Johannes Brahms’ summer sojourn in 1893 in Bad Ischl was productive. Alongside the pieces op. 118, he also wrote his last cycle of piano pieces, opus 119. The composer wrote to Clara Schumann of the opening work, saying that it was teeming with dissonances and that: “every measure and every note must sound like a ritardando, as if one wanted to suck the melancholy out of each single one, with lust and pleasure out of the aforementioned dissonances!” Yet opus 119 contains something for every mood: No. 3 surprises with its lively and light C major, and the cycle is completed with the defiant rhapsody in E flat major. Our revised edition, based on the Brahms Complete Edition, is an invitation to pianists to rediscover Brahms’ complex cosmos.

As with Schumann’s “Concert Piece for four Horns” op. 86 (HN 1138) Saint-Saëns’ “Morceau de Concert” was also composed with the idea of exploiting the technical possibilities of the new valve-horn mechanism. In this case, the French horn player Henri Chaussier provided the impulse. He had developed a novel “Cor omnitonique” and wanted to demonstrate the merits of his instrument with Saint-Saëns’ composition. Chaussier’s invention did not gain acceptance amongst horn players – although the “Morceau de Concert” did! The popular work with one movement is quite demanding technically; however, Saint-Saëns himself already suggested some abridgements and ossias to simplify the piece, meaning that also advanced pupils can venture to play it.

He might've enjoyed backing me into corners in high school when no one was looking, so they wouldn't catch on that Mr. Popular actually wanted a piece of that quiet, little nerd he loved to torture so much, but ... He could also be warm. And fierce in keeping me safe. The truth is ... He has a right to hate me. It's all my fault. And I regret nothing. WILL: I never minded being locked up. I learned a long time ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. Their only mistake is believing anything I do is an accident. I can sit in this house with no Internet, television, liquor, or girls, but I'll come out of here with something far more frightening to my enemies. A plan. I just didn't expect one of my enemies to come to me. I can smell her hiding in the house. She's here. Blackchurch houses five prisoners. I'm only one of her problems. Contains mature themes.

A BRAND NEW flirty, addictively steamy billionaire romance from Rachael Stewart.Perfect for fans of Nicole Snow and Ilsa Madden-Mills. Taylor I wanted a baby - no strings, no messy emotions. Just a donor I could trust - my best friend. He didn't hesitate or ask why. He said yes... with one condition: no clinics, no cold procedures. Just him - his bed, his way. I should have said no. But I wanted this. And I didn't realise how much I wanted him. I told myself I could handle it - keep my heart locked tight. But the moment he touched me, all those lies fell apart. Now I'm falling - for a man who never promised me anything but his body. And my deepest desire risks becoming my darkest downfall. But now there's no turning back. Axel She asked me to give her a baby. No love. No future. Just a piece of me. I'm not a good man. I'm not the kind you build a life with. But this... this was my one chance to touch heaven and pretend it wouldn't burn me alive. So I took her. Over and over. Knowing she'll never be mine. But now I'm addicted. Possessive. I don't want just her body - I want her soul. Her future. Her everything. And when she walks away - like we both know she will - it'll break me. Because I'd give her the world... But I'll never be worthy of it.

'A fine and powerful piece of work... Dark, at times cryptic, and hugely energetic' Irish Times "No!" is the first word of this haunting novel. It is how a middle-aged Hungarian-Jewish writer answers an acquaintance who asks him if he has a child, and it is how he answered his wife years earlier when she told him that she wanted one. The loss, longing and regret that haunt the years between these two 'No!'s give rise to one of the most eloquent meditations ever written on the Holocaust. As Kertész's narrator addresses the child he couldn't bear to bring into the world, he takes readers on a mesmerising, lyrical journey through his life, from his childhood to Auschwitz to his failed marriage.

