Mozart

By: Wolfgang Hildesheimer

In this definitive biography, Wolfgang Hildesheimer demythologizes Mozart, revealing him as a flawed and puzzling human being, but a matchless artist. Hildesheimer's fresh approach to the music itself, his telling quotations from Mozart's letters (Mozart was one of the greatest and most outrageous of letter writers), and his sympathetic but unsentimental insights make this a remarkably readable portrait of one of the most popular composers of all time. Book jacket.

A History of German Literature

From the Beginnings to the Present Day

By: Wolfgang Beutin,Klaus Ehlert,Wolfgang Emmerich,Helmut Hoffacker,Bernd Lutz,Volker Meid,Ralf Schnell,Peter Stein,Inge Stephan

Since the appearance of its first edition in Germany in 1979, A History of German Literature has established itself as a classic work used by students and anyone interested in German literature. The volume chronologically traces the development of German literature from the Middle Ages to the present day. Throughout this chronology, literary developments are set in a social and political context. This includes a final chapter, written for this latest edition, on the consequences of the reunification of Germany in 1990. Thoroughly interdiscipinary in method, the work also reflects recent developments in literary criticism and history. Highly readable and stimulating, A History of German Literature succeeds in making the literature of the past as immediate and engaging as the works of the present. It is both a scholary study and an invaluable reference work for students.

Vital Village

Development of Rural Areas as a Challenge for Cultural Policy / Entwicklung ländlicher Räume als kulturpolitische Herausforderung

By: Wolfgang Schneider,Beate Kegler,Daniela Koß,(eds./Hg.)

Due to global processes of transformation and the social challenges posed by demographic change, rural areas increasingly demand attention from politics and the public sphere. The contributions in this volume demonstrate how in different European countries it is mainly the cultural players who offer suggestions for an organization of the changing forms of communal life that is keeping with the times. The arts in particular have proven to be able of providing fresh impetus and new insights. This compendium of theory and practice combines outcomes of studies in cultural policy, introduces exemplary models and thus constitutes a first attempt at determining the position of innovative cultural work in rural areas. All essays both in English and German. Durch globale Transformationsprozesse und die gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen des demographischen Wandels rücken ländliche Räume immer mehr in den Fokus von Politik und Öffentlichkeit. Die Beiträge des Bandes zeigen für verschiedene europäische Länder, dass vor allem Kulturakteure relevante Anregungen für die zeitgemäße Gestaltung des sich verändernden Zusammenlebens geben. Insbesondere die Künste stellen dabei einen Nährboden für weiterführende Impulse dar. Dieses Handbuch für Theorie und Praxis führt Ergebnisse der Kulturpolitikforschung zusammen, stellt beispielhafte Modelle vor und wagt somit erstmals eine Positionsbestimmung innovativer Kulturarbeit in ländlichen Räumen. Alle Beiträge sind in Englisch und Deutsch enthalten.

Cosi fan tutte

By: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Cosi fan tutte

By: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

It was a treat so truly intellectual that every ear and every breast, susceptible of harmony and of impression, was gratified to a degree beyond our power to describe.' Thus reads one of the first London reviews of Cosi fan tutte. Its enigmatic mixture of a detached experiment in human foibles and a struggle of sincere emotions has often disturbed audiences. H.C. Robbins Landon observes, however, that Mozart's heartfelt music proves he is openly on the side of the angels - the ladies - not the deceivers, however cynical Da Ponte's words appear to be. Brian Trowell describes the sophisticated world in which the opera was conceived, while John Stone traces the origins of the libretto to Ancient Greece, medieval Italy and even to China. The text is certainly Da Ponte's most original work, and is here presented in Revd M.E. Browne's acclaimed translation, revised by John Cox.Contents: Mozart at the time of 'Cosi fan tutte', Brian Trowell; A Commentary on the Score, H.C. Robbins Landon; The Background to the Libretto, John Stone; A Performance History, Nicholas John; Cosi fan tutte: Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte; Cosi fan tutte: English translation by Marmaduke E.

"Proverbs Speak Louder Than Words"

Folk Wisdom in Art, Culture, Folklore, History, Literature and Mass Media

By: Wolfgang Mieder

This book presents a composite picture of the richness of proverbs as significant expressions of folk wisdom as is manifest from their appearance in art, culture, folklore, history, literature, and the mass media. The book draws attention to the fact that proverbs as metaphorical signs continue to play an important role in oral and written communication. Proverbs as so-called monumenta humana are omnipresent in all facets of life, and while they are neither sacrosanct nor saccharine, they usually offer much common sense or wisdom based on recurrent experiences and observations."--BOOK JACKET.
