Structure and Style; first published in 1962 and expanded in 1979; fills the need for new ways of analysis that put 20th-century music in perspective. It spans forms in use before 1600 through forms and techniques in use today. Anthology of Musical Forms provides musical examples of forms treated in Structure and Style. Some examples are analyzed throughout. Most are left for the student to analyze. These books reflect Leon Steins impressive background as student; musician; and composer. Stein studied composition with Leo Sowerby; Frederick Stock (conductor of the Chicago Symphony) and orchestration with Eric DeLamarter; his assistant. He earned M. Mus and Ph.D degrees at DePaul University and was associated with its School of Music as director of the Graduate Division and chairman of the Department of Theory and Composition until his retirement in 1976. He has composed a wide variety of works; including compositions for orchestra; chamber combinations; two operas; and a violin concerto.

Great for inspiration. but not a soldering how-toBy Ellie ZWhats great about this book:The projects featured in this book are fresh. varied. and beautifully photographed. Inspiration abounds; the night I got the book I was so inspired by it that my mind felt like it was going to explode with possibilities and I ended up finally getting out of bed at 2:30am to jot down my ideas so I could get some sleep.In the back of the book. Sally shares her favorite resources for some of the more exotic materials she uses to create her pieces - this is valuable information. She also shares tips for creating her "look" which were also helpful. Do a search for her name online and heck out her website before buying the book to see if her aesthetic resonates with you.What you wont find in this book:While the author does give step-by-step instructions for reproducing the pieces featured in her book. this is NOT a how-to book. Her instructions are written with the assumption that the reader is an experienced crafter. specifically in the areas of stained glass and jewelry making and has had some experience with soldering (i.e. knows what flux is and how to use it. among other things). Although when reading the book the instructions seem thorough enough. I found significant gaps when I actually sat down and attempted to follow them.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Fuel for creativityBy LindaI want any art or craft book to encourage me to think beyond the designs within the book itself. This book succeeds admirably. Just thumbing through the (beautifully presented) photos inspired me to imagine other designs and applications. The authors instructions are good. but a beginner might have difficulty. Purchase a basic text on glass-cutting and soldering. and practice a bit. before you delve into these designs. However. those with some experience should have no problem executing most designs in the book. All in all. this is a beautiful book -- well worth its cost -- and one I will keep on my shelf.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Love this book.By rosaLove this book.
