David McGill has assembled an exhaustive study that uses the musical concepts of the legendary Marcel Tabuteau as a starting point from which to develop musical thought. McGill methodically explains the frequently misunderstood "Tabuteau number system" and its relationship to note grouping-the lifeblood of music. The controversial issue of baroque performance practice is also addressed. Instrumentalists and vocalists alike will find that many of the ideas presented in this book will help develop their musicianship as well as their understanding of what makes a performance "musical."

Industry Reviews

"I do not know if David McGill set out to write a book primarily about bassoon playing, but what he ended up with is a most important, all-encompassing book about music, its nature and its significance, not only for the professional musician, but for all those who see in it an expression of human creation. He deals with the different expressive means of sound, of styles and, perhaps most important of all for the practicing musician: the connection between attitude and aptitude." Daniel Barenboim
