Dieses Buch bietet alles, was man sich an Hintergrundwissen nur wünschen kann, um sich begreiflich zu machen, was Töne, Intervalle und Musik sind. Es zeigt sowohl Grafiken zur Visualisierung von Intervallen als auch die davon abgeleiteten Eselsbrücken, zum Heraushören von den schwierigen Tonsprüngen und Akkordfolgen. Auch der korrekten Sprache zur Musiknotierung ist genügend Raum gegeben.
Man findet hier auch eine ausgetüftelte Methodik darüber, wie man bei einer Transskription vorzugehen hat, so gibt es natürlich auch genügend Anhaltspunkte zur rhythmisschen Notierung. Diese Technik der Transskription wird im Laufe des Buches so sicher antrainiert, dass man schnell eine Skizze vor Augen hat, die man beim 2ten Hinhören bloß noch zu ergänzen braucht.
Man mag sich fragen, was man mit einem Buch soll, wenn es doch wunderbare Trainingssoftware fürs Gehörtrainig gibt. Nun dieses Buch erklärt nebenbei, ...

"Hearing and Writing Music" is a marvelously comprehensive and concretely practical book for musicians. There is something in this book for every musician, regardless of experience level. The beginning musician could read it methodically chapter-by-chapter, absorbing the text and carefully doing each exercise, while the professional musician might zero in on specific topics to enrich his knowledge and skills. I was especially intrigued by the discussion of the intervals as they relate to the harmonic series. Mr. Gorow strikes a delicate balance between scientific and aesthetic points of view; he explores the mathematical basis of music, while never losing sight of the artistic purpose of it. Mr. Gorow's method of transcription, which is perhaps the heart and soul of the book (though by no means its only purpose) is full of insight and practical advice. I applaud and heartily recommend this important and valuable book. - Andrew Kinney, professional composer/orchestrator

I wish I had had this book when I was studying music formally. Now I'm using it just for pleasure, but I'm buying it for my nephew at Indiana U. -- he's looking to be a professional and I don't want him to waste his time the way I did.

This is THE book we have all been looking for! Mr. Gorow has the gift of being concise and direct (a rarity in musical text) in the terms and explanations of this work. Allowing the student immediate access to the material. Because of the need for this type of book and the way it has been presented I feel Mr. Gorow will be remembered as one of the forefathers of the next generation of great musicians. This book changed my musical life!
