"It is of great importance," Bart6k wrote, "that anyone who is involved with musicshould be able to obtain [composers'] works in editions which interpret precisely the author's intentions, not of such kind that may have been arbitrarily modified or forged by some adapter." Thirty-six years after his death, in the centennial of his birth (1881), Bart6k's wish has finally been realized in his own work. This collection of early piano music is the second volume in the Bartk Archive Edition, the only edition of the great Hungarian composer to be based on corrections from his memorabilia or original editions in the New York Bart6k Archive. Comparison has also been made withHungarian editions published since 1951, which are based on holdings of the Budapest Bart6k Archivum. It is appropriate to continue the Bart6k Archive Edition with a second volume of piano music, for, as Grove's Dictionay notes: "The pianoforte was his most natural medium of expression It was the pianotorte that made Bart6k express his h

The complete van Gogh Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history. He lived an unhappy and difficult life during which his work received almost no appreciation—finally killing himself by a bullet to the chest, so great was his despair—and is now widely considered one of the most important painters of all time, his works fetching record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction. This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) represents a rarity in art history: a detailed monograph on his life and art combined with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings.

Paired together in a single, affordable volume, these disparate works reflect two different sides of Wagner's compositional mastery. Aside from his operatic works, Wagner wrote relatively little music--a single symphony, some overtures, and a few choral and piano works. Of these, the Siegfried Idyll is the most frequently performed. Although not part of the Ring cycle, the Idyll draws upon several of the Ring's motifs. Written for the birth- day of Wagner's wife, Cosima, it was never intended for public performance but financial difficulties forced the composer into publication. "The secret treasure is to become public property," Cosima noted in her diary, and audi-ences have been the happier for it. With Wagner's Faust Overture, the nineteenth century's preeminent German opera composer took on the most discussed and written-about work by Germany's most revered poet. Inspired by Wagner's attendance at a performance of Berlioz's Romeo and Juliet, the original composition dates from 1844 and depicts

Sir Thomas Lawrence painted some of the best known and loved images of the Regency period, Cherry Ripe, Pinkie and Master William Lambton (The Red Boy) which became some of the most famous images of Victorian and early twentieth century times. However, Lawrence’s real genius was to bring to life a huge cross-section of late Georgian and Regency society. These range from the elderly and kindly Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, to the swashbuckling grandees of parliament and church. Lawrence had an uncanny ability to bring society to life, even when he was painting the Archbishop of Canterbury. Today, he is also regarded as the leading portrait painter of the whole of Europe of his time, and is best seen in the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle, where the Pope presides over the allied monarchs of Europe who defeated Napoleon. This beautifully illustrated book contains some of his finest work.

Perhaps the foremost English eninposer of the early twentieth century, Edward Elgar (I857 1934) was also one of the last great Romantics. His music combined striking color effects and a superb sense of structure with rich melody and an acute sensitivity. The orchestral works of Elgar most performed and recorded are his brilliant Variations on an Original Theme (or Enigma Variations) and the aptly named Pomp and Circumstance Marches. Known for the variety and richness of their melodies, rhythmic drive and moods ranging from delicate and playful to passionate and flamboyant, the Enigma Variations depict unnamed friends of the composer and are based upon a theme never fully revealed--hence the enigma. Four of the five stirring Pomp and Circumstance Marches are included here. Filled with a distinctively English grandeur, they are magnificent display pieces featuring simple emotions captured and preserved in memorable melodic treatments.

The next big trend in typography is the hand-crafted letter.Whereas slick computer-generated graphics often impart a sense of progress or technology, hand-drawn graphics are a return to the creator's immediacy. Increasingly, advertising campaigns, record covers and branding are adopting the rough-hewn style of manually created typography. This is the first publication to offer a complete overview of handwritten typographics, drawing on an extensive array of examples from around the world. An introduction by design historian Steven Heller places contemporary work in the broader context of design. At the heart of the book are hundreds of examples, presented in creative themes: 'Scrawl', letterforms that are raw, splotchy and untidy; 'Scratch', scraped, cut and gouged fonts; 'Script',type that is sinuous, curlicued and ornate; 'Stitch', letters that have been sewn, sutured and embroidered; 'Simulate',typefaces that have been redrawn or copied; 'Shadow',dimensional, voluminous and monumental letterforms;'Sugg

A major influence on Bach-who once walked 200 miles to hear him perform-Buxtehude is among the great names in organ music and the study of counterpoint. Born five decades after Heinrich Schutz, the "father of German musicians," and a little less than half a century before Bach, he bridged the era between the founder of Protestant Baroque music and its greatest master. This collection of church chorales attests to Buxtehude's reputation as an outstanding composer of sacred vocal music. For his texts, the composer drew upon *ure as well as church hymns and contemporary or medieval sacred poetry. Albert Schweitzer, in his famous biography of Bach, observed that Buxtehude's chorale preludes are "chorale fantasias of the most varied kinds, from the simplest to the most ingenious. In the simple ones the melody goes its way quietly, just embellished here and there with a few ornaments, and accompanied by interesting and always ingenious harmonies In the large chorale preludes, Buxtehude tears the melody in piec
