An intriguing study

How To Succeed In An Ensemble: Reflections On A Life In Chamber Music by Abram Loft (Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester), is a combination personal memoir and practical advice sourcebook written by an impressively accomplished musician and educator who spent a quarter century in ensemble life with the Fine Arts. Individual chapters wonderfully illustrate such issues as overcoming hurdles to join quartets or ensembles; dealing with reviews; rehearsal difficulties; settling in to a new life of teaching chamber music; and a great deal more. An intriguing study, How To Succeed In An Ensemble is most especially recommended for aspiring musicians seriously considering pursuing a career in ensemble music.
