If everybody were to play first violin, we could not have an orchestra. Therefore respect each musician in his own place. There is no end to learning. Originally published in1850, Advice to Young Musicians: Musical Rules for Home and in Life offered composer Robert Schumannâs (1810â56) combination of practical advice and poetic words of wisdom for young people beginning their musical education. Presented in aphorisms and short paragraphs, the bookâs insights remain as valuable today as when it was written. Recognizing the continued resonance of Schumannâs words, world-renowned cellist Steven Isserlis, himself a writer of childrenâs books and many articles for young musicians, set out to rescue the work from history. Here, in this beautiful gift edition, he revisits Schumannâs work and contributes his own contemporary counsel for musicians and music lovers. For this edition, Isserlis retranslated Schumannâs text and arranged it into four thematic sections: âOn being a musician,â âPlaying,â âPracticing,â and âComposing.â Each page is decoratively designed, and accompanying Schumannâs original quotation are Isserlisâs thoughtful and often humorous glosses. The book concludes with Isserlisâs own reflections on his life as a musician and performer: âMy Own Bits of Advice (For What Theyâre Worth).â The result is a unique and thought-provoking book that will be treasured by aspiring musicians of any age.
