Description for Conducting Concerti: A Technical and Interpretive Guide
Hardcover. Num Pages: 416 pages. BIC Classification: AVGC; AVS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 233 x 167 x 32. Weight in Grams: 714.
This book examines 43 great concerti and discusses, in detail, the technical, aural, rehearsal, and intra-personal skills that are required for “effortless excellence.” Maestro Itkin wrote this book for conductors first encountering the concerto repertoire and for those wishing to improve their skills on this important, and often understudied, literature. Often misunderstood is the fact that both the physical technique and the score study process require a substantially different and more nuanced approach than with the major symphonic repertoire. In short, this is the book that Itkin wished had been available when he was a student and young professional.
