Description

The Art of Accompanying and Coaching by Kurt Adler
The first part of the book gives the historical and technical background of the subject and explains in detail the mechanics of string instruments, piano, celests, organ, harmonium and voice. The next section offers a through guide to the singing diction of five languages. The author continues with a discussion of the elements of musical style, describing, with the use of ample musical illustrations, tempo, thythm, dynamics, phrasing and articulation and ornamenation.
The spine is in tact and has its original dust jacket, which does show signs of wear.
