Practicing Music by Design: Historic Virtuosi on Peak Performance delves into pedagogical practices aimed at achieving exceptional skill in performance. It chronicles the interplay between historical practices and contemporary research, examining the defining features and applications of eight common components of practice from the perspectives of performing artists, master teachers, and scientists. The author presents both historical and contemporary research to aid musicians in comprehending the abstract principles underlying various concepts. Upon completing the study, students and performers will gain insights into areas in their practice that hinder their development. The principles articulated herein are universal, not instrument-specific, derived from modern research and the methods of legendary virtuosi and teachers. Figures discussed include:
Luminaries Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopin
Renowned performers Anton Rubinstein, Mark Hambourg, Ignace Paderewski, and Sergei Rachmaninoff
Extraordinary teachers Theodor Leschetizky, Rafael Joseffy, Leopold Auer, Carl Flesch, and Ivan Galamian
Lesser-known musicians who wrote perceptively on the subject, such as violinists Frank Thistleton, Rowsby Woof, Achille Rivarde, and Sydney Robjohns
Practicing Music by Design establishes a novel connection between research and practice, outlining the practices of some of the most virtuosic concert performers in history while ultimately addressing the central question: How does all this contribute to the development of better musicians and artists?
