Histories and Narratives of Music Analysis

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.

Hope in All Directions
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. Join a truly inter-disciplinary and international community of scholars in their quest to understand a concept critical to human life.

From literature, to history, to film study, to philosophy, to social work, to theology, to pedagogy, to psychology, and, among others, to music, there is a discussion that is sure to whet the palate of almost any reader. If you find hope important, then this volume is essential.
Emerging Vectors of Narratology
Narratology has been flourishing in recent years thanks to investigations into a broad spectrum of narratives, at the same time diversifying its theoretical and disciplinary scope as it has sought to specify the status of narrative within both society and scientific research. The diverse endeavors engendered by this situation have brought narrative to the forefront of the social and human sciences and have generated new synergies in the research environment. Emerging Vectors of Narratology brings together 27 state-of-the-art contributions by an international panel of authors that provide insight into the wealth of new developments in the field.

Learn Faster, Perform Better

I did it because I was a diligent student and I knew it was expected of me, but I didn't quite see the point. My practice in those days consisted of getting out my instrument, playing through a few times the music my teacher had assigned, and then calling it a day. When I messed up, I'd start over, trying to play without the mistake. Or sometimes I'd repeat the spot where I had tripped up once or twice to correct the mistake, and then I'd just go on. Anything that wasn't immediately made better by these two methods was essentially ignored. Maybe my teacher won't notice that I can't really play that part, I thought"--
Composing Modernist Connections in China and Europe
Global modernisms are marked by tremendous transformations in lifestyle, historical consciousness, cultural values, ethics, wars, and crises. This book emphasizes modernist connections within literature, culture, history, and media beyond the nation state and the bifurcation between East and West. Instead of deconstructing and separating, Composing Modernist Connections in China and Europe composes and forges new combinations, linkages, and translations that place Chinese and European modernisms on an equal footing. This book features contributions on James Joyce, Stefan George, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Anna Seghers, Qian Zhongshu, Weimar labor modernism, Chinese wartime literature, Chinese movies in divided Germany, and Sinophone modernity among other subjects.
