Description

Dr. Maurice Hinson concludes his extensive collection of period anthologies and DVDs with an in-depth examination of Impressionist compositions. This elegantly designed edition features works from the top 20 composers of the Impressionist movement, accompanied by a detailed foreword that provides historical context for each composer, performance notes for individual pieces, and insights into the compositional techniques characteristic of Impressionism. The comb binding allows the book to lay flat, making it ideal for both study and performance. In the accompanying DVD lecture, Dr. Hinson delves into four key aspects of Impressionism: its early influences, performance techniques, musical characteristics, and specific repertoire from the anthology. Alfred's DVDs serve as valuable visual and auditory resources for understanding stylistic and technical interpretations, essential for enhancing musical performances. The book comprises 208 pages.
