Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Reprint of the best-known and most widely used all over the world school for trumpet and other brass instruments by Jean-Baptiste ARBAN.This book contains the complete volume 1. Biographical Sketch of Joseph -Jean -Baptiste-Laurent Arban This illustrious artist was born at Lyons, France, February 28, 1825. He entered the Conservatory at an early age, taking up the study of the trumpet under Dauverne, and won first prize in 1845. His military term was passed in the navy on board the 'La Belle Poule,' whose chief musician, Paulus, became Chief Musician of the Garde à Paris during the reign of Napoleon III. After having been professor of Saxhorn at the Military school (1857), he was elected professor of Cornet at the Conservatory January 23, 1869. After attending to these duties for a term of five years, Arban left the Conservatory for six years, returning again in 1880. He was the most brilliant cornet player of his time, and his astonishing performances and triumphant concert tours throughout Europe were the means of establishing the Valve Cornet as one of the most popular of all musical instruments. Arban's artistic ideals, sound musicianship and invaluable instructive principles were perpetuated in his splendid 'Method for the Cornet,' which has succeeded in maintaining the very highest position among similar instructive works and which has never been surpassed in point of practical superiority or artistic plan. Arban died at Paris on April 9, 1889. He was an officer of the Academie, Knight of the Order of Leopold of Belgium, of Christ of Portugal, and of Isabella the Catholic, and of the Cross of Russia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The sun rose slowly over the great bulk of the Carpathian mountains lying along the horizon, weird giant shapes in the early morningmist. It was still very quiet in the village. A cock crowed here and there, and swallows flew chirping close to the ground, darting swiftly about preparing for their higher flight. Janci the shepherd, apparently the only human being already up, stood beside the brook at the point where the old bridge spans the streamlet, still turbulent from the mountain floods. Janci was cutting willows to make his Margit a new basket. Once the shepherd raised his head from his work, for he thought he heard a loud laugh somewhere in the near distance. But all seemed silent and he turned back to his willows. The beauty of the landscape about him was much too familiar a thing that he should have felt or seen its charm. The violet hue of the distant woods, the red gleaming of the heather-strewn moor, with its patches of swamp from which the slow mist arose, the pretty little village with its handsome old church and attractive rectory ¿ Janci had known it so long that he never stopped to realise how very charming, in its gentle melancholy, it all was.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -France. ¿ The country we now know as France is the tract of land shut in by the British Channel, the Bay of Biscay, the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean, and the Alps. But this country only gained the name of France by degrees. In the earliest days of which we have any account, it was peopled by the Celts, and it was known to the Romans as part of a larger country which bore the name of Gaul. After all of it, save the north-western moorlands, or what we now call Brittany, had been conquered and settled by the Romans, it was overrun by tribes of the great Teutonic race, the same family to which Englishmen belong. Of these tribes, the Goths settled in the provinces to the south; the Burgundians, in the east, around the Jura; while the Franks, coming over the rivers in its unprotected north-eastern corner, and making themselves masters of a far wider territory, broke up into two kingdoms ¿ that of the Eastern Franks in what is now Germany, and that of the Western Franks reaching from the Rhine to the Atlantic.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Not the least interesting and important of the many great eruptions of 1848 was the revolution which broke out in Vienna early in the month of October. Indeed, it may be said that in a great measure the fate of at least continental Europe hung upon the upshot of this mighty struggle. Nearly six months have now elapsed since this conflict took place, and still, to the best of my knowledge, no account of the exciting scenes which occurred there have yet appeared before the public, with the exception of one or two letters published in the newspapers of the time. The following short narrative contains the substance of a journal written on the spot. It describes only the events of which I was an eye-witness, and is not encumbered with reflections, which I leave my readers to make for themselves. This book is a reprint of the original publishe in 1849.