He employs a variety of everyday activities and motions (brushing the dog, Tinkerbelle, the \"door knob\") to describe the physical aspects of the role. He advocates a comprehensive, detailed approach to score study, addressing major works bar-by-bar in terms of both musical analysis and conducting method. Finally, Gibson explores the various roles a conductor plays, as a teacher, a scholar and a member of the musical community. His writing is highly focused, with an occasionally tongue-in-cheek, discussing everything from motivic development in Brahms to how to hold a knife and fork in public. In short, \u003cem\u003eThe Beat Stops Here\u003c\/em\u003e is a compendium of style and substance in the real world of today's conductor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890223890583,"sku":"9780190605872","price":13647.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190605872.webp?v=1781179162","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-beat-stops-here-lessons-on-and-off-the-podium-for-todays-conductor-9780190605872","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
