These popular 48 Preparatory Exercises were written by Johann Pischna and Bernhard Wolff and serve as preparation for the more difficult Technical Studies. Melodically pleasing with contrapuntal passages; the exercises accentuate maintaining proper fingering; dynamics and tempo; while reinforcing the ability to play in different keys. This new edition corrects old errors; translates all text into English and adds new helpful directions.

Encompassing and probingBy David CisekA book of its time (60s-early 80s); but Im glad I finally came to it. Generally it contrasts the theories and practices of western innovators (Stanislavski et. al.; Brecht; Grotowski; Brooks) against the rituals and traditions of eastern institutions (Kathakali; Noh; Kabuki; ritual events of Bali; India; especially Ramlila). Fascinating diagrams accompany the discussion of performance theory. Loved the essays on performance in "Restoration of Behavior;" and "Transported and Transformed." And for both the actor and director; the argument that performance exists somewhere between the "not-me and not-not-me" is compelling.8 of 41 people found the following review helpful.
