by Amin Kashanchi Why the flute needs so much maintenance and repair? A pianist needs a piano technician only when the piano gets out of tune. A guitarist meets with a technician only to fix a broken guitar. Most of the brass instrument players know how to fix the problems of their instruments by themselves.But for the woodwinds, and…
di Onorio Zaralli E’ una questione delicata, ma troppo fondamentale per non essere affrontata.Partiamo da una dichiarazione di Arturo Toscanini: a chi gli chiese, un giorno, “Maestro, qual è il suo stile?”, Toscanini rispose “Il mio stile è quello degli autori che dirigo: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven”.

What makes the difference between what we call a “well phrased” performance versus the opposite?
