Book 1 of this two-volume set features Sir Donald Francis Tovey's analyses of 24 preludes and fugues, including suggestions for performance. In addition to commentaries by Tovey, a lauded Bach scholar and world-famous musicologist, the pieces are complemented by fingerings devised by Harold Samuel, a major Bach interpreter.

5 LEADERSHIP TEAM ASSESSMENT

U N I T 2 | YO U R T E A M

Key TakeawayThese assessments

and the subsequent

discussion of them

should give you a

good idea about your

starting point, both

as a program and as

its leadership team.

As you process all of

the answers, focus on

coming to a consensus

on where you are

currently and where

you would like to be

when the process is

done. In other words,

you are striving for

a common point of

origination and a

destination. When

these two things

have been discussed

fully, you will be well

on your way toward

being a more effective

leadership team.

Prior to preparing any future plan, it is important to know your starting point so you can measure your growth. As a part of this process, it’s also important to note what is working really well and needs to be left alone.

Take some time to consider the questions and answer them thoroughly and honestly. This is not a gripe session, just a chance to know your group’s strengths and weaknesses. Try and set aside situations involving individuals and focus on the group as a whole.

To read and complete this section of the course will take some time (approximately 30–45 minutes) so be sure you have the time to complete it before starting.

QUESTIONSRate the following statement: Our leadership team is cohesive and active.

Études I–IVfor Solo ViolinBy Tom CoultThis set of inventive and hugely contrasting études for solo violin were written between 2010 and 2014, the last two as commissions from the London Sinfonietta. The final piece in this eight-minute collection is the most unusual: serene and meditative, it utilizes a novel technique by which the player sustains hushed three-note chords.
