Evan Johnson

Practical, thought-provoking, and fun, this book is for chamber-music lovers. A close-up look at classical string quartets, it focuses on relationships: our interaction as players, our engagement with composers, and our exchange as teachers and students. 432 audio examples on a companion website clarify the text. Author Evan Johnson is an award-winning violinist, teacher, and writer about music. His acclaimed recording of the Biber "Mystery" Sonatas, in 1986, was one of the first to define a historically informed approach to this work.
