Chopin's piano works, renowned for their technical brilliance, also invariably project the composer's mercurial moods. Their complex emotional content often lies close to the surface: a sparkling and graceful passage may be tinged with melancholy, a dark moment may be crowned with a note of triumph. This superb collection of fifteen of Chopin's works for piano reflects these compelling qualities in some of the greatest piano compositions of the Romantic period. Foremost among them is perhaps the magnificent Fantasy in F Minor, Op. 49. Here,too, are the often-performed Barcarolle, Op. 60, and Berceuse, Op. 57; the Allegro de Concert, Op. 46, and the Andante spianato, Op. 22; and ten other works.

Connoisseurs of rag are aware that original, creative syncopation does not stop with Joplin. The ragtime revival is only beginning to rediscover forgotten rags composed by little-known pianists and arrangers (including many women) and printed by small specialized local music publishers. The great obstacle to further rag renown is of course the rarity of the original sheet music; this collection brings together some of the most geographically and stylistically diverse quality rags written over the entire two decades of the ragtime era. Ragtime Rediscoveries presents the original sheet music (including covers) of 64 unfamiliar rags of superior musical excellence as well as historical interest. Trebor Jay Tichenor, well-known ragtimer, composer, collector and editor (see Ragtime Rarities, also from Dover) has located the scattered and sometimes unique copies of sheet music, and discussed their musical quality and relevance to ragtime history in his introducton. The rags here range from "The Pri

Every single thing that has been made by man or woman has been designed. We are quick to recognise the designer's imprint in the cut of a couture dress, in the outline of a landmark building or in the shape of the latest motor car. Less visible are those designers who shape and fill our daily lives with everything from the paperclip to the personal stereo, the flatpack shelving unit to the supermarket label. In fact, design is all around us, but we very rarely notice it. In this book, Terence Conran makes us open our eyes and address the ways in which we encounter and relate to design on a daily basis. A fascinating text full of information and anecdote, along with stimulating photography, makes this book an indispensable reference book for all those interested in the subject. 作者简介： Terence Conran is one of the world's leading designers, retaliers and restaurateurs.in his prolific career he has worked on projects as varied as the interior of Gatwick Airport's North Termianl,the design of t

Eyeglasses have been transformed from medical necessity to fashion accessory. This revolution has come about through embracing the design culture of the fashion industry. Why shouldn't design sensibilities also be applied to hearing aids, prosthetic limbs, and communication aids? In return, disability can provoke radical new directions in mainstream design. Charles and Ray Eames's iconic furniture was inspired by a molded plywood leg splint that they designed for injured and disabled servicemen. Designers today could be similarly inspired by disability. In Design Meets Disability, Graham Pullin shows us how design and disability can inspire each other. In the Eameses' work there was a healthy tension between cut-to-the-chase problem solving and more playful explorations. Pullin offers examples of how design can meet disability today. Why, he asks, shouldn't hearing aids be as fashionable as eyewear? What new forms of braille signage might proliferate if designers kept both sighted and visually impaired peopl

Mahler's third and fourth symphonies mark a turning point in his development as a composer. Symphony No. 3 （1896） predominantly follows the musical style of the earlier two symphonies, which tended to emphasize a single melodic line with subordinate harmonies. Symphony No. 4 （1900） embodies the more contrapuntal style that characterizes his later symphonic works. At the same time, these works bring Mahler to the end of his "Wunderhorn years," when his inspiration derived strongly from Des Knaben Wunderhorn （The Youth's Magic Horn）, an early 19th-century collection of folklike poetry that celebrated themes of nature. The Third Symphony, scored for a massive orchestra, was conceived as a vast nature cycle in six movements. These include the great opening march, the moving setting for alto of Nietzsche's "O Mensch！ Gib Acht！" and the scintillating bell song for women's and boys' choirs "Es sungen drei Engel." The Fourth Symphony, more restrained in expression yet filled with affecting melody,

Unfortunately, his tragic death a scant two months later prevented Mozart from ever realizing the full accuracy of this observation made a few performances after the cool reception given The Magic Flute at its Viennese premiere. In May 1791, Mozart's friend Emanuel Schikaneder commissioned The Magic Flute.In keeping with the popular level of his theater, Schikaneder himself supplied Mozart with the libretto about the rescue of a good fairy's daughter from a wicked magician by a hero armed with a magic flute. After a good deal of the music was written, composer and librettist, both Freemasons, grafting Masonic ideals onto the plot, transformed a simple fairy tale into a moralistic allegory, and a Singspiel into one of the world's greatest operas. This handsome, moderately priced volume, reprinted directly from an authoritative edition, will enable musicians, music students and opera lovers to gain a fuller appreciation of Mozart's mastery of operatic language, orchestral color and dramatic expression.

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.

Fifty-six international designers and architects celebrate the Hogan labels most recent collections. There is an obvious connection between the different forms of creative expression: this is the core philosophy Hogan, expressed in the Future Roots project in which 56 internationally famous designers and architects are captured in Ornella Sancassanis photographs wearing the most recent collections designed by the fashion label. The black-and-white photographs interpret the fashion houses savoir-faire; the architects and designers are captured in their professional workplaces or with those objects that in a concise way best express their Weltanschauung. Future Roots is therefore a story in pictures in which the different aspects of planning in design, architecture, fashion and photography are brought to the fore, showing little distinction between sectors.

Some of Mozart's most enduring and popular music was originally composed for relatively minor occasions--garden parties, weddings, birthdays, home concerts for his friends and the like. Among these compositions were the multi-movement instrumental pieces he called "serenades." Written in the 1770s and 1780s, they include such favorite compositions as Eine kleine Nachtmusik, the Serenata Notturna, A Musical Joke, the "Haffner" Serenade and the "Posthorn" Serenade. This two-volume set contains all of Mozart's notturnns as well as the complete serenades.
