Fumihiko Maki's many buildings are characterized by a commitment to the ongoing project of Modernism as well as a humanist concern for the experience of the people who inhabit them. Both a thoughtful writer and a prolific builder, Maki was a founding member of the Metabolists, a highly influential group of Japanese architects in the 1960s who redefined how designers thought about large-scale urban planning. His own work, while sometimes vast in scale, is consistently responsive to the individual user. His 50-year exploration and expansion of the Modernist vocabulary has resulted in buildings that are technologically inventive, deceptively simple, and which carefully balance lightness and dignity. This book contains over 40 projects, extensively illustrated with drawings, photos, models, sketches, diagrams and computer renderings. These include the Spiral Building in Tokyo, the Fujisawa Municipal Gymnasium, the Kaze-No-Oka Crematorium in Nakatsu, and a tower currently under construction for the World Trade Cen

This superbly produced yet inexpensive two-volume edition presents all of Liszt's etudes as edited by the great pianist, composer and musical scholar Ferruccio Busoni for the Franz Liszt Society and published by Breitkopf & H/irtel in Leipzig in 1910-11. This second volume, Series II, includes many of Liszt's most important piano works. Liszt's creative method can be observed in his reworking of the Etudes d'Execution Transcendante d'aps Paganini into the Grandes Etudes de Paganini (better known simply as the Paganini Etudes), and the similar revision of the "Moreeau de Salon" into "Ab Irato." The separate etudes cover a wide stylistic range, from the dazzling technical display of the most popular of the Paganini Etudes, "La Canlpanella," to the graceful, restrained lyricism of "Waldesrauschen." Each will bring to pianists and their listeners a moving encounter with the genius ofthis towering musical personality.

During her brief career Marilyn appeared in several classic movies，winning acclaim from the public and critics alike，but despite all her outward success she did not find settled happiness in Hollywood，She frequently played the role of the attractive“dumb blonde”，but as an intenlligent，talented，and complex woman，it was a stereotype from which she would spend much of her life attempting to escape。she was also haunted by the specter of her unsettled childhood，which appeared to translate into restlessness throughout her life，and a series of failed marriages and pregnancies did nothing to shake off her insecurities。images of Marilyn Monroe is a superb collection of photographs that tells the story of Marilyn’s private and professional life，from her first steps in Hollywood，through her relationships with some of America’s most celebrated men，to her success as one of the movie industry’s most bankable stars，covering the highs and lows along the way。

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,

Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) is now universallyacclaimed: museums pride themselves on his paintings, crowds flockto his retrospectives. His work shows art at its mostlight-hearted, sensual and luminous. Renoir never wanted anythingugly in his paintings, nor any dramatic action. "I like pictureswhich make me want to wander through them when it's a landscape,"he said, "or pass my hand over breast or back if it's a woman."Renoir's entire oeuvre is dominated by the depiction of women.Again and again he painted "these faunesses with their poutinglips" (Mallarme) and invented a new image of feminity.

Life is life, and art is art. ""It is my wish to come very close, strikinglyclose, to the times in which we live, without submitting toartistic dogma...I need the connection to the world of senses, thecourage to portray ugliness, life as it comes."" - Otto Dix In the 1920s, Otto Dix was the artist ofNeue Sachlichkeit, the New Objectivity, par excellence. Painting ina very realistic, almost photographic style, he chose as subjectsthe poverty, violence, death, and war that he experienced as asoldier in World War I. After this terrible experience, he paintedthe famous triptych "The War." Dix staged the world as a play, a grotesquefarce. But the form he chose to do so was based on the classicalcanon of beauty. Dix lived his life and served art, for he adheredto the age-old rule that the American painter Ad Reinhardt put in anutshell: "Life is life, and art is art."

Caravaggio - A genius beyond his time Notorious bad boy of Italian Baroque painting, Caravaggio (1571-1610) is finally getting the recognition he deserves. Thoughhis name may be familiar to all of us, his work has been habituallydetested and forced into obscurity. Not only was his theatricalrealism unfashionable in his time, but his sacrilegious subjectmatter and use of lower class models were violently scorned. Caravaggio's great work had the misfortune of enduring centuries ofdisrepute. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that he wasrediscovered and, quite posthumously, deemed a great master. He is now considered the most important painter of the early Baroqueperiod ; without him there would have been no Ribera, Zurbarán,Velázquez, Vermeer or Georges de la Tour. Franz Hals, Rembrandt,Delacroix, and Manet would have been different. In this anniversary edition you'll find over 50 ofCaravaggio's best paintings; we think you'll agree that he was agenius beyond his time.

