About

91´«Ã½

"Priceman's distinctive palette and dashing lines make for an exhuberant introduction to the orchestra.The sense of visual musicality is enhanced by warm, changing background colors. Like the music itself, the musicians are far from static. The text has rhythm and punch, changing size and moving across the pages in swoops and swirls to reflect the flow of music. A true celebration of music and its creation."
