Musicianship Baseline
At the center of the four intersecting domains (see Venn diagram) is Musicianship Baseline, an initial launch-point or hub for all subjects.
This opening chapter launches a working philosophy of musicianship and a topical series: “the importance of…” (listening, self-recording, performing with intention, “artistic license”).
It continues with subheadings – what it means to a “fluent” musician; three references by Farkas, Blum, and Klickstein; recording-to-recording comparisons; recording-to-score comparisons; personalized editing of the score; vocabulary and language; storytelling and making connections; “pathos” (select works); phrasing essentials; the Tabuteau numbering system; shading and color; how to listen to music; and other resources.
