FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC

In this unpretentious and instructive book, internationally celebrated conductor and teacher John Mauceri brings to bear his lifetime of experience and profound knowledge. A protégé of Leonard Bernstein and an artist who has performed and recorded all over the world, Mauceri is the guide par excellence to the joys of classical music. He illuminates our understanding of what it is we hear when we listen, how each piece bears the traces of its history, and how the concert experience allows us constantly to discover music anew.
