Few music lovers realize that the arrangement of notes ontoday’s pianos was once regarded as a crime against God and nature,or that such legendary thinkers as Pythagoras, Plato, da Vinci,Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Newton and Rousseau played a role inthe controversy. Indeed, from the time of the Ancient Greeksthrough the eras of Renaissance scientists and Enlightenmentphilosophers, the relationship between the notes of the musicalscale was seen as a key to the very nature of the universe. In this engaging and accessible account, Stuart Isacoff leads usthrough the battles over that scale, placing them in the context ofquarrels in the worlds of art, philosophy, religion, politics andscience. The contentious adoption of the modern tuning system knownas equal temperament called into question beliefs that hadlasted nearly two millenia–and also made possible the music ofBeethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Debussy, and all who followed. Filledwith original insights, fascinating anecdotes, and portraits ofsome of th

In her lavishly produced third book, accomplished editor and photographer Kelly Klein celebrates the myriad incarnations of the cross in photography of the past century. Here are images of the cross in both nature and the man-made world, in precious decorative objects and industrial architecture, in the shapes of the human body and the shapes of shadows. These pictures show how this most potent symbol can be transformed into the sacred, the ordinary, the profane, depending on its use and surroundings. This is the first book ever to distill the icon of the cross to its pure aesthetic essence, to explore its universal beauty. Photographs from the best photographers of the 20th century -- Richard Avedon, David Bailey, Fabien Baron, Erwin Blumenfeld, Nan Goldin, David Hockney, Horst, Andre Kertesz, Steven Klein, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Sally Mann, Robert Mapplethorpe, Mary Ellen Mark, Duane Michals, Tina Modotti, Francois Nars, Len Prince, Man Ray, Herb Ritts, Michael Robert

' Prints, overshadowed in the past decade by the popularity ofphoto art, are back in the mainstream ' - Wall Street Journal,April 2003 Art is now part of everyday life. Museums, galleries,art fairs and exhibitions are potent crowd-pullers, the visitorslooking for enjoyment and delight as well as instruction andeducation. Financial advisors suggest art as an investment -especially at the very affordable level of original prints. Yetwhat if the enthusiastic collector finds that what they bought isnot what they thought it was? Can you be sure of the differencebetween a photographic reproduction and an original lithograph oretching? And when thousands of T-shirts are printed with silkscreenimages, when can a silkscreen be a limited edition print? And doesa signature guarantee authenticity? What about new technology, too- how are computer graphics programmes used by artists as well asfakers? Today, more than ever, these and a hundred other questionsneed accurate answers, to help the co

Literature about Durer fills library shelves. Does this meaneverything has already been said about the artist? Far from it,according to the scholars at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum andtheir international partners in the Early Durer Project. This bookdeals with the core phenomena of Durers early work, ranging fromthe artists biography and surroundings to the question of Durersrole as the archetype of the modern artist. New sociologicalapproaches allow us to interpret Durers ideal neighbourhood as asource of inspiration for the artists work, resituating Durer inthe artistic context of his time, at an exciting crossroad betweenthe imitation of traditional painting and the self-consciousrenewal of his profession. Photographs of Durers early work, manyof which are new and published here for the first time, completethe publication, which will establish a new basis for a modernunderstanding of Germanys most famous artist.

Rem Koolhaas (Rotterdam,1944)studied architecture at the AA in London--where he went on tobecome a lecturer--and at the IAUS in New York, during PeterEisenman's time there.

In this compulsively readable, fascinating, and provocativeguide to classical music, Norman Lebrecht, one of the world's mostwidely read cultural commentators tells the story of the rise ofthe classical recording industry from Caruso's first notes to theheyday of Bernstein, Glenn Gould, Callas, and von Karajan. Lebrechtcompellingly demonstrates that classical recording has reached itsend point-but this is not simply an expos? of decline and fall. Itis, for the first time, the full story of a minor art form,analyzing the cultural revolution wrought by Schnabel, Toscanini,Callas, Rattle, the Three Tenors, and Charlotte Church. It is thestory of how stars were made and broken by the record business; howa war criminal conspired with a concentration-camp victim to createa record empire; and how advancing technology, boardroom wars,public credulity and unscrupulous exploitation shaped the musicalbackdrop to our modern lives. The book ends with a suitable shrineto classical recording: the author's critical selectio
