Lessons and Meditations on the Art of Conducting. Meredith Music Resource. Conducting Reference. Textbook (softcover). 184 pages. Published by Meredith Music (HL.317171).

ISBN 9781574630862. UPC: 884088201074. 7x10 inches. Frank L. Battisti.

This incredible book by one of the world's foremost authorities on conducting contains no conducting patterns, and no advice on how to conduct any piece. Instead, it focuses on the skills, knowledge and experiences needed to become and function as a conductor-teacher.

“This text is a 'must have' for all serious musicians. It captures the legacy and wisdom of one of the most important conductors of our time. This is what can happen when a focused and inquisitive mind meets up with a uniquely creative imagination.”

– Eugene Migliaro Corporon, Director of Wind Studies, College of Music – University of North Texas
