Composer and author Daniel Felsenfeld takes the reader on a tour of
some of the “Little Russian's” most beloved works, including The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, 1812 Overture, Romeo and Juliet,
Symphonies Nos. 4 and 6, the Serenade for Strings, and his Violin
Concerto. The book is a series of blow-by-blow listening sections
matched to the music on two accompanying CDs, guiding the reader
through these magical compositions, illuminating their edges and fine
points.
| “The
objective of the books in this series [Unlocking the Masters] is
precisely what the title implies--to give listeners tools to be more
effective as a listener, and in this task, Felsenfeld has succeeded in
a big way....This book iswritten in a non-academic style that is
immensely readable and, at least in the case of this reader, hard to
put down...this book is for anyone who wishes to try to understand
music better...Felsenfeld hopes that reading this book will give us
tools to better understand all music. Well, I indeed, have found myself
listening to music with a renewed vigor, and this book has inspired me
to get back to work with more energy in my teaching, practicing and
listening. Thank you, Mr. Felsenfeld!” American Music Teacher,

the music, pointing out key changes, tempos, chord progressions, and
more, all the while offering insightful nuggets that make the music
even more enjoyable.” -Strings Magazine (Nov. 1, 2007) |
