Book Reviews of The Percussionist's Art: Same Bed, Different Dreams (Eastman Studies in Music)
Book Review: A must read for all percussionists
Summary: 5 Stars
Steven Schick's book is wonderfully written and extremely informative. His in depth discussion of several solo percussion masterpieces is an essential read for any aspiring, accomplished percussionist. Schick is undeniably at the forefront of this all to often overlooked idiom, and he shares his knowledge, experience and most importantly his struggles in this book. It is accompanied with a CD featuring Schick performing works such as Wourinen's Janissary Music, Lang's Anvil Chorus, Ferneyhough's Bone Alphabet, Xenakis' Rebonds and more.
If you are a percussionist who plans on persuing a career in music I cannot stress enough how important Schick has been to our artform, and to read about it through his perspective is a privelage that should not be passed up. I would also highly recommend this book to any musician outside of percussion as an interesting read.
