How can musicians play with ease and avoid injury? They face many challenges: a competative environment, performance anxiety, demanding repertoire. Years of solitary practice, the hectic pace of rehearsals, and the demands of performances reinforce their physical and psychological strains. Playing (less) Hurt is a readable and comprehensive reference for all concerned: professional and amateur musicians, teachers and students, doctors and therapists. This book is essential for all musicians who want to play better and feel better.

Janet Horvath, associate principal cello of the Minnesota Orchestra is a soloist, writer, and award-winning advocate for injury prevention. Playing (less) Hurt results from her two decades of work and research in Performing Arts Medicine.
