From a first-year teacher whose instruments were stolen before entering his building, to a teacher who received hate mail before her first day, to a teacher whose sensitivity, flexibility and insight gained her the respect of her ensemble in only weeks, this collection of true stories from first-year teachers is a delightful description of their real world. In addition, each chapter includes discussion questions for pre-service and young teachers as they prepare for their teaching future. ...extremely valuable for those just beginning their careers, as well as veterans in the field. ... Sharing experiences, stories, problems and solutions make us all better teachers. This book does a tremendous job identifying the do's and don'ts. - Anthony J. Maiello, Professor of Music, Director of Instrumental Studies, George Mason University Reading, reflecting and discussing these real stories will provide future music teachers with a clear-sighted view of the challenges, expectations, and successes of novice teachers. ...an important book for students and their teachers who value the preparation of the whole music teacher. - Dr. Mark Fonder, Professor, Music Education Department, Conductor, Ithaca College Concert Band Your book will provide valuable information and insights into the 'first years' of teaching and will be a valuable resource for those entering the profession. The 'Questions for Discussion' at the end of each chapter are excellent. Bravo. - Frank L.

Sixteen essays by international scholars celebrate the 250th anniversary of Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762), star pupil of Corelli and composer, performer and teacher in Paris, London and Dublin, who for many years was ranked as the equal of Handel.
His compositions moved far beyond Corelli's model (to include theatre music, sonatas for cello and keyboard works) and later in his life he supported his aesthetic style with treatises on violin and guitar playing, good taste, accompaniment and composition. He published all his output in the most elegant style via engravers and music sellers in Paris, Amsterdam and London, and constantly revised and rewrote earlier works in new and often expanded formats. This legacy is analysed and placed in context within the various national styles current in Europe, and the enormous influence of his treatise The Art of Playing on the Violin is positioned in a continuum which extends to Ivan Galamian.
Outside music these studies examine the effect of Freemasonry on Geminiani's career, and his frequent recourse to law to defend his rights. On his own admission, Geminiani preferred dealing in fine art to playing the violin -- a claim always derided by earlier writers, but in fact easily defended by newly available evidence of his highly successful sales.
The reception of Geminiani's music is also re-assessed and his apparent decline in public favour is explained; many new sources contradict the accepted and dismissive opinions of Charles Burney and John Hawkins, and the supportive enthusiasm of his main British advocate, Charles Avison, is given its rightful position. Questions of present-day performance values are also contrasted with Geminiani's philosophy, and many leads presented for the future investigation of this enigmatic but individual genius.