In the autumn of 1819, refreshed from a three-month stay in the Austrian countryside, Franz Schubert returned to Vienna to begin one of his major choral works, the great Mass in A-fiat Major. Completed three years later, this work has been praised as a grand harmonic adventure with deeply affecting moments of rare poignance. Along with the Mass No. 6 in E-flat Maior, it is the most performed of Schubert's masses. The latter work--composed in 1828, the year of his death was among the final musical achievements of Schubert's brief life. It is especially memorable for its touching commemoration of the birth of Christ in a haunting lullaby, and its powerful evocation of the cruel spectacle of the crucifixion. Both masterworks of church music have been reprinted from the definitive Breitkopf & Hartel Critical Edition of 1884-1897. Separate English translations of the Latin texts are provided.

Beethoven said of Handel that he of all composers knew best how to achieve grand effects with simple means. Those magnificent moments are nowhere more evident than in Handel's great oratorios, perennial favorites with audiences and musicians alike. Grove's Diictionary of Music and Musicians says of Handel: "... in oratorio he brought the level of artistry to a higher plane than his contemporaries." Judas Maccabaeus was first performed in London at Covent Garden in 1747 and was an instant success. The subject of the oratorio--the triumph of the Jewish warrior-hero Judas Maccabaeus over the invading enemies of the Israelites--was deliberately chosen to appeal to the patriotic sympathies of 18th-century Londoners immediately after the crushing of the Jacobite rebellion in April of 1746. Although political overtones had some role in the oratorio's initial success, it is the beauty, dramatic power and brilliant originality of the arias, duets and choruses that have kept this work constantly in th

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,

Richard Strauss (1864-1949) first wrote Ariadne auf Naxos as an interlude to be performed with Moli~re's play Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, and it was presented in Stuttgart in that form in 1912. Several years later, with his collaborator Hugo von Hoffmansthal, Strauss expanded the work into the full-length opera we know today. This glorious new Ariadne auf Naxos was first presented at the Vienna State Opera in October 1916. The story artfully intermingles backstage comedy, the lofty emotions of Greek mythology and the merry pranks of a troupe of commedia dell'arte players. Strauss endowed these antic proceedings with a luminous score that combines music of great satiric wit with breathtaking flights of lyricism. Today Ariadne auf Naxos is one of Richard Strauss's most highly regarded operas, and is frequently performed on the world's stages. It is reprinted here from the definitive full-score edition published in Berlin by Adolph Fiirstner following the opera's 1916 premiere.

The Artists Laboratory series presents the more experimental and less familiar work of contemporary artists, opening up the creative process to explore the conceptual, visual and practical issues with which they engage. For the painter Hughie ODonoghue RA (b. 1953), this process involves research into his familys past in particular his fathers experiences in the Second World War an ongoing project that he likens to a draughtsmans exploration of subject-matter. Seeking in his art to remember events that he did not witness himself, to put flesh on the bones of history, ODonoghue unites this immersive investigation in personal and public archives with his preoccupation with art history, artefacts and mythology, creating poetic and moving works of universal significance. In this book, the fifth in the Artists Laboratory series, ODonoghue and his fellow Royal Academician Grayson Perry discuss ideas of remembrance and the subjective re-telling of history, while ODonoghue himself reflects on the personal and

This finely produced volume, reprinted from the authoritative edition published by Breitkopf & H/irtel of Leipzig, combines Chopin's two piano concertos in one full-score edition. Both the Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 11, and the Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Minor, Op. 21, consummately reveal Chopin's profound understanding of the piano as a dynamic instrument of expression. Over the century and a half since their composition, they have enjoyed wide popularity with pianists,orchestras and their audiences. Chopin wrote both concerti as vehicles to launch his career as a concert artist.However, he soon abandoned the concert hall for the more intimate atmosphere of the salon, and turned his creative attentions to the brilliant shorter works on which his reputation would ultimately rest. These two luminous compositions remain among his few ventures into the longer and more comprehensive musical forms.They are filled with extended stretches of brilliant passagework and deeply affecting moments of tender a
