I would like to add Sound in Motion by David McGill to that list as well. It completely changed how I approach and intellectualize musicianship, and is something worth reading even if you decide to not adopt the Tabuteau method.

This is a great book thats spends most of the time talking about phrasing. Keith Buncke is from Curtis, as is David McGill - the previous CSO principal and author of this book. he wrote about his experiences based on the teachings of Marcel Tabuteau - one of the greatest oboists, along with his studying under Sol Schoenbach. I bet there is some definite correlation in playing between Buncke and McGill.

One thing I agree with McGill on is that discussing phrasing in great detail is very difficult to put into words - hence why it took a long time for him to complete this book. Definitely worth the read!
