''The Musicians Guide To Polyrhythms'' is a study guide by American author, drummer and percussionist Peter Magadini. ''Musicians Guide to Polyrhythms Vol. I'' was written in 1967 and published in 1968. ''Musicians Guide to Polyrhythms Vol. II'' was written in 1970 and published in 1971〔("Library of Congress - Catalog of Copyright Entries. Third Series: 1971: Title Index" ). ''Library of Congress''〕 and was (at the time) a continuation of Vol. l. The first publisher (Try Publishing, Hollywood, Ca.) published both volumes separately. These volumes have since been combined into one single volume called ''Polyrhythms: The Musicians Guide'' and is now published by Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation. Both books were written after Peter had studied with North Indian Tabla Drum Master, Mahapurush Misra,〔Miller, Mark. June 1, 1978. "Pete Magadini" ''Downbeat Magazine''. p.33.〕 who was teaching and playing with Usted Ali Akbar Khan in a summer program of North Indian Classical Music at the University of California, Berkeley campus in 1966. Realizing the need for a pedagogical system of study for musicians using the “western” system of notation; Magadini re-configured the concepts and coined the phrase “time ratio’s”, which describes the mathematical ratios of polymeters as they relate to each other. Magadini also introduced in these volumes a new way to write “Polyrhythmic Time Signatures”. Both volumes deal with polymeters and polyrhythms, and are presented, in a step-by-step manner, through exercises and etudes that progress from easy to difficult. ==Critical reception== Gunther Schuller of the New England Conservatory called ''Musicians Guide to Polyrhythms'' "... a very important contribution". In 1993, ''Modern Drummer Magazine'' ranked ''Polyrhythms The Musicians Guide'' as #6 in its survey of "the 25 Greatest Drum books".〔Miller, William F. August. 1993. "The 25 Best Drum Books". ''Modern Drummer Magazine''.〕〔("Musicians Guide to Polyrhythms, voted 6th on Modern Drummer Magazine's list of the 25 greatest drum books." ). ''Vic Firth''〕 A review in the Percussion Arts Society's ''Percussion Notes'' lauded the book's organization and the "articulate and easily understood" explanations of the various polyrhythms. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Musicians Guide to Polyrhythms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