Ullrich Scheideler has edited one of Mendelssohn’s most important and beautiful piano works, comparing it again with the sources. Henle Publishers is now issuing it in a revised edition with his comprehensive commentary. The sparkling bravura piece was called an “Etude” in the first version of 1828. Two years later Mendelssohn wanted to present the work to the young piano virtuoso Delphine von Schauroth, whom he was courting at the time. He reworked it under the new title “Rondo capriccioso”, making it even more brilliant and adding a “moving introductory adagio” (thus described in a letter to Fanny). In this form, the work still presents all good pianists with a rewarding challenge.

HIS WEAKNESS She only wanted the truth. He wanted to protect her. But some secrets were never meant to come to light. Sofia Bellini has spent her entire life trying to forget her family's past. But when she returns to Sicily, a series of events begins to shake everything she has ever believed in. Then she meets Matteo. Dangerous. Controlled. Unpredictable. A man who carries secrets of his own, yet somehow makes Sofia feel safer with him than anywhere else. A connection forms between them-one that should never have existed. And the closer Sofia gets to Matteo, the deeper she is pulled into a world of power, loyalty, betrayal, and violence. But Matteo knows more about her past than he is willing to tell her. And Sofia begins to remember. A night ten years ago. A gunshot. A man. And Matteo. As old family rivalries reignite and people from her past resurface, Sofia is forced to realize that she cannot trust anyone unconditionally-not even the man she is falling in love with. Because Matteo is not just the man who wants to protect her. He is part of the truth Sofia has spent her entire life running from. And when she finally begins putting the pieces together, she discovers: Sometimes the most dangerous person isn't the one you were warned about. But the one you give your heart to. His Weakness - a dark romance about forbidden feelings, family secrets, power, betrayal, and a love stronger than the truth.

In this volume are to be found many small but pleasing piano pieces by the 19th-century composer Stephen Heller. The majority are of only medium difficulty, but their sound always has a particular charm. In 1853 Heller wrote to his publisher that he “had not sought to write many words” here, but wanted to suggest something “substantial and meaningful” in “just a few strokes”. Our volume provides valuable insights into Heller’s artistic development and is entirely devoted to the “character piece”, a form that comprises the major part of his compositional output. Examples include “Die kleine Bettlerin” [The little beggar-girl], “Nach erquickender Rast” [After a refreshing rest] and “Weinendes Kind” [Crying child] – scenes that conjure up and express a particular mood. As Ursula Kersten writes in her preface, Heller’s music already makes one think of Impressionism, and repays the effort involved in getting to know the composer of this volume more closely.

Some love stories are written in the stars, theirs was written in silence. When Evie's life seemingly shatters in a day she expects her brother to come running. The last person she expects to show up is Matteo Valenti. Her brother's best friend. Her childhood crush. The man she's loved in silence since she was a little girl. What Evie doesn't know is that Matteo has spent a lifetime loving her right back. With nowhere else to turn, Evie reluctantly lets Matteo help pick up the pieces of her broken world. But for Matteo, being there for her isn't a burden, it's everything he's ever wanted. The chance to be the one she leans on. The one she trusts. The one she loves. And this time, neither of them can ignore the tension that's been simmering between them for over twenty years. But while Matteo is determined to help her find her spark again, Evie carries the weight of a devastating secret, one powerful enough to destroy everything. Because some wounds cut deeper than anyone can see and even Matteo's unwavering love might not be enough to save the woman he's spent a lifetime wishing upon every star.

And something far darker lurks beneath the chaos, waiting to seize control. Hyacinth never asked for this power, never wanted to bear the weight of a war that could consume them all.

