Ludwig, Caroline Rothauge, Karsten Ruppert, Eric Sangar, Anuschka Tischer, Christian Wenzel
Music at German Courts serves to illustrate the extraordinary diversity of eighteenth-century German court music establishments without losing sight of what these Kapellen had in common. What was musical life at German courts really like during the eighteenth century? Were musical ensembles as diverse as the Holy Roman Empire's kaleidoscopic political landscape?

Some of you will wonder how can health be forbidden, because initially it does not make any sense at all. This book is the result of many years of data collecting about allegedly incurable diseases by the bio-physicist Andreas Kalcker, who dares to speak the truth, offering solutions where there were none until now. After recovering from a disease deemed incurable himself, he has been able to find out the lowest common denominator to all diseases and the reason behind such an effective therapeutic response that raises polemic among the conventionalists. This book contains everything one needs to set out on a new paradigm about their physical and psychic wellness, at the same time that they d...
When originally published in 1933, this classic work listed for the first time the names of the early Palatines of New York State, the original settlers of the Mohawk Valley, known as the "Gateway to the West." The estimated 20,000 names are classified, combined, and otherwise arranged to enable the researcher to identify Palatine immigrants in relation to specific categories of records. Among the important lists of names are the following: (1) The Kocherthal records of baptisms, marriages, and deaths, 1708-1719; (2) Palatine heads of families, from Gov. Hunter's Ration Lists, 1710-1714; (3) Lists of Palatines in 1709 (the four London lists of emigrants from Germany, most of whom emigrated to America); (4) Palatines remaining and newly arrived in New York, from the colonial census of 1710; (5) Names of Palatine children apprenticed by Gov. Hunter, 1710-1714; and (6) Various lists of Palatines in the colonial militia of New York.
