The String Quartet, 1750–1797
The second half of the eighteenth century witnessed a flourishing of the string quartet, often represented as a smooth and logical progression from first violin-dominated homophony to a more equal conversation between the four voices. Yet this progression was neither as smooth nor as linear as previously thought, as Mara Parker illustrates in her examination of the string quartet during this period. Looking at a wide variety of string quartets by composers such as Pleyel, Distler and Filtz, in addition to Haydn and Mozart, the book proposes a new way of describing the relationships between the four instruments in different works. Broadly speaking, these relationships follow one of four patte...

PLENUM
A sacrifice that altered the course of time Arthur Penn was a sucker for a lost cause. He rescued an old man from an ambush and carried him to a hospital, but he didn’t expect a one-way trip. He didn't expect to find himself fighting off an amorous girl a century before the Pilgrims land. And he certainly didn’t expect to be drafted into a bloody war raging across a thousand human centuries. Beautiful women. Brave men. Lonely machines. Terrifying aliens lost in a tunnel that connects every point in space and time. A ship that sails a universe so huge it can’t be described in human words. A lady who wants to be a mother. A true woman with a disturbing talent with an ax. All hang on courage of a hero who’d rather be in Chicago.

The Symphonic Repertoire, Volume II
Central to the repertoire of Western art music since the 18th century, the symphony has come to be regarded as one of the ultimate compositional challenges. Surprisingly, heretofore there has been no truly extensive, broad-based treatment of the genre, and the best of the existing studies are now several decades old. In this five-volume series, A. Peter Brown explores the symphony from its 18th-century beginnings to the end of the 20th century. Synthesizing the enormous scholarly literature, Brown presents up-to-date overviews of the status of research, discusses any important former or remaining problems of attribution, illuminates the style of specific works and their contexts, and samples...