A deliciously witty and inspiring memoir by One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz about her decade in a cult and her quest to break free. In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to breakthrough as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her career was about to take off, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show's millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult. An only child who often had to fend for herself and always wanted a place to belong, Lenz found the safe haven she'd been searching for in a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives. However, the group soon morphed into something more sinister - a slowly woven web of manipulation, abuse and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family. Piece by piece, Lenz began to give away her autonomy, ultimately relocating to the Family's Pacific Northwest compound, overseen by a domineering minister who would convince Lenz to marry one of his sons and steadily drained millions of her TV income without her knowledge. Family 'minders' assigned to her on set, 'Maoist struggle session'-inspired meetings in the basement of a filthy house, and regular counselling with 'Leadership' were just part of the tactics used to keep her loyal. Only when she became a mother did Lenz find the courage to leave and spare her child from a similar fate. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help of a One Tree Hill super-fan), she finally managed to escape the family's grip and begin to heal from the deep trauma that forever altered the course of her life. Written with powerful honesty and dark humour, Dinner for Vampires is an inspiring story about the importance of identity, faith and independence.

In this steamy age-gap, forbidden-love, grumpy/sunshine, tattooed cowboy romance for fans of Lyla Sage, Bailey Hanna, and Elsie Silver, a woman flees her life in L.A. for a tiny Montana cabin, not expecting she'll be forced to share such a small space with the one man she definitely should not be fantasizing about: the gruff, former bull rider who is her adopted uncle. I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL THIS WAY . . . I never wanted to disappear more than while I was around my family. Briar Lane, the girl useful for one thing: my last name. A business handshake and pawn to be traded. My father's chess piece shuffled between empires. That was my life back in L.A., but all it took was finding the dirty secret stuffed in a jacket pocket, and my entire world unraveled. I fled to the one place I knew they could never find me-Crimson Ridge. Arriving in this harsh, snowy world, I thought I'd be starting over on my own, but it turns out the abandoned mountain cabin I inherited isn't what it seems. This mountain hides secrets. An ex-pro bull rider who consumes this space, and now my every thought . . . Stôrmand Lane-my father's adopted brother. We should never have found ourselves isolated out here in the mountains together, each trying to outrun our pasts. All it took was one misunderstanding, one line almost crossed.

He might be my every fantasy, a cowboy I constantly dream about, but he's a temptation I have to ignore. A man I absolutely cannot find myself attracted to. Long, dark nights in this tiny cabin . . . there's no excuse to step into forbidden territory. Or can they?

A poignant collection of short pieces about the author's hometown, St. Petersburg, Russia, and the siege of Leningrad that combines memoir, history, and fiction. Living Pictures refers to the parlor game of tableaux vivants, in which people dress up in costume to bring scenes from history back to life. It&rsquo s a game about survival, in a sense, and what it means to be a survivor is the question that Polina Barskova explores in the scintillating literary amalgam of Living Pictures. Barskova, one of the most admired and controversial figures in a new generation of Russian writers, first made her name as a poet she is also known as a scholar of the catastrophic siege of Leningrad in World War II. In Living Pictures, Barskova writes with caustic humor and wild invention about traumas past and present, historical and autobiographical, exploring how we cope with experiences that defy comprehension. She writes about her relationships with her adoptive father and her birth father about sex, wanted and unwanted about the death of a lover about Turner and Picasso and, in the final piece, she mines the historical record in a chamber drama about two lovers sheltering in the Hermitage Museum during the siege of Leningrad who slowly, operatically, hopelessly, stage their own deaths. Living Pictures introduces a startlingly daring and original new voice from world literature.

Even the author of DUNE-the best-selling science fiction novel of all time-had trouble getting published. At first. Frank Herbert wanted to be a writer, and though today his name is practically synonymous with world-building and epic science fiction, Herbert didn't start out with a particular genre in mind. He wrote mainstream stories, mysteries, thrillers, mens' adventure pieces, humorous slice-of-life tales. And, yes, some science fiction. For the first time, this collection presents 13 completed short stories that Frank Herbert never published in his lifetime. These tales show a great breadth of talent and imagination. Readers can now appreciate the writing of one of the field's masters in a kaleidoscope of new stories. "For the first time this collection publishes many different genre short stories by the acclaimed author of the novel DUNE. It is a rarity that we get to see the many different types of tales the author wrote that until now were never published. Fans of Frank Herbert will love to discover these newfound treasures and will like this author even more than before." - Gary Roen, Midwest Book Review
