The works of Brahms for solo piano cannot be considered complete without his espe- cially instructive short studies, dances and cadenzas. This volume contains them all:the five Studies after pieces by Chopin, Weber and Bach; Tran*ion of a Gavotte by Gluck; Study after Schubert's hnpromptn Op. 90, No. 9; two Gigues; two Sarabandes; a Theme and Variations; ten Hungarian Dances; eight Cadenzas for pieces by Bach, Mozart and Beethoven; and 51 Piano Exercises. The music is reproduced directly from the definitive Vienna Gesellschaft der Musik-freunde edition, edited by its renowned musicologist, Eusebius Mandyczewski, who made his revisions from original sources, often Brahms' own manu*s. For this Dover edition, the Editor's Preface (Revisionsbericht) and the Table of Contents have been translated into English. Noteheads have been reproduced in a size large enough to be read easily at the keyboard.Margins and spaces between staves are generous, permitting insertion of written notes,analysis, fingerings, r

De*ion: Emergencies collects work relating to Alfredo Jaar's Emergency, or to its call for attention to the developing world. From Tony Oursler's Boot to Anri Sala's Dammi i Colori, the works presented here were gathered together for the inaugural exhibition at the Museo de Arte Contemporneo de Castilla y Le*n, which opened in Le*n, Spain, in 2005. MUSAC's agenda, above and beyond collecting contemporary art, is the establishment of a dialogue with the public about everyday events that affect and threaten human sensibility. Emergencies documents that collecting, and is also a platform for the expression of the artists' and the museum's utopian hopes, as well as a stage for the fight between injustice and artists' dreams. To that end, each section of this dense, well-designed volume lists further reading on the artistic and political topics covered--government, nonprofit and reference addresses to turn to for more information in addition to web sites of interest.

The main purpose of business cards and letterheads is verysimple:to present the name and the most important contactinformation of a person or a company.For many graphicdesigners,they are a crucial,although often rather prosaic field ofwork

Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth's Miraculous Horn) was an assemblage of folksongs and folksong-style poems collected and adapted in 1805 and 1808 by poets Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano to reflect their concept of German folk poetry. In 1887, Gustav Mahler discovered the musical potential of this col-lection; and over the next 14 years, it provided him with most of his song texts. By applying his personal experiences to reinterpret literary thought--something he was to do all his life in almost every composition he penned--he was able to create musical settings that elevated poetry beyond the realm of fairy tale and neomedievalism. Included among these elebrated lieder are: Zu Strassburg auf der Schanz' Ablosung im Sommer Nicht Wiedersehen! Wo die schonen Trompeten blasen Trost im Ungluck Rheinlegendschen In addition to Mahler's 23 songs on Wunderhorn texts--and the full text of the 24th song, Das himmlische Leben--this important new compilation contains his settings of

An in-depth study of Koons's entire oeuvre to date. Unlimited popular edition. From kinky to kitsch to conceptual, Jeff Koons s art is anything but conformist. Since he stirred up the art world establishment in the 1980s with his unapologetic basketball sculptures and stainless steel toy blow-ups, Koons has been known as somewhat of a bad boy a reputation he confirmed in the early 90s via works depicting him having sex with then-wife Cicciolina, the Italian porn star-cum-politician. Following this torrid phase, he changed gears to produce the gargantuan Puppy, the 43-foot tall floral terrier that now resides at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Koons s exploitation of the banal, in the aggrandizement and/or embodiment of kitsch and pop imagery, has become his trademark; detractors may delight in their naysaying, but Koons s work commands millions at auction and his position at the forefront of contemporary art is indisputable. This exhaustive monograph begins with a biographical essay by In

Brahms's melodic gifts and genuine emotional response to poetry produced some of the finest German songs, equalling and occasionally surpassing Schubert in lyricism. Frequent performances and recordings of these songs continue to prove Brahms's lasting contribution to this domain, and create a need for authentic, accessible printed music. The finest complete musical tran* of Brahms, published by Breitkopf & Hairtel (for whom Brahms worked as editor), is reproduced here--the authoritative texts with new translations of the lyrics. This volume (Series IV of the complete Dover Brahms songs, published in four volumes) contains Stanley Appelbaum's new literal prose translations of 120 songs that complete the Brahms song oeuvre. 19 of the songs conclude Brahms's chronological production between 1889 and 1896, including the gems "Wie Melodien zieht es," "Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer," and the Four Serious Songs (Vier ernste Gesange). Then, there are 2 separate songs without opus numbers; solo versions of

In order to answer the question: To what degree does the place in which an individual lives influence his/her creative work?, a travel book of 350 blank pages, a video camera, and a T-shirt traveled the world in search of creative diversity. For the 18-month duration of the PLACe project, two suitcases containing the elements listed above traveled east and west simultaneously, visiting a total of 35 artists. Each artist was asked to think about their context, to look, see, discover, and depict their vision and experience on the supports given to them--book, video, T-shirt. They were encouraged to work on the supports to unify criteria and formats, while leaving room for the interpretation of each. This logbook of the PLACe project reveals the results of this intriguing game with few rules and a lot of room for risk-taking, exploration, and improvisation.

Paganini and Wieniawski were two of the most famous violin virtuosos of the 19th century, and composers of a number of the most treasured masterpieces in the violin repertory. Here, in a comprehensive playing edition, are three of their most celebrated works for solo violin: Paganini's innovative Caprices, Op. 1, and Wieniawski's maior collections of studies, L'Ecole Moderne, Op. 10, and Etudes-Caprices, Op. 18. Nicol6 Paganini （1782-1840） developed a phenomenal playing technique, and literally transformed violin playing with his dazzling technical breakthroughs-fingered octaves, double-triple-and quadruple-stop chords, and "ricochet" bowings among them. His twenty-four Caprices, reprinted here from the definitive C. F. Peters edition, are a virtual textbook summation of his extraordinary achievements. Henryk Wieniawski （1835-1880） greatly enriched the violin literature with his highly individual style, combining Paganini's technical advances with a soaring Romanticism and distinctive Slavonic

Dancers always remained Degas's favorite theme "No art could be less spontaneous than mine. Inspiration,spontaneity, temperament are unknown to me. One has to do the samesubject ten times, even a hundred times over. In art, nothingshould look like chance, not even movement." (Edgar Degas) In terms of both theme and technique, the key to understandingthe early work of Edgar Degas (1834-1917) is classical painting.Although he was eventually associated with the Impressionists andeven participated in their joint exhibitions, Degas never adopted apurely Impressionist approach. Degas's work, reflecting an extremely personal and psychologicalperspective, emphasizes the scenic or concentrates on the detail.Thus, Degas's painting is often discussed with reference to therise of short-exposure photography. Thematically, nature provedless interesting to the artist than the life and inhabitants of themodern metropolis. Degas primarily sought his motifs in balletsalons, at the race track or circus,
