"The Inner Game of Music," the breakout hit that became a
standard primer in the music world, has taught thousands of
musicians--professionals and amateurs alike--how to overcome
self-consciousness and stage fright and to recapture a youthful,
almost effortless capacity to learn. Now, in his follow-up book,
"The Mastery of Music," Barry Green turns his expert hand to the
artistic qualities that make an extraordinary musician. Culling
advice from dozens of interviews with legends including Joshua
Bell, Dave Brubeck, Jeffrey Kahane, Bobby McFerrin, Christopher
Parkening, Doc Severinsen, Frederica von Stade, the Harlem Boys
Choir, and the Turtle Island String Quartet, he reveals that it's
not enough to have a cerebral and emotional connection to the
notes. Green hows how musical excellence, exhibited by true
virtuosos, requires a mastery of ten unique qualities of the soul
and the human spirit, such as confidence, passion, discipline,
creativity, and relaxed concentration, and he discusses specific
ways in which all musicians, composers, and conductors can take
their skills to higher levels. He carefully incorporates all
instruments and techniques in his rejuvenating discussions,
inspiring the stifled student to have fun again and the
over-rehearsed performer to rediscover the joy of passionate
expression. Essential reading for every musician, "The Mastery of
Music" strikes a beautiful new chord.
