The chapters are in prose format and highlight different aspects of each musician's career, focusing on musicianship and pedagogy in ways that are applicable to all musicians. The interviews contain topics such as creating musical interpretations and shaping phrases, the relationship of vocal to instrumental music, taking orchestral auditions and being a good ensemble player/colleague. The subjects describe their pedagogy and their thoughts on breathing and support on wind instruments, developing finger technique and creating a useful warm-up routine. The oboists discuss their ideals in reedmaking, articulation and vibrato. They also share stories from their life and careers.
