I came across this film clip of Meredith Willson explaining how "Trouble" from The Music Man works.
I first encountered this man when I read his memoir, And There I Stood with my Piccolo which I read (in one sitting) in the Boston Public Library when I was a teenager. I learned something about how shows and operas were put together when I realized that The Music Man had melodic material that threaded its way through every song. I have also come to understand that the “think method” can be a really valuable tool (when combined with actual practice).
What a brilliant man. This is the first time I have seen a film of him in action, and I am so excited to share this experience!
