Faber Music Ltd The Mindful Pianist
Book SynopsisEPTA's The Mindful Pianist presents amateurs and professionals with a fresh perspective on playing and performing. Applying the concept of mindfulness to the piano, this invaluable text explores the crucial connection between mind and body.Trade Review"Practical, positive, perfect!" - Pam Wedgwood "Both the amateur and professional pianist will find something of substance in 'The Mindful Pianist', for its fresh approach is both invigorating and thought-provoking. The book highlights the immense significance of cultivating a better and more conscious use of mind. Indeed, intense concentration, and orderly use and presence of mind, are essential tools of a great pianist, and the aspiring amateur and student would greatly benefit from Mark Tanner's suggestions of how to develop these qualities. This line of work, in turn, will lead to more precise and refined listening and, hence, improved practising. The 'Mindful Pianist' tackles this vital issue, and much else, admirably, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to pianists of all levels." - Martino Tirimo "In typical Mark Tanner style, this book is an enterprising, absorbing and enjoyable read" - Erica Worth, Editor, Pianist Magazine

Alma Books Ltd La Traviata
Book SynopsisLa Traviata' was Giuseppe Verdi's eighteenth opera and shows him at the height of his middle-period powers. Adapted from La Dame aux Camelias' by Alexandre Dumas fils, it portrays the love between the courtesan Violetta Valery and the young Alfredo Germont in fashionable Parisian society, with its inevitable tragic outcome. It had its premiere at La Fenice in Venice in 1853 and has gone on to become one of the most performed and greatly loved of all operas. There are articles in the guide about Verdi's preparations for the first performances, a musical commentary, an overview of the opera's social background and an examination of how the libretto was adapted from Dumas's play. Also included are a survey of important performances and performers, sixteen pages of illustrations, a musical thematic guide, the full libretto and English translation, a discography, bibliography and DVD and website guides.Trade ReviewFor anyone with a keen interest in opera, whatever their level of knowledge, this series remains a benchmark of quality and clarity. The content is serious, reliable and trustworthy, handsomely put together, full of variety and scholarship but always making the practical experience of going to the opera a priority. I return to these volumes again and again and find the updated and new issues absolutely invaluable. -- Fiona MaddocksThese guides, so beautiful to have and to behold, mark a huge advance on their predecessors. I find them essential supplements, not only to ENO and Royal Opera programmes, but to recordings issued on CD which often come without scholarly documentation and a libretto. The performance histories … are especially valuable, and not easily accessible elsewhere. -- Hugh CanningBeautifully produced and designed … they are terrific value. -- Rupert Christiansen * The Daily Telegraph *This uniformly excellent series is indispensable for the serious opera lover, all the more so now that almost all the CD companies have abandoned issuing a libretto with their opera releases, and have such scant background information. The English translations are on facing pages with the original texts, and in all respects the books are helpful and compact, and interestingly illustrated. -- Michael TannerNeat little volumes they are, handy for carrying around, clearly printed and well set-out, complete with libretto and translation, discography and a generous selection of illustrations. * Gramophone *I am delighted to see the return of the ENO Opera Guides, bigger and even more authoritative than before. There are authoritative new articles as well as several of the irreplaceable originals, the presentation is very handsome and a decided gain is the brilliantly chosen selection of production images, in colour as well as black and white. The Guides are an invaluable reference for opera lovers at any level. -- David NiceThis sturdy paperback is another recent instalment in the increasingly indispensable series of Overture Opera Guides * BBC Music Magazine *For everything you need to know, concisely packaged. * The Telegraph *

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC National Identity and the British Musical
Book SynopsisNational Identity and the British Musical: From Blood Brothers to Cinderella examines the myths associated with national identity which are reproduced by the British musical and asks why the genre continues to uphold, instead of challenging, outdated ideals. All too often, UK musicals reinforce national identity clichés and caricatures, conflate England' with Britain' and depict a mono-cultural nation viewed through a nostalgic lens. Through case studies and analysis of British musicals such as Blood Brothers, Six, Half a Sixpence and Billy Elliot, this book examines the place of the British musical within a text-based theatrical heritage and asks what, or whose, Britain is being represented by home grown musicals. The sheer number of people engaging with shows bestows enormous power upon the genre and yet critics display a reluctance to analyse the cultural meanings produced by new work, or to hold work to account for production teams and narratives which continuTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction 1.
