Il Jazz: un gioco da ragazzi nasce da una rilettura critica del Jazz, della sua evoluzione e delle sue caratteristiche fondanti, volta ad individuare dei presupposti pedagogici trasferibili in una didattica che privilegi l'ascolto, il gioco e la creatività, senza togliere spazio alle tradizionali attività dell'educazione musicale. Il percorso si sviluppa in tre capitoli. Il primo, di carattere sostanzialmente analitico, è incentrato sulle cosiddette “Mentalità Jazz”, da intendere come predisposizione alla fantasia, alla socializzazione e al coinvolgimento emotivo, tipiche della prassi jazzistica e presenti naturalmente nella quotidianità e nelle doti dei ragazzi.

La locura siempre ha vivido en el lado oscuro de nuestra sociedad. Nuestra historia atestigua épocas de encierro, rechazo, miedo o puro morbo en torno a las personas que tienen un trastorno mental. El cine, siempre interesado en retratar el alma humana en toda su complejidad, nos ha abierto una ventana a las vidas de esos locos, de sus familias, de los tratamientos a los que han sido sometidos y del contexto social en que han tenido que vivir. Relatos que reflejan sufrimiento y dolor, pero también superación y conciliación. Este libro presenta 50 de esas historias, 50 narraciones llenas de seres imperfectos pero a la vez geniales que viven la realidad a su manera. Porque la locura no es única y tiene muchas caras, y el cine ha sido capaz de retratar muchas de ellas.

Throughout the western classical tradition, composers have influenced and been influenced by their students and teachers. Many musicians frequently add to their personal acclaim by naming their teachers and the lineage through which they were taught. Until now, the relationships between composers have remained uncataloged and understudied, but with enough research, it is possible to document entire schools of composition. Composer Genealogies: A Compendium of Composers, Their Teachers, and Their Students is the first volume to gather the genealogies of more than seventeen thousand classical composers in a single volume. Functioning as its own fully cross-referenced index, this volume lists composers and their dates, followed by their teachers and notable students. A short introduction presents the parameters by which composers were selected and provides a survey of the literature available for further study. Gathering records and information from reference books, university websites, obituaries, articles, composers’ websites, and even direct contact with some composers, Pfitzinger creates a valuable resource for music researchers, composers, and performers.
