Me, the amateur guitarist, getting as much advice as I could from Andrew about ways of being different with making music and techniques for making something sound original and fresh instead of using the same old chord transitions and key changes. I noticed that night that Andrew had a head full of creativity and seemed to look at music in a way that I had never seen before. That night, I saw a mind at work that looked beyond the surface of the music, a mind that saw past the rules and rhythms of simple guitar playing and shared ideas that completely changed the way something sounded. I thought then, that Andrew needed to share these ideas with everyone, so it’s only right that he has made this book. This is his world of creativity laid out in a simple accessible form, aimed at musicians of all levels. Keep it close while you create, and I promise that you will never be short of that next great idea ever again.-Sam Ezra84 direct and practical prompts and strategies to inspire innovative music making.

Beethoven wrote 32 sonatas for piano. The final installment, Volume 4, edited by Stewart Gordon, contains Sonatas 25-32, written between 1809 and 1822 and published shortly thereafter. Of the eight sonatas in this volume, autographs exist in whole or in part for all but Op. 106, missing since World War II. This edition is based on the existing autographs and the first editions. Dr. Gordon discusses a variety of topics including Beethoven's life; the pianos of his time and their limitations; Beethoven's use of articulation, ornamentation, tempi; and the age-old challenge of attempting to determine the definitive interpretation of Beethoven's music. Valuable performance recommendations, helpful fingering suggestions and ornament realizations are offered in this comprehensive critical body of Beethoven's sonatas. Where performance options are open to interpretation, other editors' conclusions are noted, enabling students and teachers to make informed performance decisions. Titles: * Op. 79 ("Sonatine") * Op. 81a * Op. 90 * Op. 101 * Op. 106 ("Hammer-Klavier") * Op. 109 * Op. 110 * Op. 111

The industry's longest-running publication for baseball analysts and fantasy leaguers, Ron Shandler's Baseball Forecaster, published annually since 1986, is the first book to approach prognostication by breaking performance down into its component parts. Rather than predicting batting average, for instance, this resource looks at the elements of skill that make up any given batter's ability to distinguish between balls and strikes, his propensity to make contact with the ball, and what happens when he makes contact—reverse engineering those skills back into batting average. The result is an unparalleled forecast of baseball abilities and trends for the upcoming season and beyond.
