Inspired by the verse of the German romantic poets, Franz Schubert achieved glittering fame as a creator of the 19th-eentury lied long before public recognition of his symphonies assured his place in music. "Schubertiads" with baritone Johann Michael Vogl were the rage of Viennese drawing rooms ca. 1817 and, by 1825, these concert parties in the homes of affluent merchants and civil servants were more popular than ever. In 10 years, Schubert composed over 600 lieder, whose charming melodies, harmonic invention, and depth of emotion rank them at the top of the form. This handsome reading and playing edition offers 59 favorite Schubert songs-settings of the verse of 30 lyric poets, including Schiller, Mayrhofer, Schober and Wilhelm Mtiller-from the standard Breitkopf & Hartel complete-score edition of 1884-97. Here are authoritative full scores, complete with modern literal prose translations of the poems-all handsomely set with wide margins and sturdy binding in one conv enient, affordable volume.

Composer, pianist, and conductor, Serge Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) represented the last of Russia's great Romanticists. The earlier influences of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and other Russian composers ultimately contributed to Rachmaninoff's development of a distinctive style, noted for its lyricism and orchestral color. His great choral symphony, The Bells, was written in 1913 and reputed to be among the composer's favorites of all his works. Scored for a large orchestra, solo vocalists, and chorus, the work is loosely based on the brilliant poem by Edgar Allan Poe. Its addition of material from the Russian translation permits Rachmaninoff to develop the themes in a more intense, dark idiom. Indeed, The Bells exhibits an emotional intensity unsur-passed in the composer's later works. Its long, brooding finale contrasts with the liveliness of the preceding movements, and the orchestration reflects the poem's striking symbolism: silver bells for birth, golden bells for marriage, brass bells for fear, and

This first comprehensive publication on the influential contemporary artist focuses on the experimental nature of Andrea Zittel’s signature objects, inhabitable sculptures, and other projects. In her work as an artist, Zittel investigates domestic and urban life in Western societies. Exploring the various aspects of living, the artist designs her own household settings to serve as a test case for her experimental living structures. Her work has provoked debates about the changed meaning of domestic and collective space and the possibilities for new adaptations to urban conditions today. Richly illustrated, Andrea Zittel: Critical Space includes nearly two hundred reproductions of Zittel’s works of art, many of which are published here for the first time. The book includes over one hundred sculptures and drawings, documentation of early work, and recent site-specific work in the Mojave Desert of California. With essays that touch upon urbanism, architecture, design and consumer culture, this catalog

Founded in 1850 to collect, edit and publish all the known works of J. s. Bach,the renowned Bach-Gesellschaft devoted fifty years to its monumental task and produced the most accurate editions of Bach's music. At a much lower cost than the fantastically expensive original publication, this volume reproduces in full vocal and instrumental score eleven cantatas from the reliable Bach-Gesellschaft volumes. Chosen on the basis of frequency of performance, teaching value, and sheer greatness of music, these eleven cantatas are: "Christ lag in Todesbanden," No.4; "Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen," No. 12; "Ich hatte viel Bekiimmerniss," No. 21; "Jauchzet Gott in alien Landen," No. 51; "Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen," No. 56; "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland," No. 61; "Jesu, der du meine Seele," No. 78; "Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott," No. 80; "Ich habe genug," No. 82;"Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit," No. 106; and "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme," No. 140.

Die Entfuehrung aus dem Serail--the Abduction from the Seraglio-- was one of Mozart's first operatic hits, and received performances all over Europe, even if the emperor did think it contained too many notes. Too many tenors is closer to the mark (the male roles include two tenors, one bass, and one character who only speaks), but this singspiel is a bright and bubbly work, endearing in its comic scenes and impressive in its serious moments. This score is one of Dover's reprints of other publishers. That means that it's not the most up-to-date edition available, that the words appear in German only, and that it's not as suitable for singers to use as a plain piano- vocal score would be. But this is a reasonably priced version that gives the student or enthusiast the opportunity to check out just how Mozart achieved that great "Turkish" instrumental color.

