 Something for every musician December 23, 1999
76 out of 81 found this review helpful
"Hearing and Writing Music" is a marvelously comprehensive and concretely practical book for musicians. There is something in this book for every musician, regardless of experience level. The beginning musician could read it methodically chapter-by-chapter, absorbing the text and carefully doing each exercise, while the professional musician might zero in on specific topics to enrich his knowledge and skills. I was especially intrigued by the discussion of the intervals as they relate to the harmonic series. Mr. Gorow strikes a delicate balance between scientific and aesthetic points of view; he explores the mathematical basis of music, while never losing sight of the artistic purpose of it. Mr. Gorow's method of transcription, which is perhaps the heart and soul of the book (though by no means its only purpose) is full of insight and practical advice. I applaud and heartily recommend this important and valuable book. - Andrew Kinney, professional composer/orchestrator

I wish I had had this book when I was studying music formally. Now I'm using it just for pleasure, but I'm buying it for my nephew at Indiana U. -- he's looking to be a professional and I don't want him to waste his time the way I did.
A must for anyone in the music field. October 26, 1999

This is THE book we have all been looking for! Mr. Gorow has the gift of being concise and direct (a rarity in musical text) in the terms and explanations of this work. Allowing the student immediate access to the material. Because of the need for this type of book and the way it has been presented I feel Mr. Gorow will be remembered as one of the forefathers of the next generation of great musicians. This book changed my musical life!
