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.

Written early in Beethoven's career on a commission from the Viennese court's ballet-master, The Creatures of Prometheus draws upon a creation myth for its inspiration. The ballet recounts the ancient story of the demigod Prometheus, who molds humans both literally, from clay, and intellectually, by endowing them with gifts of art and science--an irresistible scenario for Beethoven's Enlightenment sensibilities. The theme for the ballet's finale reappeared later in the composer's "Eroica" Symphony, as well as in the Eroica Variations for piano solo. Other aspects of this work, starting with a thunderstorm portraying Zeus's wrath, demonstrate the sudden key changes, tonal shifts, and unexpected tense episodes characteristic of Beethoven's style. Musicians and music lovers will want to add this authoritative score to their libraries. Noted scholar Stanley Appelbaum has provided comprehensive notes to this edition, clarifying the historical and musical background of this unusual work. Unabridged republication of

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 Wagner put his supreme effort, as well as his earnings, into constructing the perfect festival theater in the Bavarian town of Bayreuth where his masterpiece, the four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen, could be performed in a manner which would conform to his vision of how the drama should unfold. Wagner's own perception was that the unique and revolutionary character of his monumental tetralogy neeessitated a speeial theater- one where the difficulties of staging an expansive drama could be surmounted, where changes of scene could be effected without halting the performance for vast lengths of time. Der Ring des Nibelungen, which is based on a medieval German epic, the Nibelungenlied, and Norse mythology, enlarged the expressive powers of German Romantic opera; today it also gives testimony to Wagner's willingness to venture into new areas for inspirational material. The third opera of the cycle, Siegfried, reproduced here in full score, presents the story of a youthful Germanic hero of
