In this thoughtful and imaginative study, David McGill codifies an important oral and aural tradition in musical performance and pedagogy in which he has been an active participant. Growing from the legacy of Marcel Tabuteau, this tradition continued through the work of McGill's own teachers, John de Lancie and Sol Schoenbach. McGill's book will not only be welcomed by performers, but also by musicologists interested in the history of performance practice and music theorists interested in the relationship of analysis and performance.--Kevin Korsyn, University of Michigan, "... offers a clean, modern take on Tabuteau's legacy, strong advice for aspiring wind players, and a range of observations that should inspire or provoke any serious musician.... Recommended." -- Choice, "I do not know if David McGill set out to write a book primarily about bassoon playing, but what he ended up with is a most important, all-encompassing book about music, its nature and its significance, not only for the professional musician, but for all those who see in it an expression of human creation. He deals with the different expressive means of sound, of styles and, perhaps most important of all for the practicing musician: the connection between attitude and aptitude."

Synopsis
David McGill has assembled an exhaustive study that uses the musical concepts of the legendary Marcel Tabuteau as a starting point from which to develop musical thought. McGill methodically explains the frequently misunderstood "Tabuteau number system" and its relationship to note grouping-the lifeblood of music. The controversial issue of baroque performance practice is also addressed. Instrumentalists and vocalists alike will find that many of the ideas presented in this book will help develop their musicianship as well as their understanding of what makes a performance "musical.", David McGill has assembled an exhaustive study that uses the musical concepts of the legendary Marcel Tabuteau as a starting point from which to develop musical thought.

- 7***k (3)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseVery pleased with this transaction! Seller was flexible with best offer price, which was for a personal replacement item - I'm not a reseller, so I wasn't trying to make money off this transaction. The item was described as used, but was in great condition, and providing precise measurements meant it fit perfectly. The price was competitive with other similar items. It shipped and arrived in a timely manner, as promised, and was packaged very well, considering it was a fragile, vintage piece.Antique Vintage Art Deco/Nouveau Nu Gold Swirl Design Torchiere Lamp Shade (#285942461906)
