 On Composing Music June 5, 2000
19 out of 22 found this review helpful
This book is full of small exercises for getting the beginnner to start composing. Covers most of the techniques a composer will want to know without giving you a headache. However, the scope of the book doesn't cover where and how to use some of the techniques. Though not methodical toward composing mature pieces, overall the book is highly educational for those with a background of half a year of college piano or theory class. I would recommend it to anyone.
 EXCELLENTway to get started--and keep going. March 3, 2000

"Imagine that you have been captured by the Lorac, a warlike tribe ruled by Edrevol, who will spare you life only if you please him with the music you write for the Imperial Flute..."If you've ever wanted to take a note for a walk, Russo's guide will tease, challenge, and entice you to commit it to paper. The especial strength of this book is that you get a few rules at a time with each exercise: some only hint at why you should do some things to create a musically interesting composition; others state flat-out why some effects work. Learn by doing!
