Turning Notes Into Music: An Introduction to Musical Interpretation

By Hans Lampl

Book Overview

By enabling performers to grasp the fundamentals of interpretation, this work allows them to satisfy the requirements of the music and follow their artistic impulse simultaneously. It outlines the steps that transform a literal rendition ("playing the notes") into a musical and convincing performance. Organized into nine chapters, each focused on a single area of interpretation, Turning Notes into Music presents musicians with a comprehensive, illustrated guide to the interpretative problems that they must address while preparing a piece of music for performance.
