Radical Hermeneutics by John D Caputo

Aims to forge a collaboration between hermeneutics and deconstruction.

. . This book will be informative, interesting, and beneficial for anyone who is involved with the performance of music in the United States, whether in the field or in academe.

-- Lois Kuyper-Rushing * Louisiana State University *

In this volume, Ms. Storch cleverly captures the essence of Marcel Tabuteau, one of the finest musicians and greatest teachers of his era and whose unique perspective profoundly influenced classical music for generations to follow. The stories she tells about this remarkable man are, at once, poignant, witty and right on the mark.

-- John Minsker

Everyone always said that a book ought to be written about that unique and extraordinary man, Marcel Tabuteau. Now, at last, the book has arrived.

-- Louis Rosenblatt

[Storch's] personal descriptions of what it was like to study with this mercurial genius are absolutely fascinating; they provide indispensable glimpses for this generation of oboe students, not to mention future ones.

-- Dan Stolper * Interlochen Centre for the Arts *

Laila Storch's biography of Marcel Tabuteau provides a detailed and intimate portrait of the life and artistry of the man widely considered to be the father of the American school of oboe playing.

* The Double Reed, Vol. 33, No. 2, Summer 2010 *

. . . Storch's intriguing book will appeal to a broad audience, not just oboists. Anyone interested in music will find Tabuteau's philosophies and Storch's research beneficial and applicable.

* Choice, January 2009 *

Laila Storch . . . is generous in her admiration of [Marcel Tabuteau's] compelling artistry. She has produced a monumental tribute to an extraordinary musician whose influence remains alive in each generation of American oboists.

-- Anthony McColl * Double Reed News, 87 Summer 2009 *

[This biography is] movingly personal . . . . may prove to be one of the most accomplished and important musical biographies of the 21st century.

-- Christopher Brodersen * Fanfare, 8/1/10 *

Ms. Storch's style is descriptive, informative, and engaging—a nice blend between the historical and the personal. This volume gets my vote as the winning historical profile of one of the most influential and revered performers and pedagogues of our time—Marcel Tabuteau. A must for every serious musician's library.

-- Linda Strommen * Indiana University *
