Picturing Performance
There has long been a need to introduce performing-arts enthusiasts and students to the fascinating field of iconography, both as manifested in art history and in its more pragmatic or applied forms. Yet relatively little systematic effort has been made to collect and interpret centuries of such visual evidence in the light of the best available art-historical information, combined with corroborating textual documentation and insights from the histories of performance disciplines. Aspiring iconographers of the performing arts need to be aware that there are often several levels of interpretation which great works of visual art will sustain. This book explores these levels of interpretation: ...
Angels and the Order of Heaven in Medieval and Renaissance Italy

Selected Correspondence 1950-1984
Voegelin's Munich years, while not without controversy, can be seen as the most successful time in his life, as well as his most creative and prolific as a political philosopher. During that time, Voegelin worked on volume IV of Order and History, and the letters written to successive directors of the Louisiana State University Press, as well as to friends and colleagues, give a vivid account of the changing nature of this seminal project. Voegelin's letters written between 1969 and 1984 provide compelling evidence of the intellectual vigor that characterized his work throughout his life and continued virtually undiminished until the last weeks before his death. Voegelin's realism, his sharp wit, and his superbly developed sense of irony remain evident in the correspondence throughout all these years.
New York
Das mehrbändige Werk Quellen zur Geschichte emigrierter Musiker 1933-1950 verzeichnet Sammlungen von Dokumenten zur Musikgeschichte des Exils, die zum großen Teil bisher weder ediert noch in publizierten Verzeichnissen katalogisiert sind. Die Bände sind nach Regionen gegliedert: Band 1: Kalifornien liegt bereits vor, mit Band 2: New York wird ein weiterer wichtiger Schwerpunkt der Emigration erschlossen. Jeder Band erfasst Sammlungen von Dokumenten an Standorten der jeweiligen Region. Die Quellen -- z. B. Reisedokumente, Schriften, Verträge, Tagebücher, insbesondere aber Briefe -- werden inhaltlich über ein Schlagwortverzeichnis erschlossen. Erfasst sind Dokumente zur Verfolgung und zum Emigrationsweg, zum Wirken der Emigranten in ihrer neuen Heimat, zur Reflexion der Exilsituation, zu Ereignissen der Zeitgeschichte und nicht zuletzt zum Musikleben in der Emigration. Im Anhang jedes Bandes werden ausgewählte Quellen abgedruckt, die die Bedingungen des Exils und die unterschiedlichen Lebenswege der Musiker veranschaulichen.

American Luthier
From the time of Stradivari, the mysterious craft of violinmaking has been a closely guarded, lucrative, and entirely masculine preserve. In the 1950s Carleen Maley Hutchins was a grade school science teacher, amateur trumpet player, and New Jersey housewife. When musical friends asked her to trade a trumpet for a $75 viola, she decided to try making one, thus setting in motion a surprising career. A self-taught genius who went head to head with a closed and ancient guild, Hutchins carved nearly 500 stringed instruments over the course of half a century and collaborated on more than 100 experiments in violin acoustics. In answer to a challenge from a composer, she built the first violin octe...