Hieronymus Bosch was painting terrifying yet strangely likable monsters, often with a touch of humour, long before computer games were invented. His works are assertive statements about the mental illness that befalls any man who abandons the teachings of Christ. With a life that spanned 1450 to 1516, Bosch was born at the height of the Renaissance and witnessed its religious wars. Medieval traditions and values were crumbling, paving the way to thrust man into a new universe where faith had lost its power and much of its magic. Bosch set out to warn doubters of the perils awaiting all and any who lost their faith in God. His favorite allegories were hell, heaven and lust. He held that everyone had to choose between one of two options: either heaven or hell. Bosch brilliantly exploited the symbolism of a wide range of fruits and plants to lend sexual overtones to his themes, which author Virginia Pitts Rembert meticulously deciphers to provide readers with new insight into this fascinating artist and his work

Tim Rudman's first book on lith printing, The Master Photographer's Lith Printing Course, is recognized as the definitive work on the subject, exploring the process's ability to produce strongly graphic or exquisitely delicate prints that respond beautifully to toning. Since it was first published, there have been significant developments in both the materials and techniques for traditional lith printing, as well as the introduction of digital methods either to simulate the process or to further expand its creative potential. This book includes work by the world's leading practitioners, showing what can be achieved by adopting different approaches to lith printing, both traditional and digital, as well as explaining how the various effects have been achieved. Tim Rudman, a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, is also the author of The Photographer's Lith Printing Course and The Photographer's Toning Book.

Beethoven's symphonies are among his greatest works--in the opinion of many, the greatest orchestral compositions in the history of music. Perfect in their fusion of emotion and form, filled with drama and great beauty, they are among the best-known and best-loved works in all classical music. Now Dover makes available the full orchestral scores for all nine symphonies in three consecutive volumes.

Schumann's chamber music embraces three trios, four quartets, and a piano quintet that have, on the whole, received enthusiastic acclaim. The trios have passages and whole movements of great spirit that are characteristic of the composer's best work. The quartets exhibit an "essential beauty" that "has engraved itself deep in the minds of all chamber music lovers" (Cobbetl's Cyclopedic Survey of Chamber Music). And the piano quintet, a pioneering work in this form, is still considered one of the finest such pieces ever written. All lovers of chamber music and of romantic music will find much to enjoy in this superb collection. Schumann enthusiasts, whose numbers are legion, have a special reason to be pleased: "Schumann's chamber music of 1842 is in many ways among the most perfect of all the products of his genius; the purest and most powerful in its beauty, the strongest in its form, best balanced in its substance, and best adapted in its technical means and processes to the expression of the composer's

1965-1969: A Break from the Past, a Nod to the Future. The late 1960s, when a radical change took place in the fields of architecture and design, are the focus of this volume. Old values such as functionality, elegance, and faithfulness to materials, which had been relevant for nearly half a century, lost their importance and made space for the ideas of pop culture and the sociocritical experiments of a new generation of architects and designers who no longer wanted to live within the styles of their fathers and grandfathers. Groups of architects and designers like Archizoom and Archigram questioned long-established status symbols, fashion, and consumption and created provocative alternative designs, which were reflected in Anti and Radical Design. Volume VI in the domus series features designs by Joe Colombo, Ettore Sottsass, Gae Aulenti, Olivier Mourgue, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Verner Panton, Kenzo Tange, Luigi Moretti, Oscar Niemeyer, and Gio Ponti, among many.

Shigeru Ban lives and works in Tokyo, where he teachesarchitecture at Keio University. The scope of his practice - he hashouses, museums, pavilions, and other public projects in progressin France, London, Beijing, Portugal, Brussels, and the UnitedStates - belies a relatively quiet early career in Tokyo. Followingstudies at the Southern California Institute of Architecture(SCI-ARC) and graduation from The Cooper Union in New York, heestablished his own firm in Toyko in 1985. During next decade, Banbuilt a following in Japan by designing dozens of unique smallhouses, exhibitions, and other projects using alternative,environmentally friendly materials: paper, wood, bamboo andprefabricated paper products. Following the 1995 earthquake inKobe, Japan, Ban responded by designing emergency temporary housinghe calls Paper Log Houses, made out of paper logs, waterproofsponge tape, and beer crates that could be assembled in a matter ofhours by volunteers and provided shelter for hundreds of displacedresidents.
