Recenzje

Shadle's prose is clear and elegant, with delightful turns of phrase. He makes his points neatly, and often seasoned with a clever yet incisive wit. In addition, his musical analyses, while necessarily brief but never superficial, similarly use language in a way that both describes and evokes the sounds of the music itself. In a word, Shadle's writing sings. The notated musical examples are gratifyingly accessible as recorded audio clips on the book's companion Web site.
