Craig Wright's Yale course Listening to Music turns this session over to guest musicians ahead of a student assignment to review an upcoming concert. Wright opens by explaining what makes a critical concert review useful, covering structure and the kind of listening it demands. Bradley Naylor, one of the Saybrook Orchestra's conductors, then describes what rehearsing and leading an orchestra actually involves. Principal violist Katie Dryden demonstrates some of the trickiest viola passages from the concert program, and principal flutist Elana Kagan performs an excerpt from the finale of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, the piece closing the concert. The lecture mixes classroom instruction with live demonstration, giving students both the critical framework for writing about a performance and a preview of the music and musicianship they will hear. Recorded at Yale in Fall 2008 as part of the MUSI 112 course.
