Playing from the Core is a new method for practicing the French horn. With an in-depth understanding of the traditions and history of French horn technique, Tommi Hyytinen brings new perspectives to instrumental practice by examining the interaction of mind and body and incorporating these insights into his method. The body is perhaps a musician's primary instrument, and it is important to become intimately acquainted with this instrument. A thorough understanding of the body makes many musical and technical challenges easier to overcome. Hyytinen also provides comprehensive advice on preparing for a performance and on overcoming stage fright. For instance, understanding the physiology of stress and performance-related nerves helps us better to understand nervousness as a natural state. By employing a range of physical and mental exercises, we learn to control nervous reactions and turn them into something that, rather than hindering, can in fact help and improve our performances. In addition to presenting a wealth of factual information and physical exercises, the book contains many informative illustrations, playing exercises, and an etude exploring different aspects of French horn technique. Through the presentation of information, exercises and examples, Playing from the Core brings students to a realisation that everyone can improve on the technical and musical challenges they face. Tommi Hyytinen is an experienced professional musician and teacher, and he instructs musicians in the holistic use of the body. The exercises presented in the book form part of his own daily practice routine and teaching material. Tommi thus manages to explain and show us the benefit of both body and mental exercises in preparation for musical performance. He shares all his wisdom so generously that I have no doubt that all performing artists, especially brass and wind players as well as singers will profit enormously from reading it.

Kai Nieminen's music has been described as often constructed according to a narrative logic, as fantasy journeys in imaginary or dream-like worlds. Most of his works have an extra-musical stimulus, alluded to in their titles. They are not, however, really programmatic music, being constructed according to their own musical laws. The titles do nevertheless reflect the original stimuls and provide something of a guideline to the listening experience. The initial inspiration may be in literature or art, or equally well in an urban streetscape or nature. Arioso for solo horn is dedicated to the memory of Holger Fransman, the now-late grand old man of Finnish horn circles. The work can be performed also with four horns.
