Description

Between the mind and hand is a place difficult to grasp. Impulse and Strength is about that place. Much has been written on the nature of what the mind perceives as music and what the hand must play in order to make that music. There is also a vast literature on how to compose music which will satisfy both the mind and the hand. However, little has been written about the unique learning process that allows the hand access to the specialized gestures necessary for musical play. This book is a guided tour through the process of enabling the hands to make music.
