In this groundbreaking look into the world of "classical" music, David Jacobson interweaves his educative experiences at the Curtis Institute of Music with his quest to understand how performers such as Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, Vladimir Horowitz, and Glenn Gould achieved such unsurpassed levels of musical expression and technical skill. What were their "secret" techniques and musical insights?

Jacobson has spent many years analyzing the approach of these and other master players uncovering their "secrets" (including how note grouping and "laws of phrasing" affect the technique and musical expression of playing) which he reveals in clear, precise, non-technical language, supplemented by color diagrams, photographs and annotated musical examples. His conclusion: the methods, paradigmatic shifts and musical approach of these masters are fundamentally the same, yet diametrically opposed to what is taught by contemporary music teaching systems (such as those of Ivan Galamian and Shinichi Suzuki) for string playing, orchestral instruments, piano and voice. Talent and mastery are inseparable from perception--from how you perceive and understand the music itself. Jacobson's exploration of the "secret" techniques and musical insights of great performers aims to revitalize the art of classical music in general. The rediscovery of these techniques and concepts will:

Make playing easier and more expressive
Improve the effeciveness of teaching; the principles of expert playing are clear
Develop talent naturally, without impediment
Create many more outstanding performers and composers
End the need for a conductor's presence in orchestral performance
Change our ideas about the nature of genius, talent and our own potential
