Description
Based on his decades of experience conducting these works, Leonard Slatkin guides readers through eight of the most beloved orchestral pieces of the nineteenth century:
· Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, “Eroica”
· Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition (orch. Maurice Ravel)
· Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique
· Johannes Brahms’s Symphony No. 1

· Jean Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2

· Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique”
Slatkin tackles problems conductors face before stepping onto the podium and highlights the many decisions they make during the study process, as well as in rehearsal and performance, to
bring a score to life. He also shares tricks of the trade for leading efficient rehearsals and recounts engaging anecdotes from a lifetime of music making.
This book will open the world of score study to conductors, other musicians, and students interested in expanding their knowledge of this essential repertoire.
