Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2013 Hard Cover. xii, 268 pp. What does a conductor actually do? How much effect does he or she have? Can the orchestra manage without one? Why don't the players look at the conductor more? Is it necessary for the conductor to play every instrument? What about interpretation? What happens at rehearsals? Why do some conductors "thrash around" more than others? Who's the boss in a concerto: the soloist or the conductor? These are some of the questions that receive lively andinformative answers in this book by renowned conductor Christopher Seaman. Composed of short articles on individual topics, it is accessible and easy to consult. Each article begins with an anecdote or saying and ends with quotations from musicians, often expressing opposing views. There are many books on the art of conducting, but none like this. Music lovers wondering what the figure on the podium actually does, and aspiring conductors eager to learn more about the art and craft of leading an orchestra, will all treasure this wise yet humorous book. Christopher Seaman has been successful at both ends of the baton. After four years as principal timpanist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, he was appointed principal conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and has enjoyed a busy international conducting career for over forty years. He is now Conductor Laureate for Life of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, New York, and he continues to bring great music and wise words to audiences, students, and readers around the world.

Verso inscribed in pencil with the intials B.H.S above "order #200 Reduce to 4 x 3 1/2". Further down verso marked in pencil is a calculation and studio stamp of Zintgraff Photograph of San Antonio, TX. Photo shows chemistry classroom made up of five rows of high counters crowded with students clustered in groups of 2 or 3 pouring liquid between beakers and test tubes. Students include fifteen males and four females with a male professor in the center. The students eyes are focused on their work while the professor looks directly at the camera, his expression unguarded. Most of the students have intent expressions but a few including one male student in military dress are clearly containing smiles, conscious of the camera. Female students wear blouses and skirts, male students collared shirts with two in military uniform, and the professor is dressed in jacket and tie. Foregrounded is the surface of the front counter with chemistry tools and classroom materials lining it. A periodic table is visible hanging on the wall at the back of the classroom. Photo is well lit with rich details including student expressions which evoke the excitement of the occasion, each one posing while trying not to appear posed. Overall very good condition. Signed.
