About this product
Product Information
The Art of Performance draws on Schenker's experience as a musician and teacher to propose a sharp re-evaluation of how musical compositions are realized in performance. Schenker argues that much of contemporary performance practice is rooted in the nineteenth-century cult of the virtuoso, which has resulted in an overemphasis on technical display. To counter this, he suggests numerous ways to reconnect the composer's intentions and the musician's performance.

"...the ideas Schenker puts forth here are profound...they will prove valuable to both music theorists and serious performers."--Notes, "We are most fortunate that Oxford University Press has published Heribert Esser's edition of The Art of Performance in a lucid translation by Irene Schreier Scott. This book is a first-hand account of what Schenker taught: it permits us to eavesdrop on his lessons, so to speak, putting us in the position of one of his student...[T]he book is an outstanding achievement."--Music Theory Spectrum"This brief work is the most illuminating guide to performance and interpretation I have read." --Richard Goode, pianist"We are most fortunate that Oxford University Press has published Heribert Esser's edition of The Art of Performance in a lucid translation by Irene Schreier Scott. This book is a first-hand account of what Schenker taught: it permits us to eavesdrop on his lessons, so to speak, putting us in the position of one of his student...[T]he book is an outstanding achievement."--Music Theory Spectrum"This volume where Schenker gives advice to performers in general, pianists in particular, on how to fulfil the demands inherent in those layers of musical material behind the foreground is a very helpful adjunct to his profound analyses. There are some very ingenious, unusual, and helpful ideas that can give life to, and must be used in conjunction with, his analytical visions." --Murray Perahia"Heinrich Schenker was the most influential music theorist of the twentieth century and one of the most original and profound musical thinkers of all time. This book is full of stimulating and provocative ideas, and it is one that will be a valuable addition to the library of every literate and thoughtful performing musician, every advanced student of performance, and every theorist and musicologist with an interest in performance." --Carl Schachter,Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York"This brief work is the most illuminating guide to performance and interpretation I have read. It gives new life to essential, too often neglected principles of music-making, and points the way toward a flexible style of playing that grows directly out of the intrinsic qualities of the music. Properly understood, Schenker's liberating insights will inspire musicians to realize the composer's wishes in freer, more imaginative and meaningful ways." --RichardGoode, pianist, "[P]acked with a rich variety of insights....In the burgeoning field of performance studies, it should rapidly become a standard text."--Music and Letters, "This volume where Schenker gives advice to performers in general, pianists in particular, on how to fulfil the demands inherent in those layers of musical material behind the foreground is a very helpful adjunct to his profound analyses.

nice seller, received book as described but looks like the book was already opened and resealed, it not how a sealed book is supposed to look also, the shipping cost was reasonable and package came on time. I would have given four stars and neutral feedback because of the way it sealed. it doest look like a book that wasn't opened. good communication. it not worth the price I paid.
