Hans Von Bülow
Hans von Bülow is a key figure in 19th century music whose career path was as broad as it was successful. Music history's first virtuoso orchestral conductor, Bülow created the model for the profession-both in musical brilliance and in domineering personality-which still holds forth today. He was an eminent and renowned concert pianist, a respected (and often feared) teacher and music critic, an influential editor of works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Chopin, and Beethoven, and a composer in a variety of musical genres. As a student and son-in-law of Franz Liszt, and estranged friend of Richard Wagner (for whom his wife Cosima famously left him), Bülow is intricately connected with the canonical...
German Women for Empire, 1884-1945
When Germany annexed colonies in Africa and the Pacific beginning in the 1880s, many German women were enthusiastic. At the same time, however, they found themselves excluded from what they saw as a great nationalistic endeavor. In German Women for Empire, 1884–1945 Lora Wildenthal untangles the varied strands of racism, feminism, and nationalism that thread through German women’s efforts to participate in this episode of overseas colonization. In confrontation and sometimes cooperation with men over their place in the colonial project, German women launched nationalist and colonialist campaigns for increased settlement and new state policies. Wildenthal analyzes recently accessible Colo...

Musikalische Interpretation Hans von Bülow
Hans von Buelow (1830-1894) war der einflu�reiche Propagator der "modernen" Musik Liszts und Wagners, sp�ter der m�chtige Vork�mpfer fuer die "konservative" Richtung von Brahms; seine Bedeutung fuer die Beethoven-Rezeption kann kaum hoch genug veranschlagt werden. Es wird gezeigt, wie Buelows musikalische Praxis im Verein mit Hugo Riemanns wissenschaftlicher Theoriebildung an der Herausbildung einer Musikauffassung beteiligt war, die schlie�lich im fruehen 20. Jh. als �berzeugung von der �sthetischen Vorherrschaft der deutschen Musik und einer an ihr auszubildenden Analysemethodik zu einer breiten und historisch folgenreichen �ffentlichen Geltung gefunden hat. "� eine grundlegende, alles bislang auf diesem Gebiet erschienene uebersteigende Studie" �sterreichische Musikzeitschrift "Hinrichsens Buch erm�glich wichtige Einblicke in die Musikpraxis und Kulturpolitik des 19. Jahrhunderts und erweist sich dadurch als eine spannende Publikation ueber die Wurzeln der zeitgen�ssischen Musikkultur." Opernwelt "Hinrichsens perspektivenreiche Untersuchung ist ein eindringlicher Beitrag zu einem Paradigmenwechsel der deutschen Musikwissenschaft." FAZ .
Breaking the Fortress Line, 1914
Breaking the Fortress Line 1914 offers a fascinating new perspective on the German offensive against France and Belgium in 1914. In graphic detail it describes the intense fighting that took place around the forts and fortified cities that stood in the path of the German invasion. The ordeal began with the German assault on the mighty fortress of Lige. They took twelve days to batter their way through the 'Gateway to Belgium', losing thousands of men in repeated frontal assaults, and they had to bring up the heaviest siege artillery ever used to destroy the defences.This is the epic struggle that Clayton Donnell depicts in this compelling account of a neglected aspect of the battles that fol...
