Description
For those who have ever wondered what goes on behind the podium, Waving, Not Drowning is the ultimate guide to the world of the orchestral conductor. This comprehensive book covers everything from baton technique to player psychology, and even delves into the often-overlooked details such as shirt colours and pencil choices.
Written by Lev Parikian after the tragic loss of his co-author Barrington Orwell, this book is part biography, part coaching manual, and all wisdom. With its unique blend of humour and insight, Waving, Not Drowning is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in classical music or the art of conducting.
