String Quartets
This research guide is an annotated bibliography of sources dealing with the string quartet. This second edition is organized as in the original publication (chapters for general references, histories, individual composers, aspects of performance, facsimiles and critical editions, and miscellaneous topics) and has been updated to cover research since publication of the first edition. Listings in the previous volume have been updated to reflect the burgeoning interest in this genre (social aspects, newly issued critical editions, doctoral dissertations). It also offers commentary on online links, databases, and references.
Between Time and Space
In new regional history, national states are not seen to play a special role. Regions are understood as evolutionary processes in which time and space—history and geography—are connected in research questions. To illustrate the entanglement of time and space in various forms and ages, this volume explores regional history from around the globe. The editor’s review of the various works written under the heading of regional history serves as an introduction to this theme. This volume shows how historical events and changes have influenced the reproduction of regions in Czechia; it will also highlight how regional identities were manifested in a cultural form in romantic operas of post-Na...
Kubrick's Mitteleuropa
Stanley Kubrick was arguably one of the most influential American directors of the post-World War II era, and his Central European Jewish heritage, though often overlooked, greatly influenced his oeuvre. Kubrick's Mitteleuropa explores this influence in ways that range from his work with Hungarian and Polish composers Bela Bartok, György Ligeti, and Krzysztof Penderecki to the visual inspiration of artists such as Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, and other central European Modernists. Beyond exploring the Mitteleuropa sensibility in Kubrick's films, the contributions in this volume also provide important commentary on the reception of his films in countries across Eastern Europe.

The Symphony and Symphonic Thinking in Polish Music Since 1956
1956 was a year of transition in Poland, and an important year for Polish music. This year saw the beginning of a political thaw – sometimes called the Polish October – in communist Poland. It was also the year of the establishment of the 'Warsaw Autumn' International Festival of Contemporary Music. This was a time of great artistic ferment in Polish music, which also deeply influenced symphonic thinking. The year 1956 is thus an appropriate starting point for Beata Bolesławska’s study of the contemporary Polish symphonic tradition. Bolesławska investigates the influential Polish avant-garde, illuminating the ways in which new musical means and ideas influenced symphonic music and th...
Polnische Komponisten bei den Internationalen Ferienkursen für Neue Musik Darmstadt um 1960
1957 nahmen polnische Komponisten erstmals an den berühmten Darmstädter Ferienkursen teil, nachdem sie jahrelang von der musikalischen Entwicklung des Westens isoliert gewesen waren. Diese polnisch-westlichen Begegnungen und die musikalischen Anregungen im Werk polnischer Komponisten beleuchtet die vorliegende Studie. Angesichts des sich zuspitzenden Kalten Krieges war der Besuch der polnischen Künstler in Westdeutschland nicht ohne Brisanz. Während auf politischer Ebene kaum ein Dialog möglich war, ereignete sich im Bereich der zeitgenössischen Musik ein lebendiger Austausch zwischen Polen und der westlichen Avantgarde über den Eisernen Vorhang hinweg. Dafür mussten zahlreiche Hürden überwunden werden, die Begegnungen bedeuteten jedoch gleichzeitig eine immense Bereicherung für beide Seiten. In der Arbeit werden strukturelle Aspekte der polnisch-westlichen Begegnungen – Entwicklung der Beziehungen, Teilnehmer, Programmeinbindung, bürokratische Hürden – wie auch die Rezeption westlicher Kompositionstechniken durch polnische Komponisten untersucht.
