Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The town of Plainfield, Wisconsin, is a nondescript and featureless landscape. The population has never exceeded 1,000 people. The Gein family, who lived on a one-hundred-ninety-five-acre spread some miles outside of town, were unusual in that they avoided their fellow Plainfielders at all costs. #2 The marriage of George and Augusta Gein was not a happy one. Augusta quickly assumed the role of domestic tyrant, laying down the law and berating her husband at every opportunity for his laziness, weakness, and lack of ambition. He, in turn, retreated into himself and into the bottle.

For two decades, beginning in the early 1870s, Robert Keller, music editor for N. Simrock Verlag in Berlin, worked with diligence and devotion to usher into print most of Johannes Brahms's major compositions, including all four of his symphonies, the Violin Concerto, the Double Concerto, the Second Piano Concerto, and numerous chamber, choral, and vocal works. This volume collects for the first time the complete extant correspondence between Brahms and Keller, as preserved in the collections of the Library of Congress and the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. To read their correspondence is to witness a relationship of mutual respect and increasing friendship and to gain an appreciation for the meticulous labor that went into the publication of Brahms's masterpieces. Keller’s admiration for the composer's genius was answered by Brahms's affection for Keller’s diligence and musical expertise. The vicissitudes of the publication process from composer’s manuscript to printed score are documented in fascinating detail. This edition includes a transcription of the letters in the original German.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Haines family was murdered in their house in Manheim Township, Pennsylvania, on May 12, 2007. The police believed that the killer knew the family, knew where they lived, and knew how to get into their house. They were certain that the family had been deliberately targeted. #2 The case was suddenly resolved on June 16, 2007, when a man named Timothy Kreider called the police and said that he knew the identity of the killer. He then offered up a suspect no one would have suspected, his 16-year-old son, Alec. #3 In 2008, Alec Kreider went on trial for three counts of first-degree murder. With his confession, backed up by substantial forensic and DNA evidence, he had very little option but to plead guilty and accept the consequences of his actions.
