How
to Succeed in an Ensemble: Reflections on a Life in Chamber Music
by Abram Loft
Book Description: "A great second violinist plays second fiddle to
no one," wrote Robert C. Marsh in the Chicago Sun-Times when Abram Loft
left the renowned Fine Arts Quartet in 1979 to chair the string department
at the Eastman School of Music. Today performer-coach-scholar-raconteur
Loft still wants every chamber musician to be a strong, collaborative ensemble
voice.
Loft had spent a quarter century in ensemble life with the Fine Arts.
His intrepid Chicago team played worldwide, had a landmark concert series
on home turf, became professors at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee,
and created a prodigious library of recordings. Their earlier freelance
years featured such enterprising endeavors as three series on educational
TV, performances on commercial television and radio, jingles for advertising,
and even background music for funeral homes.
Here is hard-headed advice on choosing colleagues, rehearsing and performing
effectively together, building repertoire, programming, touring, and other
facets of the art and business of a chamber music career. Ranging from
hilarious to sobering, this is essential reading for music-lovers at large,
amateur players, students and teachers, and today's many emerging professional
ensembles. Recent events in the field, including some strident litigation,
highlight the usefulness of this veteran's realistic counsel.
Loft aims to help ensembles endure and prosper as they put their individual
stamp on the superb chamber repertoire. He points out both peaks and pitfalls
along "the yellow-brick road to Carnegie Hall."

Indivisible
by Four: A String Quartet in Pursuit of Harmony
by Arnold Steinhardt
Chamber-music lovers will rejoice in this story of the formation, nurturing,
and maturing of the Guarneri String Quartet. First violinist Arnold Steinhardt
has written a delightful memoir that radiates the love of music and sense
of mutual respect and affection that have kept the Guarneri's players together
since the ensemble was founded in 1964. How a famous, extremely busy musician
learned to write so well is a mystery, but Steinhardt's style is as engaging
and captivating as his playing. After sketching his own and his colleagues'
pre-quartet careers, he describes how they choose and rehearse their repertoire
and how they resolve their inevitable disagreements--and he even throws
light on the inexplicable magic that happens in performance. Steinhardt
recounts the pleasures and hardships of traveling and the group's partnership
with illustrious guests (notably pianist Artur Rubinstein); he tells musical
and personal anecdotes, wryly poking fun at himself and others, but never
saying a malicious or derogatory word about anyone. Most remarkably, his
discussions of a score are illuminating without becoming too technical.
Steinhardt describes the emotional impact of music with a strikingly felicitous,
often poetic touch, yet his characterizations resonate with his own experience
and avoid the overblown or extravagant. Though it helps to know the music
he feels so strongly about, this is a book anyone can enjoy. --Edith