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Of all Machiavelli's works The Prince is undoubtedly the greatest; and a new English edition of it is likely to be welcome to all those who have not the advantage of reading it in the classical Italian original.It is customary for those who wish to gain the favour of a prince to endeavour to do so by offering him gifts of those things which they hold most precious, or in which they know him to take especial delight. In this way princes are often presented with horses, arms, cloth of gold, gems, and such-like ornaments worthy of their grandeur. In my desire, however, to offer to your Highness some humble testimony of my devotion, I have been unable to find among my possessions anything which I hold so dear or esteem so highly as that knowledge of the deeds of great men which I have acquired through a long experience of modern events and a constant study of the past. The results of my long observations and reflections are recorded in the little volume which I now offer to Your Highness: and although I deem this work unworthy of Your Highness's notice, yet my confidence in your humanity assures me that you will accept it, knowing that it is not in my power to offer you a greater gift than that of enabling you to understand in the shortest possible time all those things which I have learnt through danger and suffering in the course of many years.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -'The 'Catechism of Musical Instruments,' while dealing primarily with the compass, the technical possibilities, and the aesthetic effects of the single instruments, concerns itself also with the more important and usual combinations of instruments into special contrasting groups (strings, wood wind, brass), and makes occasional references to the role these groups as well as the single instruments play in the Orchestra and the Ensemble. It is thus the subtitle 'Guide to Instrumentation' is justified. If, therefore, in the present little volume I give a special introduction to Instrumentation, a few explanatory remarks may be required.In the first instance, then, it is easy to see that the fundamental difference of arrangement, the diversity in the starting point and in the total treatment of the material, makes this book a kind of practical application and proof of the former.'

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -'Many medical men, who had previously held themselves aloof from psycho - analysis, have been brought into close touch with its theories through their service with the army compelling them to deal with the question of the war neuroses. The reader can easilygather from Ferenczi's contribution to the subject with what hesitation and misgivings this advance was made. Some of the factors, such as the psycho-genetic origin of the symptoms, the significance of unconscious impulses, and the part that the primary advantage of being ill plays in the adjusting psychical conflicts ('flight into disease'), all or which had long before been discovered and described as operating in the neuroses of peace time, were found also in the war neuroses and almost generally accepted. The war neuroses, in so far as they differ from the ordinary neuroses of peace time through particular peculiarities, are to be regarded as traumatic neuroses, whose existence has been rendered possible or promoted through an ego-conflict. In Abraham's contribution there are plain indications of this ego-conflict; the English and American authors whom Jones quotes have also recognised it. The conflict takes place between the old ego of peace time and the new war-ego of the soldier, and it becomes acute as soon as the peace-ego is faced with the danger of being killed through the risky undertakings of his newly formed parasitical double.'

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -'VIENNA bread is not now so popular in this country as it was a few years ago, and the reason for this probably is that the publicknows now what to expect when it asks for this article. You can humbug the great British public for a time, but sooner or later - generally sooner - it (like your sins) finds you out. The British public has found that the Vienna bread it has been buying generally has been a delusion and a snare, and to a great extent it steers clear of it now. It is unfortunate that the British baker should lose any chance of turning an honest penny, but when we say that in many places Vienna bread is nothing more than a piece of tin loaf dough shaped long, hacked with a knife, baked, and smeared over with bill-stickers' paste, then the only wonder is that the great B.P. did not find it out long ago. But what is Vienna bread Let us give a definition. Vienna bread is to common bread what the light Continental confections are to solid slab cake and plum pudding. It is not a bread fit for appeasing the appetite of a farm labourer. It is the bread of breads, with a sweet milky nuttiness about it which makes one think involuntarily of golden wheatfields and lowing kine.'

