{"product_id":"9781574631333","title":"The Conductor's Challenge: Finding Expressive Meaning in the Score","description":"(Meredith Music Resource). This extension and expansion of Guide to Score Study , co-authored with Robert Garofalo, examines the various stages conductors traverse in arriving at an interpretation. Battisti emphasizes the importance of the conductor's imagination, personality and ongoing study weeks\/months\/years in developing an interpretation that is personal, well-informed and faithful to the composer's expressive intent. He examines the score analysis process including the role and function of a work's musical elements; the need to balance intellectual understanding and intuitive feelings about a piece and the challenges faced by conductors when transforming an interpretation into a performance. As examples, he traces the procedures he used in forming interpretations of \"Lisbon\" and \"Horkstow Grange\" from Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy , Copland's Down a Country Lane and \"Sinfonia\" from Stravinksy's Octet for Wind Instruments.","brand":"Meredith Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055072035056,"sku":"9781574631333","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781574631333_p0.jpg?v=1763792018","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781574631333","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
