Purchase options and add-ons

Beginning with music fundamentals, The Complete Musician covers all the topics necessary for a thorough understanding of undergraduate music theory by focusing on music in context. Rather than rote learning of concepts and memorizing terms, The Complete Musician emphasizes how theory informs the work of performers. Composers respond not only to their instincts, experiences, and training in every work they write; they also follow certain ideals and models when appropriate, and modify them to fit their own personal vision. Theory is not a "theoretical" activity; it is a living one that responds to how music is composed and performed. Understanding how theory intersects with composition and performance is key to seeing its relevance to students' wider musical lives. The Complete Musician makes this connection.

This is an expensive book. However, every third page of this book is blurred in the middle which is really annoying.

Consegna avvenuta in anticipo rispetto i tempi previsti. Mi ritengo soddisfatto dal prodotto. L'ho subito collaudata per levigare tavole di bancale quindi sottoposta ad un lavoro gravoso e intenso, ha risposto perfettamente alle mie aspettative. L'ho collegata ad un aspiratore per limitare le polveri. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo.