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -From the preface by Henri Kling:'The present Method is intended both for the Natural or Stop-Horn and for the Valve or Ventil-Horn. In order to obtain a thorough mastery in horn playing, it is extremely advisable to begin with the study of the Natural Horn, for the purpose of acquiring the true quality of tone characteristic of the instrument and which is attained by but few hornists. They generally treat the instrument as though it were a Cornet a pistons or a trombone, thereby depriving it of its genuine character. Some of the pieces contained in this work are written for two horns, to enable pupils to play both parts alternately and thus become acquainted with the entire compass of the instrument; the reasonable compass, that is, as it has been established by the most eminent professors. The pupil should only attempt those pieces which are proportionate to his powers and study the exercises contained in the present 'School' consecutively, in the order in which they are presented. 'Short practices often repeated' - the maxim of the celebrated hornist Dauprat - shall also be our own motto. 'As soon as the lips are getting fatigued and the tone becomes uncertain', practice should be discontinued.' Contents of this Method for the Horn: 3 Designs: The manner of holding the horn Preparatory Exercises on tone production The Tongue-Stroke Short Exercises on the Tongue-Stroke Duets The 'stopped' or closed Notes The tones of the Ventil-horn Easy Popular Airs (Volkslieder) for the development of taste and expression Transposition Major and minor Scales Exercises for Natural horn, on the diatonic scale Exercises on the lntervals Exercises on the chromatic Intervals Exercises on the chromatic scale Slurred Notes Duets The Embellishments in Music Easy and Progressive Exercises Exercise for sustaining the tone Exercises on the scale of C major Scales in different Keys Divided chords Thirty Exercises for Articulation Simultaneous Production of double and triple Tones The Production of the Echo Practical Hints to the Orchestral Artist Six Characteristic Studies Six grand Preludes Supplement: Difficult orchestral passages to be met with in Symphonies and OperasBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The radiance of a clear September morning lay over Vienna. The air was so pure that the sky shone in brightest azure even where the city's buildings clustered thickest. On the outskirts of the town the rays of the awakening sun danced in crystalline ether and struck answering gleams from the dew on grass and shrub in the myriad gardens of the suburban streets.It was still very early. The old-fashioned steeple clock on the church of the Holy Virgin in Hietzing had boomed out six slow strokes but a short time back. Anna, the pretty blonde girl who carried out the milk for the dwellers in several streets of this aristocratic residential suburb, was just coming around the corner of the main street into a quiet lane. This lane could hardly be dignified by the name of street as yet, it was so very quiet. It had been opened and named scarcely a year back and it was bordered mostly by open gardens or fenced-in building lots.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -On November 6, 1817, died the Princess Charlotte, only child of the Prince Regent, and heir to the crown of England. Her short life had hardly been a happy one. By nature impulsive, capricious, and vehement, she had always longed for liberty; and she had never possessed it. She had been brought up among violent family quarrels, had been early separated from her disreputable and eccentric mother, and handed over to the care of her disreputable and selfish father. When she was seventeen, he decided to marry her off to the Prince of Orange; she, at first, acquiesced; but, suddenly falling in love with Prince Augustus of Prussia, she determined to break off the engagement. This was not her first love affair, for she had previously carried on a clandestine correspondence with a Captain Hess. Prince Augustus was already married, morganatically, but she did not know it, and he did not tell her. While she was spinning out the negotiations with the Prince of Orange, the allied sovereign ¿ it was June, 1814 ¿ arrived in London to celebrate their victory. Among them, in the suite of the Emperor of Russia, was the young and handsome Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In this little book the attempt has been to trace Greek History so as to be intelligible to young children. In fact, it will generally befound that classical history is remembered at an earlier age than modern history, probably because the events are simple, and there was something childlike in the nature of all the ancient Greeks. I would begin a child¿s reading with the History of England, as that which requires to be known best; but from this I should think it better to pass to the History of Greece, and that of Rome (which is of course in preparation), both because of their giving some idea of the course of time, and bringing Scripture history into connection with that of the world, and because little boys ought not to begin their classical studies without some idea of their bearing. I have begun with a few of the Greek myths, which are absolutely necessary to the understanding of both the history and of art. As to the names, the ordinary reading of them has been most frequently adopted, and the common Latin titles of the gods and goddesses have been used, because these, by long use, have really come to be their English names, and English literature at least will be better understood by calling the king of Olympus Jupiter, than by becoming familiar with him first as Zeus.
