Description

"Does an opera producer do anything besides tell the singers where to stand? Can a single note be played more or less beautifully on the piano? Is film art? And why have people started listening to Burt Bacharach again? In these essays, all originally published in The New York Review of Books, five of our most accomplished contemporary critics and artists explore questions of technique and interpretation in the performing arts."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

I AM SPEAKING here under the rubric "Technique and Interpretation in the Performing Arts," and if there were ever a title dreamed up to strike me dumb, this one verges on inspiration.
