Markand Thakar Livres

A practical manual for building musical understanding and physical skills, intended for conductors at all stages of development.

Exploring the nature of beauty in music, the book delves into the roles of composer, performer, and listener through engaging dialogues between Icarus, an ambitious student, and Daedalus, his skeptical teacher. Using Beethoven's "Harp" Quartet as a thematic anchor, it balances profound philosophical insights with humor and accessibility. Additionally, three technical articles provide a deeper analysis for music professionals and academics, enriching the reader's understanding of the artistic experience.
