“There is no doubt in my mind about the pedagogical potency of the use of the Swiss Ball for conducting study. This simple device transfers responsibility for teaching from heretoforeused verbal explanations to a new world of instruction that uses body awareness as the primary vehicle.†— James Jordan, Learn Conducting Technique with the Swiss Exercise Ball  Traditional conducting methods rely on how conductors look––not how they feel. James Jordan’s groundbreaking Learn Conducting Technique with the Swiss Exercise Ball takes the study of conducting beyond the mechanics to a higher plane. Using the Swiss Exercise Ball, everyone from the most experienced conductor to the beginner can tie into a state of awarenessthat opens the door to increased musical expression and kinesthetic awareness. With the aid of a Swiss Exercise Ball and the Body Mapping techniques described in this book, conductors can reach a new level of artistic expression and mastery. The Swiss Exercise Ball is available in four sizes from GIA Publications, and each comes with a pump. Choose the ball size based on the height of the conductor: • 45 cm ball, under 5’ tall (G-6575) • 55 cm ball, 5’ to 5’8†tall (G-6576) • 65 cm ball, 5’9†to 6’3†tall (G-6577) • 75 cm ball, 6’3†and taller (G-6578).

French organist and composer, Marcel Dupre (1886-1971) is also remembered as a significant pedagogue. His Complete Course in Organ Improvisation is for beginners of Organ improvisation, who have previously acquired some Organ technique. The first volume gives focus to harmonisation of scales and chorales, phrases, cadences, modulation, and form and structure, among other musical aspects. Dupre studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Louis Vierne and Charles-Marie Widor, where he won prizes for Piano, Organ and fugue, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He was a famous Organ virtuoso and was able to perform the entire works composed for the instrument by J. S. Bach from memory. Dupre's compositions and didactic works remain important to organists today and his Complete Course in Organ Improvisation is no exception. .

Das Fragment Kyrie eleison fur Orgel im Fruhjahr 1980 fur Zsigmond Szathmary komponiert ist Fragment im fruher angedeuteten Sinn. Als Ausschnitt aus dem Labyrinth unserer musikalischen Moglichkeiten, als Teilausdruck von diesen. Vielleicht auch Beginn eines grosseren Zyklus.Zugleich Ruckerinnerung an meine musikalische Kindheit, als ich, die Pedale mit den Fussen kaum erreichend, auf einer Orgelbank sass in einem kleinen Dorf mit dem schonen Namen Odenspiel, improvisierend ohne Ende, traumverloren.Spater wurden Kirche wie Orgel zum Problem. In neuen Stucken nun Ausgang von einfachen Elementen (Ton und Farbe, Intervall und Cluster, periodischer und aperiodischer Rhythmus, Gestik und Feld), Versuch, entsprechend den Bedingungen der Orgel, Punkt und Linie zur Flache zu formen. Auch zu explosiven Ausbruchen.Die Tone zu Beginn und Ende bilden ein Halbtonintervall, zugleich ein stationares Tongewebe. Erinnerung eines alten Klagerituals? Versteinert als nicht mehr mogliches oder noch nicht wieder mogliches Kyrie eleison?(Friedhelm Dohl)Bibliography:Petersen, Birger: Neue Musik. Analysen, Berlin: Simon Verlag fur Bibliothekswissen 2013, pp. 111-120.World premiere: Munich, 1980.

Diese weitausgesponnene, vielteilige Fantasie folgt den Spuren eines der eigenwilligsten Spatrenaissancemeister, der durch ungewohnliche chromatische Fortschreitungen und kuhne Harmonik den Stil und den Ausdruck jener Zeit zu Ende gepragt hat. Die sieben Stationen in dieser Komposition sind charakteristische Zitate aus Madrigalen Don Carlo Gesualos, des Principe de Venosa (um 1560 - 1613). Aus den vertonbaren Buchstaben seines Namens (g-e-es-a-d) entsteht eine pragnante Intervallfolge, die als Leitmotiv in. variierter Gestalt haufig wiederkehrt. Das letzte Zitat ist identisch mit dem ersten; so schliesst sich die Folge der Stationen zu einem Ring. Der Text des Kernzitats lautet: Moro lasso al mio duolo (Ich sterbe, ach an meiner Qual), Die sieben Stationen gliedern als formale und inhaltliche Schwer- und Ruhepunkte den Verlauf des gesamten Stucks; der Beginn eines jeden neuen Zitats wird durch eine vorangehende Pause oder eine Klangfermate verdeutlicht. Dagegen bilden die sechs Intermezzi (die eigentlichen Meditationen) in ihrem verschiedenartigen Bewegungsablauf wirksame Kontrastflachen, die sich entweder aus den ruhigen Stationen unmerklich entwickeln (z. B.: A, B und E) oder in schroffem Gegensatz zu dem vorhergehenden oder nachfolgenden Abschnitt stehen. Eine Introduzione (Entwicklung des Leitmotivs) und eine Reduzione umrahmen das Werk. Anstelle eines Ausklangs im Pianissimo kann der Interpret eine jah auffahrende Schlusswendung im Fortissimo wahlen. Alte und neue Ausdrucksmittel sollen in dieser Meditation als These und Antithese gegenubergestellt und zur Synthese gefuhrt werden.
