The Impact of the British Oboist Léon Goossens by Jonathan Tobutt Pdf

In this study of Léon Goossens’ musical life, the author reassesses the current limited and fragmented perspectives of Léon’s contribution to British oboe playing through his interpretative and performance strategies, his orchestral and solo careers, the people who influenced and were influenced by him, his character as reported by those who studied and worked with him and, significantly, his pivotal role as a catalyst for new compositions that created a considerable library of British oboe music addressing a paucity in the repertoire. To place Léon’s impact in the context of the oboe’s history in Britain, factors concerning the influence of the French School on the British style of oboe playing are explored, as well as the entrenched polarised attitudes towards the instrument and a solo compositional vacuum prevalent in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that ultimately provided a platform for a restoration of the instrument’s status.

Secret Memory Techniques--Book 2, Kyoto 1772 by Anonim Pdf

Mono oboe no hiden kōhen [Secret Memory Techniques—Book 2 ] was published in the second month of the ninth year of Meiwa [1772] in Kyōto—a centre of Japanese culture for over 1000 years. It follows the first book mono oboe no hiden [Secret Memory Techniques] written in 1771. Seisui-sensei [teacher Seisui] orally dictated the techniques in both books, which were scribed by Tō Isshō. This book was probably intended for advanced learners. It expands on Book 1 and extends the memory aid system using the body to also include the hands. It gives numerous examples of how to remember a wide range of things which were considered useful. It discusses the techniques for memorising numericals, the calendar, poetry, kanji pronunciation, and navigation and heterographs. All of the basic concepts and techniques can still be used in the modern day for strengthening your memory. Book 1 and Book 2 provide much more than memory techniques—they take the modern reader on a fascinating journey of cultural and linguistic discovery.

Marcel Tabuteau by Laila Storch Pdf

Laila Storch is a world-renowned oboist in her own right, but her book honors Marcel Tabuteau, one of the greatest figures in twentieth-century music. Tabuteau studied the oboe from an early age at the Paris Conservatoire and was brought to the United States in 1905, by Walter Damrosch, to play with the New York Symphony Orchestra. Although this posed a problem for the national musicians' union, he was ultimately allowed to stay, and the rest, as they say, is history. Eventually moving to Philadelphia, Tabuteau played in the Philadelphia Orchestra and taught at the Curtis Institute of Music, ultimately revamping the oboe world with his performance, pedagogical, and reed-making techniques. In 1941, Storch auditioned for Tabuteau at the Curtis Institute, but was rejected because of her gender. After much persistence and several cross-country bus trips, she was eventually accepted and began a life of study with Tabuteau. Blending archival research with personal anecdotes, and including access to rare recordings of Tabuteau and Waldemar Wolsing, Storch tells a remarkable story in an engaging style.

Secret Memory Techniques, Kyoto 1771 by Michael Gurner Pdf

Mono oboe no hiden [Secret Memory Techniques] was published in the twelfth month of the eighth year of the Meiwa era [1771] in Kyōto—a centre of Japanese culture for over 1000 years. Seisui-sensei (teacher Seisui) orally dictated the techniques, which were scribed by Tō Isshō. Book 1 was intended for everyday people, particularly those teaching children. These techniques involve using the body as a memory aid, as well as making associations between the information to be remembered and familiar objects. The goal is to make the information more memorable and easier to recall. This book covers the basic concepts of the techniques, including the approach to building the body memory aid system, right mindset, and how to observe and remember people and objects. Book 2--published separately in 1772--was probably intended for advanced learners. It expands on book 1 and extends the memory aid system to the hands. It gives numerous examples of how to remember a wide range of things which were considered useful. Some of the memory techniques in these books resemble those reportedly used in Japan around 4000 years ago, such as assigning numbers to different parts of the body to assist memory recall. Some bear a resemblance to those used by ninja in the feudal era, such as the technique of using familiar objects to assist recall. Some resemble those introduced by Europeans in ancient times, such as the method of loci and the memory palace technique. Also, there are references in Book 1 to Chinese literature, suggesting some of the techniques might have also been used in China to aid with the memorisation of key texts. All of the basic concepts and techniques can still be used in the modern day for strengthening your memory. Book 1 and Book 2 provide much more than memory techniques—they take the modern reader on a fascinating journey of cultural and linguistic discovery.
