内容简介
This collection of Brahms' enchanting Hungarian Dances will thrill intermediate and advanced pianists. Based on Hungarian themes, this lively and popular set of 21 dance arrangements contains some of the Romantic classicist's most popular piano pieces in one low-priced edition.
An influential early Romantic composer for piano, John Field (1782-1837) redefined the term "nocturne." Field's dreamy, poetic style exerted a lasting effect on such later composers as Chopin, Liszt, and Schumann. This new collection brings together the most popular and often performed of Field's nocturnes, along with a selection of his most important solo piano works.

The coroner's verdict is death fromnatural causes - refreshingly unusual for Sicily. But InspectorSalvo Montalbano, as honest as he is streetwise and as scathing tofools and villains as he is compassionate to their victims, is notready to close the case - even though he's being pressured byVigata's police chief, judge, and bishop. Picking his way through alabyrinth of high-comedy corruption, delicious meals, vendettafirepower, and carefully planted false clues, Montalbano can berelied on, whatever the cost, to get to the heart of thematter.
《中国美术院校：潘思同水彩画直观选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观。所谓直观就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“潘思同水彩遗作展”在新加坡展出，他的

In 1964, on the brink of the British Invasion, the musicbusiness in America shunned rock and roll. There was no rock press,no such thing as artist management -- literally no rock-and-rollbusiness. Today the industry will gross over $20 billion. How didthis change happen? From the moment Pete Seeger tried to cut thepower at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival debut of Bob Dylan'selectric band, rock's cultural influence and business potentialhave been grasped by a rare assortment of ambitious and farsightedmusicians and businessmen. Jon Landau took calls from legendaryproducer Jerry Wexler in his Brandeis dorm room and went on toorchestrate Bruce Springsteen's career. Albert Grossman's cold-eyedassessment of the financial power at his clients' fingertips madehim the first rock manager to blaze the trail that David Geffentransformed into a superhighway. Dylan's uncanny ability to keephis manipulation of the business separate from his art andreputation prefigured the savvy -- and increasingly cynical --professi
Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) emerged from humble circumstances - reflected in his nickname, "the customs official". An employee in the Paris customs bureau, Rousseau was an autodidact who incrementally worked his way into a position among the artists who were renewing the art world at the turn of the century. It was a difficult journey - for years the art world laughed at the layman's flat, icon-like figures, simple landscapes and, in his late phase, exotic jungle scenes. However his "naive" compositions in fact became an emblem that piqued the interest of the avant-garde. Rousseau's jungle paintings consisted of ornamental variations of plant leaves, among which he set brilliantly coloured predators, natives and naked beauties. In so doing, the artist evinced intuitive principles of design and compositions, which subsequent avant-garde artists had to work out for themselves with great effort. Ultimately winning recognition as an uncompromising modernist, Rousseau inspired comparison with Derain, Cezanne, Matis

Egon Schiele (1890-1918) - along with Oskar Kokoschka - is the painter who had the most long-lasting influence on the Vienna art scene after the great era of Klimt came to a close. After a short flirtation with Klimt's style, Schiele soon questioned the aesthetic orientation to the beautiful surface of the Viennese Art Nouveau with his rough and not easily accessible paintings. Many contemporaries found his expressive nudes and self-portraits, with their strange movements and morbid colours, to be ugly and even morally objectionable - criticism which culminated in criminalizing the painter as "obscene" and resulted in 1912 in an indictment and short jail sentence. However, not even his harshest critics could dispute however the artist's extraordinary drawing talent.
