Paperback. Zustand: Good. This refreshing and delightfully written book underscores the important role that wood has played in the development of American life and culture. Charmingly illustrated with author Eric Sloane's own sketches, the text illuminates with rare insight the enormously varied and useful qualities of wood.Covering such topics as the aesthetics of wood, wooden implements, and carpentry, Sloane remarks expansively and with affection on the resourcefulness of early Americans in their use of this precious commodity. From cradle to coffin, the pioneer was surrounded by wood. It was used to make tools, fence the land, and build barns. People sat at wooden tables on wooden chairs and ate from wooden dishes. Charcoal, one of the many by-products of wood, was used to preserve meat, remove offensive odors, and produce ink. The bark of various trees was processed to make medicine. An entertaining, factual, and historically accurate book, A Reverence for Wood will delight woodcrafters and lovers of Americana. It is one of Eric Sloane's best books. -- Library Journal.…

He includes as well 32 plates of illustrations and two invaluable appendixes: a complete catalogue of Ravel's works, and a discography of historical recordings made between 1912 and 1939.Highly recommended . a worthy centenary tribute to both Ravel and his musical legacy. -- ChoiceIf the concert-goer is looking for the one book on Ravel that would serve him best, this is probably it. -- Intermezzo.…

Notenblatt. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The very lively three-movement Piano Concerto in G major is characterised, with regard to style, by jazz influences, especially in the first and third movements, but by late Romantic and impressionist influences in the middle movement. Ravel himself called it 'a concerto in the truest sense of this generic term: With that, I want to say that it has been written in the spirit of the concertos by Mozart and Saint-Saëns.'Instrumentation:piano and orchestra; Das quirlige dreisätzige Klavierkonzert in G-Dur ist stilistisch - vor allem im ersten und dritten Satz - von Jazz-Einflüssen geprägt, im Mittelsatz dagegen spätromantisch-impressionistisch.
