Published from 1883 to 1957, The Etude Music Magazine read like a diary of the emerging American musical community. During this period, it featured a series of "Master-Lessons" by noted piano virtuosi. Originally intended to provide world-class teaching to a public that otherwise could not afford such lessons, the series became an invaluable record of professional performance practice, offering a rare and unique glimpse of piano teaching in the first decades of the century. Among the chapters in this collection are master-lessons on Paderewski's Minuet in G, Chopin's Military Polonaise, Grieg's Norwegian Bridal Procession, Mendelssohn's Scherzo, and Beethoven's Pathdtique Sonata. Authors include such piano masters as Wilhelm Bachaus, Percy Grainger, Edwin Hughes, and Mark Hambourg. This unique collection, carefully compiled in a format that preserves its original layout and style, is indispensable to piano teachers and students, and of the greatest interest to the growing number of piano literatur

One of the earliest of Verdi's operas remaining in the repertory, Rigoletto was a success from its first production in 1851 in Venice. Based on Victor Hugo's Le Roi s'amuse, the libretto appealed to Verdi immensely: in later years, he claimed it was the best that had ever come his way. In the story of the tragic jester and his daughter, Verdi found a subject magnificently suited to his talents. Grove's Dictionary notes: "The music is like a flood, carrying all before it. It is remarkable for bold characterization, for superbly effective dramatic strokes and for variety of eolour and atmosphere." Those qualities have kept the work in the forefront of the operatic repertoire for more than a century. This Dover volume, reproduced from the standard edition, offers a golden opportunity to legions of opera lovers to have the complete score of this masterpiece in an attractive, inexpensive format. Unabridged Dover (1992) republication of the Italian edition published in Milan in 1914. Lists of characters and ins
Jean Despres (1889-1980) was an Art Deco designer who capturedthe streamlined, modern aesthetic of the age of the machine andtransformed it into objects of great beauty. As a young man,Despres became acquainted with avant-garde artists in Paris,including Modigliani, de Chirico, and Braque, and, after theoutbreak of war in 1914, he worked on the industrial design ofairplanes.

Gehry and Norman Foster. ? A unique gift for the wine connoisseur and design devotee alike ? A compelling look at all the design elements that make up the world's most beautiful wineries
Stephen Foster's music "is part of every American's culture," wrote composer Virgil Thomson, and certainly this is true, for few American composers have created songs as lastingly popular as "Beautiful Dreamer," "Oh! Susanna," "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair," "Swanee River" (properly "Old Folks at Home"), "Camptown Races" and "My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night." The fact remains, however, that Foster's melodies have suffered continually at the hands of revisers and arrangers, so that often what we hear today is only a corrupt version of what Foster actually composed. This book corrects that situation by assembling forty songs as Foster originally wrote them. Many have been reproduced from original first-edition sheets, others from early editions, others from facsimiles of first editions. All are re-produced with their covers, to help capture the flavor of the period. Along with the old favorites listed above you will find "The Glendy Burk," "Ah May the Red Rose Live Alway! Massa's in de Cold Ground,
