Summary
'No musician or music lover should be without it。' BBC Music Magazine
Robert Schumann was far ahead of his time: his music anticipated a multitude of trends that would spread in the 150 years after his death， and almost every major composer who followed him acknowledged his influence。 He was also revolutionary in his attitude to young people; in 1848 he wrote his famous Advice to Young Musicians， a book that is still deeply relevant today。 In this volume， celebrated cellist Steven Isserlis has taken Schumann's words of wisdom and set them in a modern context with his own extensive commentary。 By turns practical， humorous and profound， this book is a must for aspiring musicians and music-lovers of all ages。

Lovely little book detailing a modern take on Schumann's advice for young musicians （the original was aimed a pianists）。 A little difficult to follow all of the advice but a valuable book nevertheless。 Lovely little book detailing a modern take on Schumann's advice for young musicians （the original was aimed a pianists）。 A little difficult to follow all of the advice but a valuable book nevertheless。 。。。more

Wonderful little book。 Succinct and to the point， wisdom to be reminded of daily。 Schumann's advice here is more of a sounding board for Isserlis's own advice， but what great advice it is！ And some of Schumann's recommendations are still very timely and relevant。 Highly recommended for all musicians， not just young ones。 As an educator， I will certainly be giving this one away at every opportunity。 Wonderful little book。 Succinct and to the point， wisdom to be reminded of daily。 Schumann's advice here is more of a sounding board for Isserlis's own advice， but what great advice it is！ And some of Schumann's recommendations are still very timely and relevant。 Highly recommended for all musicians， not just young ones。 As an educator， I will certainly be giving this one away at every opportunity。 。。。more

Quick read。 Had a few interesting tips but I'm not sure if most young music students would appreciate or pick up on his pointers。 Quick read。 Had a few interesting tips but I'm not sure if most young music students would appreciate or pick up on his pointers。 。。。more

Un libro che vale la pena leggere per tutti i musicisti。

Very little Schumann in this book。 Mostly full of annotations and additions from the cellist/author with the exact sort of humor you can expect from a cellist。

Common sense does not make common practice。 Don't give up hope and keep playing， that's the motto here。 Common sense does not make common practice。 Don't give up hope and keep playing， that's the motto here。 。。。more
