In this long-awaited volume to The Symphony: A Reader's Guide, Michael Steinberg discusses over 120 works, ranging from Johann Sebastian Bach in the 1720s to John Adams in 1994. Readers will find here the heart of the standard repertory, among them Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, eighteen of Mozart's piano concertos, and all the concertos of Beethoven and Brahms. The book also provides luminous introductions to the achievements of twentieth-century masters such as Arnold Schoenberg, Bela Bartok, Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland, and Elliott Carter. Steinberg examines the work of these musical giants with unflagging enthusiasm and bright style. He is a master of capturing the expressive, dramatic, and emotional values of the music and of conveying the historical and personal context in which these wondrous works were composed. - Category: Books Reading - Misc. - New - Item: 461513761 - The Concerto A Listener's Guide

Genocide on Trial War Crimes Trials and the Formation of Holocaust History and Memory


When the Allies tried German war criminals at the end of World War II they were attempting not only to punish the guilty but also to set down a history of Nazism and of what had happened in Europe. Yet as Donald Bloxham shows in this incisive account, the reality was that these proceedings failed. Not only did the guilty often escape punishment but the final solution was largely written out of history in the post-war era. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461514140 - Genocide on Trial War Crimes Trials and the Formation of Holocaust History and Memory
