Inscribed by author on half title page: "To Joan Thanks so much for your contribution to "PASSION" music, spirit and soul! With deep appreciation Barry Green 5/4/03 S.F. CA". With the author's personal business card laid in. In his follow-up book to The Inner Game of Music, Green turns his expert hand to the artistic qualities that make an extraordinary musician. He culls advice from dozens of interviews with legends including Joshua Bell, Dave Brubeck, Jeffrey Kahane, Bobby McFerrin, Christopher Parkening, Doc Severinsen, Frederica von Stade, the Harlem Boys Choir, and the Turtle Island String Quartet. Green organizes the ineffable virtuoso quality that the greats possess into ten characteristics, such as confidence, passion, discipline, creativity, and relaxed concentration, and discusses specific ways in which all musicians, composers, and conductors can take their skills to higher levels.
