Drawing on a breadth of experience in the professional field, Stephen L. Rosenhaus addresses a variety of important topics, including: CopyrightTypes of income streamsPerforming rights organizationsPromoting and presenting musicMusic publishingContracts for composersBasics of finances “ The Concert Composer's Business Handbook fills an important gap in music literature. While countless books explore compositional craft, few address the practical realities of sustaining a career.
