DOWNLOAD EBOOKLindeman, a musicologist, traces and defines the historical development of the concerto form as it passed from Mozart to succeeding generations. He then assesses Beethoven's contributions, and examines the classical model of the form in the early 19th century by overviewing several early romantic composers' works. Subsequent chapters analyze and assess the responses of five precursers of Schumann, whose work offers a synthesis of radical experiments and traditional tenets. He concludes by suggesting that concertos of Lizst offer a road into further developments of the genre in the second half of the century. Illustrated with bandw portraits of composers and excerpts from musical scores. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWritten when the composer was just 17 to 18 years of age, these romantic-styled pieces for piano trio were dedicated to 3 friends, Natalya, Lyudmila, and Vera Skalon. They feature a short passage that would later be used in Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, beginning the 2nd movement. It is an especially nice, and playable, ensemble concert piece, technically within the reach of late intermediate artists.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis guide to Mozart's two most popular piano concertos--the D minor, K. 466, and the C major, K. 467 (the so-called "Elvira Madigan")--presents the historical background of the works, placing them within the context of Mozart's compositional and performance activities at a time when his reputation as both composer and pianist was at its peak. The special nature of the concerto, as both a form and genre, is explored through a selective survey of some of the approaches that various critics have taken in discussing Mozart's concertos. The concluding chapter discusses a wide range of issues of interest to modern performers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTrevor Langley is a down-on-his-luck, lovelorn private investigator working out of Norfolk, Virginia who's getting fed up with his work- constantly having to put the tail on the dregs of society: cheating spouses, deadbeat dads, and embezzling employees. He longs for two things: a fresh slant toward his work, and finding the woman of his dreams. Well, Trevor's about to have both wishes granted as Julia Forest enters his life one hot, summer night bearing an unusual photo that sets Trevor out on the most bizarre case of his career: investigating a series of mysterious occurrences taking place in Julia's hometown, Willow Glen - a tiny hamlet with a strange and shameful legacy that lies just outside Jamestown, site of the first permanent English settlement in America where hundreds of colonists died in a bleak period known as the "Starving Time." Before the week is out he'll stumble across a macabre plot targeting someone close to Julia, his new love interest; meet up with the spirit of a child who, unbeknownst to him, holds a very special place in his own genealogical tree; and try to thwart a group of fanatics bent on resurrecting a heinous ritual - all culminating in a monumental battle against the forces of good and evil that takes place on the eve of summer solstice - with him thrown dead center into all of the action. Could any PI looking for a fresh slant toward his work ask for more?
