Known for a flawless technique paired with expressive playing and interpretation, the Hungarian-born cellist is arguably also the premier teacher of his instrument in our time. String players flock to his masterclasses from all over the world, and cellists compete vigorously to study under him at the Indiana University School of Music. More than the consummate musician, however, Starker is also a raconteur and writer, occasionally quirky and droll, always witty and with a pointed opinion to share.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe World of Music According to Starker\u003c\/i\u003e is a colorful autobiography spanning the author's fascinating life. From his early musical education during World War II in Hungary, to his world tours, educational philosophy, and recording and pedagogical legacy, Starker takes the reader on a riveting, entertaining, and informative journey. Included in the book are several of Starker's short stories and commentaries on world events, academia, and—of course—music that have appeared in newspapers, music periodicals, and trade magazines.\u003cbr\u003e Also includes a bonus CD recording of Starker's last public recital, which is unavailable commercially and includes his only recording of the Strauss Sonata in F, Opus 6.\u003cbr\u003e Included on the CD:\u003cbr\u003e Richard Strauss, Sonata in F, Opus 6\u003cbr\u003e Ludwig van Beethoven, Sonata in C major, Opus 102 no. 1\u003cbr\u003e Johannes Brahms, Sonata in E minor, Opus 38\u003cbr\u003e Franz Schubert, Sonatina in D, Opus 137 no. 1 (Starker edition)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpigraph\u003cbr\u003e Dedication\u003cbr\u003e PreludeScotch and Soda\u003cbr\u003e AnacrusisAutobiography of a Stomach\u003cbr\u003e CHungary\u003cbr\u003e C# [short story to be selected]\u003cbr\u003e DRomania, Austria and Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e D#Mozart Meter\u003cbr\u003e EFrance\u003cbr\u003e FAmerica, Dallas\u003cbr\u003e F#Soft Pitch For the Pit\u003cbr\u003e GChicago\u003cbr\u003e G#Africa\u003cbr\u003e ABloomington Then\u003cbr\u003e A#L'art pour l'art: Waldo Caper, 1926-1960\u003cbr\u003e BBloomington Now\u003cbr\u003e CTwilight at Tiffany's\u003cbr\u003e Cadence Epilogue\u003cbr\u003e PostludeThat Room at the Top\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 1: \"An Organized Method of String Playing\"\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 2: Lists of publications, recordings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52702520770840,"sku":"9780253065391","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-world-of-music-according-to-starker-paperback-softback-9780253065391","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
