Sparkling, graceful and tinged with an ineffable melancholy, Chopin's waltzes succeed in conveying an air of mystery while retaining their ballroom splendor. His scherzos are truly novel metamorphoses of the form — tumultuous emotional outpourings that frequently attain tragic heights. This volume includes 15 Waltzes and 4 Scherzos. Republication of works from an authoritative early edition.

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.

Die Frau ohne Schatten ("The Woman without a Shadow") is widely regarded as Richard Strauss' finest score. This enchanting opera stars a pair of childless couples-a fairy-empress and her huntsman-emperor husband, the poor dyer Barak and his grim wife-plus a supporting cast of pirits, secret messengers, and disembodied voices in a dreamlike landscape. The opera, which premiered in 1919, features a libretto based on an original story by Strauss' frequent collaborator, Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Its fairy-tale allegory evokes the world of Mozart's The Magic Flute, brought to vibrant life with the composer's spectacular, lush orchestral score-the most fantastically intricate work in the long career of this master orchestrator. An absolute must for students and admirers of Strauss' craft, this volume pro-vides an authoritative edition of the opera's full score.

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.

The First Violin Concerto in G Minor is one of German composer Max Brueh's (1838-1920) most enduring works, filled with exuberant melody and colorful orchestration, richly displaying the virtuoso role of the violin solo. First performedin Bremen in 1868, this brilliant work remains today one of the most performed and recorded concertos in the violin repertoire. Bruch's lifelong interest in folk music is reflected in his Scottish ~antasy, a charming and vigorous work for violin and orchestra, first performed in Berlin in 1880. The composer was especially proud to have gathered his folk themes not from books but from his own travels throughout Britain. The full orchestral score of the Scottish Fantasy is reprinted here, along with the full score of the First Violin Concerto, from authoritative German editions.

Berlioz's magnum opus is unrivaled in its grandeur, calling for huge orchestral and choral forces. From the brass fanfares of the "Day of Judgment" to the tender strains of "Agnus Dei," it is a work of pure celestial power. Reprint of the Breitkopf & H rtel, Leipzig, edition.

1950-1954: Architecture of the Avant-Garde. This volume covers the first half of the 1950s, a time characterized by great optimism. The consequences of World War II had largely been overcome, the most urgent needs of the population were satisfied, and economic prospects looked bright. Architecture and design looked for new forms of expression, for new materials and their applications - and the possibilities seemed limitless. Volume III shows contemporary trends of the time through detailed reports on the ninth Triennial in Milan and about designers like Tapio Wirkkala, Finn Juhl, Carlo de Carli, Carlo Mollino, Piero Fornasetti, Marco Zanuso, Harry Bertoia and George Nelson. Via features on Le Corbusier's famous Unité d'Habitation in Marseille, the groundbreaking Case Study Houses by Charles and Ray Eames, the efforts of Richard Neutra in California, the work of Oscar Niemeyer in Brazil, and the futuristic Olivetti Showroom by Studio BBPR in New York.

In Pagliacci, intense passions build in the lives of a troupe of commedia delrarte players until they explode in mid-performance into a horrifying double murder.This kind of shocking scene was a hallmark of verismo, the Italian school of operatic realism that first soared to popularity in the 1890s. Pagliacci, first performed in Milan in 1892, is a classic of the verismo tradition. Ruggiero Leoncavallo, both composer and librettist, based Pagliacci on real-life events he recalled from childhood. From these he fashioned a vivid musical play within a play that begins innocently enough as a simple farce involving the traditional characters of Harlequin, Columbine and Clown, but suddenly becomes an ominous series of threatening encounters that end in tragedy. From the first, audiences have loved Pagliacci. It remains today one of the most enduringly popular of all operas. This full-score edition will enable music lovers to appreciate the many wonderful features of the work, in particular Leoncavallo's gre

Composed in 1910, The Firebird was the first of many successful ballets that brought Stravinsky international recognition. This edition is the composer's own reduction for solo piano.

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.

One of the greatest orchestral and opera composers of the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Richard Strauss created brilliant tone poems such as Don Juan and Till Eulenspiegel's Lustige Streiche that rank among the most performed and studied works in the repertoire. His popular early work,Burleske for Piano and Orchestra, fully displays the remarkable orchestral color and brilliant orchestration so characteristic of his later works. The German term Burleske translates as "farce" and it constitutes an apt de*ion of this work, which abounds in sly humor that lurks beneath an elegant veneer and anticipates the spirited hijinks of Till Eulenspiegel. Completed in 1886 while the 21-year-old Strauss was heavily influenced by the example and music of Brahms, it premiered four years later at a per-formance by the famous pianist and Liszt pupil Eugen d'Albert. The Lisztian tradition of keyboard gymnastics is amply evidenced in this lively work, which is as popular with performers as it is with audiences.

The great Austrian composer's most highly regarded work, a fusion of song and symphony epitomizing both his genius and the very spirit of late Romanticism. Reprinted from the original Viennese edition published in 1912 by Universal Edition, with English translations of song texts. Table of contents.
