Christoph Peter RESTS &REPETITION, IN MUSIC Their Significance and Use in Education & Teaching Music Christoph Peter (1927-82) was an inspiring, all-round musician. He lived for music, for teaching it and especially for exciting awareness amonst others of music's power of renewing the human being. Through teaching, composing, promoting and performing - and writing about - music, Peter's concern was to serve. He taught music at the Hanover Waldorf School for 22 years and was Director of Music at the Teacher's Seminary in Stuttgart. Art, including the art of music, as both subject and method in education, Peter maintains, is essential to develop balanced personalities who can fully enter the art of living. Rests and Repetition contains an exact yet sensitive study of these musical phenomena. Many teachers, parents and students already appreciate this classic text on the power of music. The creative principles Peter reveals are applied more generally in education and life today, where specifically artistic and human values are under threat. "Children should learn the art of living. Everybody, albeit in humble measure, can accomlish something in the realm of art. Indeed, is not life itself an art?" (Christoph Peter). Peter's definitive study on The Language of Music in Mozart's "The Magic Flute" is also published by Anastasi Ltd.
