        Geliebte Clara

        Die Geschichte von Clara und Robert Schumann

        by Wolfgang Held

        Helma Sander-Brahms hat das Leben der Clara Schumann verfilmt: "Es geht um eine hochbegabte, eine geniale Frau im Konflikt zwischen Karriere, Mann und Kindern, die sich gegen ihren Willen opfern muß, um das Leben um sich zu erhalten." Als Robert Schumann die neunjährige Clara Wieck kennenlernt, ist er noch ein unbekannter Musiker und sie bereits ein umjübeltes, selbstbewußtes Wunderkind. Während der Ehe stellt sie ihre Begabung in den Dienst ihres Mannes, spielt seine Konzerte in ganz Europa, ohne dabei jedoch ihre Unabhängigkeit als Künstlerin aufzugeben. Nach dem frühen Tod von Schumann entwickelt Clara tiefe Zuneigung zu Johannes Brahms, der dem Ehepaar bereits viele Jahre freundschaftlich verbunden war.

        Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c.1420–1520

        by Andrew Brown, Graeme Small, Rosemary Horrox, Simon Maclean

        This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony. ;

        »Schlage nur eine Weltsaite an«

        Briefe 1828–1855

        by Robert Schumann, Karin Sousa, Karin Sousa, Rüdiger Görner, Karin Sousa

        Ach ja – von den Schmerzen und Freuden, die die Zeit bewegen, der Musik zu erzählen, dies, fühl ich, ist mir vor vielen Andern zuerteilt worden.« Robert Schumanns Lieder und Klavierstücke, seine Orchesterwerke und Kammermusik zählen zu den bedeutendsten Werken der musikalischen Romantik. Seine Liebe zu Clara Wieck ist ein Stoff, aus dem Filme gemacht wurden. Aber neben Mendelssohn ist Schumann wohl auch der gebildetste und wortgewandteste aller romantischen Komponisten. Die Musikkritiken, die er, der nach einer Fingerlähmung die Pianistenkarriere aufgeben mußte, in seiner Neuen Zeitschrift für Musik schrieb, zeugen von seinem avancierten musikalischen ebenso wie literarischen Geschmack. Seine Briefe verfügen über ein breites Spektrum an Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten: von der lyrischen Emphase bis zur analytischen Schärfe. Der Band enthält ausführliche Anmerkungen, ein Namenregister sowie Verzeichnisse der Briefe und der Werke Robert Schumanns. Diese Briefausgabe ist die einzige derzeit lieferbare Auswahlausgabe. Sie dokumentiert alle wichtigen Stationen in Schumanns Leben und Schaffen – die Entscheidung für den Musikerberuf, erste Erfolge, den Kampf um die Liebe seines Lebens – in Briefen an die Familie, an Freunde und Musikerkollegen und natürlich an Clara.

        The Detention Pros

        by Kirsten John/Miryam Specht

        Clara, Julian, Felix and Fee must have done something bad, because they are waiting for a severe punishment: detention. “Detention” is actually the wrong word. In fact their task is to get the school garden into shape, which includes the fountain with non-stop snapping turtles. But oh, shock horror! First of all, Felix digs up a skull. Then several suspicious looking men turn up, alleging that they are sports teachers. Could this be the cover-up of a murder? And what is the grumpy housemaster Kratzek hiding? In order to find out just what is going on at the closed school, the four detainees must stick together at all costs – and that is the biggest adventure of them all.

        Processes that Shape the Earth, Third Edition

        by Sophia Chen and David M. Thompson, Ph.D.

        On Earth, nothing is still. Mountains rise and fall. Tides ebb and flow. Even the continents themselves are on the move. Beneath the surface, a restless engine powers earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the shifting of continents. Above ground, the sun causes the wind to howl, rain to pour, rivers to churn, and oceans to swell with waves. Processes That Shape the Earth, Third Edition surveys these forces and the ways they sculpt the planet. The modern theory of plate tectonics is introduced, along with other pertinent topics in physical geology. Several chapters add relevant historical context, presenting readers with fascinating discussions of Earth's origin, its history over billions of years, and the recent changes that have resulted from human activity.
