About the contributors
Reviews
-
The Concert Composer's Business Handbook fills an important gap in music literature. While countless books explore compositional craft, few address the practical realities of sustaining a career. Rosenhaus's guide is that missing resource, equally valuable to aspiring composers and experienced professionals ... A clear, practical, and encouraging guide, this book is more than a one-time read.
