In "The Little Violinist," Thomas Bailey Aldrich presents a poignant exploration of childhood innocence juxtaposed with the harsh realities of life. Written in lyrical prose, Aldrich weaves a narrative that captures the essence of youthful dreams through the eyes of a young musician whose talent transcends his impoverished background. The book is steeped in the literary traditions of 19th-century American realism, characterized by its attention to emotional depth and social critique, inviting readers to reflect on the intersection of art and adversity in a rapidly changing society. Aldrich, a notable figure in American literature, was deeply influenced by his own experiences growing up in a modest family and his passion for music. His diverse career as a poet, editor, and novelist provided him unique insights into the complexities of human emotion and societal constraints. This background informed Aldrichs intent to shed light on the aspirations and struggles of the underprivileged, particularly through the lens of youth in "The Little Violinist." This evocative tale is a must-read for those interested in the delicate interplay between artistry and hardship. Aldrichs masterful storytelling invites empathy and reflection, making it a timeless narrative that resonates with both young readers and adults alike.

Gottlieb Muffat (1690-1770) has been heralded as one of the first composers of keyboard music to display distinctly Austrian traits. In light of both the extent and quality of his uvre, he was undoubtedly the single most important composer of keyboard music in Vienna in the first half of the eighteenth century. A prodigious child, he performed for the Emperor when he was around ten years old and his formative years were shaped by two of the most renowned composers of the period: his father Georg and Johann Joseph Fux. Muffat served as organist at the Viennese imperial court for over half a century and was responsible for teaching several members of the imperial family. This book explores both his career and quotidian existence and presents much hitherto unknown information about other members of this musical family. A thematic catalogue, which includes descriptions of all known manuscript sources of his music, comprises the second part of this study and serves to highlight the significance of his output and the reception and transmission of his work.

The classic biography of one of the greatest record producers of all time - a man who famously rejected The Beatles. Joe Meek broke the boundaries of pop production in the 1950s and 60s, and dominated the music industry for a period, despite his outsider, renegade approach. Famously, his life ended tragically when he shot both himself and his landlady in 1967, but his legacy remains, and is explored wonderfully in "The Telstar Man"

Este libro explica el proceso de gestación y filmación de The Last Waltz, una película que puede considerarse la obra maestra de The Band. Los cinco músicos se despiden tras 16 años de carretera y organizan un concierto extraordinario, donde en cada cancion y en cada fotograma rinden un hondo homenaje a la herencia musical recibida por su generacion. Esa armonia en el instante de desintegracion es un fenomeno extraño que plasma en imagenes Martin Scorsese, una estrella ascendente que se cruza con ese torbellino sonoro dispuesto a fundirse en negro. El quinteto va a celebrar su propio funeral con grandes amigos, todos ellos nombres para la historia, y el resultado es probablemente la pelicula mas musical de cuantas existen.

"Sometimes I feel as if hes sitting next to me."Buchbinder on BeethovenNo work has left a more lasting impression on star pianist Rudolf Buchbinder than Beethovens Diabelli Variations. The Last Waltz explores the world of Beethoven, the publisher Anton Diabelli, and the musical Vienna of the early 19th century in 33 literary variations and offers a fascinating look at Buchbinders personal approach to music: why did Buchbinder play the Diabelli variations at such a young age? How did he help to save Beethovens manuscript of the piece? What does he think about while playing Beethoven? How much boogie-woogie is in Beethoven? Why should a musician trust him blindly when playing his music? And what inspired Buchbinder to send Diabellis waltz to leading contemporary composers, reintroducing the Diabelli variations to the 21st century?The Last Waltz brings marvelous stories of music and people to life.

The title of this collection of essays refers to a tailors mannequin that Alfred Brendel spotted in a shop window in Arezzo, a small Tuscan town. Who is this strange lady? What is she looking at? And why is she carrying an egg on her head? The mannequin now graces a room in the attic of Brendels house in Hampstead. Her features convey great artistic seriousness in combination with absurd comedy: the epitome of his own musical and literary preferences. And so, in his delightful new collection, great masters of nonsense meet great masters of music.

By any standards, Kings of Leon are unique. Consisting of three brothers and their first cousin, all surnamed Followill, the quartet from Tennessee have conquered the music world on their own terms. They have audaciously mixed elements of classic rock with grunge, garage and a very contemporary attitude. The result is music that has found a global audience, drawn from all ages. Along the way, the band have earned the respect of Bob Dylan, U2, and other A-list celebrities. Their hard-partying lifestyle and glamorous girlfriends ensure that the band remains a favourite with the media. This book traces the rise of Kings of Leon from local hopefuls to Grammy-winning chart-toppers. A religious background that kept them well away from rock music until 1997 has further added to the mystique surrounding the Kings, as Michael Heatley recounts in this first-ever full-length, authoritative biography of the band.

From 1955-65 the historian Eric Hobsbawm took the pseudonym Francis Newton and wrote a monthly column for the New Statesman on jazz - music he had loved ever since discovering it as a boy in 1933 (the year Adolf Hitler took power in Germany). Hobsbawms column led to his writing a critical history, The Jazz Scene (1959). This enhanced edition from 1993 adds later writings by Hobsbawm in which he meditates further on why jazz is not only a marvellous noise but a central concern for anyone concerned with twentieth-century society and the twentieth-century arts.All the greats are covered in passing (Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday), while further space is given to Duke Ellington, Ray Charles, Thelonious Monk, Mahalia Jackson, and Sidney Bechet ... Perhaps Hobsbawms tastiest comments are about the business side and work ethics, where his historians eye strips the jazz scene down to its commercial spine.Kirkus Reviews
