If everybody were to play first violin, we could not have an orchestra. Therefore respect each musician in his own place.There is no end to learning.Originally published in1850, Advice to Young Musicians: Musical Rules for Home and in Life offered composer Robert Schumanns (181056) combination of practical advice and poetic words of wisdom for young people beginning their musical education. Presented in aphorisms and short paragraphs, the books insights remain as valuable today as when it was written. Recognizing the continued resonance of Schumanns words, worldrenowned cellist Steven Isserlis, himself a writer of childrens books and many articles for young musicians, set out to rescue the work from history. Here, in this beautiful gift edition, he revisits Schumanns work and contributes his own contemporary counsel for musicians and music lovers.For this edition, Isserlis retranslated Schumanns text and arranged it into four thematic sections: On being a musician, Playing, Practicing, and Composing. Each page is decoratively designed, and accompanying Schumanns original quotation are Isserliss thoughtful and often humorous glosses. The book concludes with Isserliss own reflections on his life as a musician and performer: My Own Bits of Advice (For What Theyre Worth). The result is a unique and thoughtprovoking book that will be treasured by aspiring musicians of any age.
