The Musician’s Way: A Guide to<br />
Practice, Performance and Wellness<br />
Gerald Klickstein<br />
Today, more than at any time in the recent past, musicians<br />
must be in control of every aspect of their careers. The<br />
reason is simple: the environment for classical musicians is<br />
changing rapidly and old rules are vaporizing. Some have<br />
described this as a shift from institutions toward entrepreneurs.<br />
In this highly original new work, noted musician and professor<br />
at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Gerald<br />
Klickstein, presents a complete roadmap to get you to the<br />
top of your game and to stay there. With sections on Artful<br />
Practice, Fearless Performance and Lifelong Creativity, this is<br />
a practical guide, written by a musician for musicians.<br />

Gregor Pitigorsky<br />
The Life and Career of the Virtuoso Cellist<br />
Terry King<br />
Terry King was a student of Gregor Piatigorsky. This<br />
exhaustively researched book relies on King’s own experiences.<br />
as a student of Pitogorsky, family records and Piatigorsky’s<br />
autobiography, Cellist, to tell the story of his life in its full<br />
richness. Piatigorsky’s career began as that of an archetypal<br />
struggling artist. He scraped up lessons as he could, and<br />
using secondhand and borrowed instruments earned a meager<br />
living after being thrown out of his Moscow home at the age<br />
of 12. In time, his skill and mastery of the cello allowed him<br />
to emerge as solo cellist with the Berlin Philharmonic. He<br />
continued a brilliant career in the US that cemented his<br />
place as one of the twentieth century’s greatest musicians.<br />
