7 German Folksongs

In 1894 Johannes Brahms published his collection 'Deutsche Volkslieder mit Clavier-Begleitung', where his aim was to combine folksongs with a sophisticated musical approach. Nevertheless he strove to maintain the simple, forthright expressiveness of text and melody and mirror it in his accompaniment. As the guitar was originally an instrument of the people, the present arrangements should be 'in tune' with the composer's intentions.

Berceuse For Janey

Carol Klose has taken one of classical music's most familiar melodies and fashioned a masterpiece of her own, sure to be a recital favorite. Over a gently-rocking figure (quarter-note parallel-4ths) in the left hand, the right hand sings Brahms' Lullaby. As the piece progresses, inner-voice sixteenth notes in the right hand, colorful scale passages, and the rocking motif, now transformed into a tolling bell, are among the refined touches in this imaginative piece. Mary Cassatt's Mother and Her Child graces the front cover.

Book of Musical Anecdotes, The

Here is one of the most enjoyable and illuminating books ever published for the music lover. There are stories of appetites (Handel eating dinner for three), embarrassments (Brahms falling asleep as Liszt plays), oddities (Bruckner's dog being trained to howl at Wagner), and devotions (a lovely admirer disrobing in tribute to Puccini). There are memorable accounts of Stravinsky telling Proust how much he hates Beethoven, of Tchaikovsky's first bewildering telephone call, of Dvorak's strange love of pigeons, and of Verdi's intricate maneuvering to keep the now-famous melody of La donna e mobile top secret. Collected from thousands of books, articles and unpublished manuscripts, these anecdotes appear in their original form, throwing fresh light on familiar figures in the musical hall of fame. Author Norman Lebrecht writes on music and other arts for the London Sunday Times.
