The Raschèr Reader

The Raschr Reader is a compendium of writings by the classical saxophone pioneer, Sigurd M. Raschr. Compiled and edited by Dr. Lee Patrick, the book contains writings by Raschr spanning seven decades. The Raschr Reader presents topics such as saxophone pedagogy, the history of instruments, interpretation, teaching, and the essence of music. Articles from various music publications such as The Instrumentalist, Woodwind World, Etude Magazine, and The Saxophone Symposium are included. Also contained in the Reader are letters and typescripts from Raschrs private collection which are published here for the first time. This is a truly fascinating compilation of writings not limited to the saxophone and music, but also including ideas on education, farming and nuclear energy, among other topics. In addition, there are press materials and articles written about Raschr by other writers. The Reader also contains many photos, some published for the first time. - Publisher.
