perceptive book.. The book consists of seven short essays, related to aspects of performance ... and is written not only with considerable insight and originality, but also with engaging enthusiasm. * Angus Watson, British Journal of Music *
I suspect there is something for everyone in these thoughtfully assembled musings ... like all expert performers, Dunsby draws upon a lifetime of preparation (both thoughts and deeds) in executing an immensely difficult but seemingly effortless performative task ... a brilliant and exciting performance ... music lovers, professionals and academic musicians alike - will be enriched and their thoughts (and deeds?) provoked in the best possible sense ... the abundant ideas and sheer elegance of thought in this book will be a source of inspiration. * John Rink, Music and Letters, Vol. 77, No. 2, May '96 *
