The historic encounter around 1911 between the composer Arnold Schönberg and the painter Wassily Kandinsky occurred at a moment when the first wild revolts against traditional art, Dada and Futurism, had just manifested themselves.

Both artists had already submitted their modes of production to a critical analysis which resulted in Schonberg's Theory of Harmony and Kandinsky's Concerning the Spiritual in Art , both of 1911 - indeed the two artists had already been putting their self-criticism into practice for some time.

Originally published in 1966, the Reeseschrift remains one of the most significant collections of musicological writings ever assembled. Its fifty-six essays, written by some of the greatest scholars of our time, range chronologically from antiquity to the 17thcentury and geographically from Byzantium to the British Isles. They deal with questions of history, style, form, texture, notation, and performance practice.

Protagonista assoluto della prima metà del Novecento, Arnold Schönberg rivoluzionò la stessa concezione di musica. La sua figura è stata tanto amata quanto detestata, suoi epigoni si sono affollati per decenni sui palchi di tutto il mondo, ma se la sua posizione nella storia della musica rimane indiscutibile, oggi la sua opera è meno eseguita che in passato. Personaggio sfaccettato, in costante conflitto con il pubblico conservatore e con l'antisemitismo, strenuamente convinto d...
This book contains the proceedings of the 1989 Ada-Europe conference. These meetings constitute the most significant events in this field within Europe, and attract delegates from around the world. The theme of this year's conference is design methods; this is of major importance since both Ada compilers and the applications built with Ada are huge. Papers in this volume, which have all been carefully refereed, study the design methods within Ada, and how they may need to be augmented with additional methods and tools where necessary. They make informed and essential reading for all involved in the use of Ada in industry and research.
