A thorough guide for conductors and instrumentalists,
This review is from: Orchestral Performance: A Guide for Conductors and Players (Paperback)
Christopher Adey's Orchestral Performance is an outstanding compendium, guide and reference book for all musicians interested in instrumental playing and conducting. This guide is laid out in a clear, concise, and sequential manner which comprehensively addresses every issue relevant to conducting (or playing), including; instrumental technique, performance, rehearsing, orchestral layout, transposition, and the physics of instruments. A highly recommended book which can be read all the way through (some 860 pages) or used for reference purposes. Thank you, Mr. Adey!
