The Complete Musician
The Complete Musician
Bringing together the analytical, aural, and tactile activities that comprise a tonal theory curriculum, The Complete Musician, Second Edition, relies on a diverse repertoire and innovative exercises to explicitly connect theory (writing and analysis), skills (singing, playing, and dictation), and music-making outside the theory class. It provides students with a strong foundation in the principles of writing, analyzing, hearing, singing, and playing tonal harmony and enables them to understand the most important musical forms. Features of the Second Edition * Enhanced and supplemented by five music DVDs--two packaged with the text, two with Student Workbook I, and one with Student Workbook II. These DVDs contain a total of more than sixteen hours of high-quality recorded examples--from solo piano to full orchestra--of the examples and exercises in the text and workbooks, performed by soloists and ensembles from the Eastman School of Music and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition, examples and exercises are included on the DVDs in downloadable MP3 format. * Significantly revised in order to improve general ordering between large topics (for example, the pre-dominant function is introduced earlier) and organization within chapters (particularly in Parts 1-4) * Offers new topics and expansions: a new chapter (16) devoted exclusively to the motive; new sections on analytical decision-making through Gestalt techniques (Chapters 2 and 7); lead sheet notation (Chapter 6); harmonizing florid melodies (beginning in Chapter 9); and an expanded section on musical texture and harmonic analysis (Chapter 6) * Introduces numerous analyses throughout the book, including thirteen "Model Analysis" sections, that provide extended analyses of canonical pieces * Includes more than 200 new examples, many from wind and brass literature * Explanations and definitions have been carefully revised for clarity, with added summary charts and step-by-step procedures * Offers new types of exercises--in both the text and in the workbooks--including exercises for single-line instrumentalists, listening exercises, and more graduated exercises * Workbook exercises are now structured in a consistent format of discrete assignments (four to eight assignments per chapter) that usually fit on one or two sheets of paper for ease in handing in to the instructor. Each assignment contains a variety of exercises, crafted for students with a wide range of abilities. Supplementary exercises are also included for further practice. * Expanded Instructor's Manual adds model solutions for more than 200 analysis and part writing exercises; each chapter includes teaching guidelines and supplementary analytical, dictation, playing, and writing exercises

Show Tunes, 1905-1985
The shows, songs, and careers of Broadway's major composers--from Jerome Kern's first interpolation to Stephen Sondheim's latest work--are reexamined in this comprehensive reference book. Berlin, Gershwin, Rodgers, Porter, Arlen, Bernstein, Weill, Styne, and many more--their work, their innovations, their successes and failures are discussed. A total of 750 productions and 6,000 songs are cited and indexed. Also discussed are dozens of heretofore ignored shows that closed out of town or were not headed for Broadway; misplaced, forgotten songs, and shows by Kern, Gershwin, Rodgers, Loesser, Sondheim, and others have been rediscovered and carefully catalogued. Drawing upon his thorough knowledge of the workings of Broadway, Suskin analyzes the songs, shows, and composers from a practical, theatrical perspective.

Neuro-ophthalmology
Neuro-ophthalmology
Neuro-Ophthalmologywas developed for practitioners, residents, and students who encounter patients with disturbances of the afferent visual pathways and efferent ocular motor systems. It contains in-depth discussionsof neurophthalmic topics and disorders to help readers diagnose and manage patients. Each chapter includes an introduction to the structures or disorders discussed, followed by a review of their neuroanatomy, symptoms, and signs. A detailed discussion ofthe presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, neuroimaging and diagnostic studies, and management of the diseases which affect that structure follows. The book is divided into four parts history and examination, afferent disorders, efferent disorders, and headache to provide readers with thorough, clinically focused information. Repetition between chapters is kept to a minimum through diligent cross-referencing of topics, figures, and tables. Reviews of neuroanatomy andneurophysiology are based upon clinical and pathological observations in humans without extensive discussion of experimental literature involving non-human primates and other animals, making this resource excellent for board preparation. The examination chapter includes reviews of the neurological examination and the bedside neuro-ophthalmic evaluation of comatose patients, helping readers to neuroanatomically localize the problem and determine its etiology. Highly illustrated and referenced, this organized and uniform textbook bridges the gap between neuro-ophthalmic encyclopedias and neuro-ophthalmic handbooks containing tables, outlines, and flow-diagrams.
