The Forms of Music

By: Donald Francis Tovey

Sir Donald Francis Tovey was born in 1875, Donald Francis Tovey was a British musicologist and composer. He took classical honors with his B.A. at Oxford in 1898, and became a pianist of the first rank, though he never sought a virtuoso career. This book contains all the articles which Tovey wrote for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, as they now appear there, with the exception of one on 'Modern Music' and the biographies. The book was set up from printed slips, and thus follows the text finally approved and corrected by the author. The very long musical examples are printed in full. In book form, a few minor alterations have been necessary, mostly in the excising of references, and the bringing of the 'printer's style' into line with that of Tovey's other books. An occasional slip in the musical examples has been corrected.

The Well-Tempered Clavier

48 Preludes and Fugues

By: Johann Sebastian Bach,Donald Francis Tovey

A monument in the history of Western music, The Well-Tempered Clavier represents not only the culmination of J. S. Bach's own maturation process but also the impetus for the emerging style and structure of modern keyboard music. Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin were influenced by its polyphonic richness and depth of harmony, and Schumann counseled young musicians to "make The Well-Tempered Clavier your daily bread." Modern pianists can follow Schumann's advice with this new edition of an authoritative and long-out-of-print score that offers illuminating perspectives from a pair of eminent musical interpreters. Book II of this two-volume set features Sir Donald Francis Tovey's analyses of 24 preludes and fugues, including suggestions for performance. In addition to commentaries by Tovey, a lauded Bach scholar and world-famous musicologist, the pieces are complemented by fingerings devised by Harold Samuel, a major Bach interpreter. Students, teachers, and professionals will appreciate this finely engraved and modestly priced version of Bach's enduring works.

Godfather of Time

By: Donald Wilmoth

This book is the result of communications between the world of spirit and the world of matter. These communications reveal that the cellular metamorphosis of Adam, meaning all mankind, is the effect of the transgression of divine law in the Garden of Eden, a garden of spiritual growth. It encompasses all human forms as original sin and causes man to exist within a dual consciousness. This does indeed explain the deviation from harmony, a broken pattern of the monotype energy force, which reversed the thinking process of our consciousness pertaining to the right and left side of the physical brain. It is identified as the primary impulse that set in motion an endless chain reaction. Our supreme consciousness became partly expressed--or, let us say, veiled in the manifestation, which acknowledged thought only pertaining to personal embodiment, the five physical senses. Medical science does acknowledge the fact that man uses only a portion of the physical brain. the unused portion of the brain deals with the portion of our consciousness that is controlled by spiritual energy and left dormant. the uncontrolled vagaries of energy which were the five physical senses divided and separated the consciousness.
