The Atonal Music of Arnold Schoenberg, 1908-1923
ISBN: 9780195128260 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

In this book, Bryan Simms combines a historical study with a close analytical reading of the music to give us a new and richer understanding of Schoenberg's seminal work during this...

Print Culture and Music in Sixteenth-Century Venice
ISBN: 9780195141085 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Bridging the gap between music and other disciplines, Bernstein demonstrates here that the role of a music printer can be discussed as part of the larger cultural and economic question of the success of a commercial enterprise.
