Notes for Flutists: A Guide to the Repertoire offers important
historical and analytical information about three dozen of the
best-known pieces written for the instrument. Its contextual and
theoretical insights make it an indispensable resource for
professional, amateur, and student flutists. With engaging prose
supported by fact-filled analytical charts, the book offers rich
biographical information and informative analyses to help flutists
gain a more complete understanding of J. S. Bach's Sonata in B
minor, Reinecke's Undine Sonata, Faure's Fantaisie, Hindemith's
Sonata for Flute and Piano, Copland's Duo for Flute and Piano, and
30 other masterpieces. Offering a faithful and comprehensive
resource for understanding the context in which the repertory was
composed, Notes for Flutists details in clear, chronological order
flute repertoire from Georg Philipp Telemann, Gabriel Faure, Claude
Debussy, Luciano Berio to Robert Muczynski and Aaron Copland. Kyle
J. Dzapo offers rich biographical information on each composer and
highlights history's impact on the creation and performance of
notable works for flute. Aimed as a starting point for connecting
performance studies with scholarship, Dr. Dzapo's analysis will
help flutists gain a more complete picture of a given work. Its
contextual and theoretical insights make it essential to musicians
preparing and presenting programs, and detailed historical
information about the work and composer will encourage and equip
readers with the desire and insights to explore other works in a
similarly analytical way. Lending insights to both solo flute and
chamber pieces, Dzapo presents Notes for Flutists as an accessible
music theory and analysis resource, making it indispensible for
students and professionals alike.
Johnny Griffin, the Little Giant from the South Side of Chicago,
has remained a top jazz saxophonist throughout his 62-year playing
career. He has spent 42 years in Europe and is recognized
internationally as a major jazz star with a readily identifiable
style, an immense improvisational flair and an unfailing capacity
to swing. As jazz writer Brian Priestley has observed: Griffin is
one of the fastest and most accurate ever on his instrument.
Griffin is an articulate, witty and entertaining conversationalist
with an unending flow of anecdotal reminiscences about his days
with Lionel Hampton, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Eddie Lockjaw
Davis, the Clarke Boland Big Band and the variety of small groups
he has fronted over the years. The Little Giant is a light-hearted,
irreverent and uninhibited look at the life of one of the most
consummate musicians in jazz. Author Mike Hennessey is a jazz
critic, producer, broadcaster and pianist. Other books by him
include a biography of the late drummer, Kenny Clarke, Klook, and a
history of Ronnie Scott's Club, Some of My Best Friends Are Blues.
He has covered the international music scene for Billboard magazine
for 27 years and he has written more than 500 album notes and
hundreds of articles for a wide range of jazz magazines in North
America and Europe."
