The compositions united here provide a good overview of the diversity of the variation genre in Beethoven’s early piano works – and present such moderate technical demands that even advanced beginners might try their hand at them. Beethoven found the models for these variations in popular song collections (WoO 64 on a Swiss song), contemporary opera performances (WoO 70 on “Nel cor più non mi sento” by Giovanni Paisiello), and his own compositions (WoO 77 on a theme from the finale of Piano Sonata op. 22). The revised musical text of the Henle Urtext edition, with its extensive preface and commentary section, was prepared on the basis of the Critical Report in the Beethoven Complete Edition and is published as a stand-alone edition from “Variations for Piano I/II” (HN 1267 and 1269). Ian Fountain provided the fingerings.

When he switched from the harpsichord to the fortepiano in the 1780s, Joseph Haydn found he had a rich palette of sound colours and dynamic variations at his disposal, and he employed them enthusiastically in his C-major Fantasy. This piano piece, composed in early 1789 in a “whimsical hour”, was intended by Haydn to meet with approval from “both connoisseurs and amateurs” – not least because it is “not too difficult”. Christine Schornsheim provides historically accurate fingerings. This stand-alone edition follows the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition, and provides an ideal means for players to get to grips with Haydn’s experiments with the sounds of the piano.

New York Times Bestseller These inspirational teachings show that the real way of the warrior is based on compassion, wisdom, fearlessness, and love of nature.

The story of David and Goliath existed in antiquity in two variant literary editions, a short version found in the Greek tradition of Codex Vaticanus (LXXB) and a longer version found in the Hebrew tradition of the MT. Benjamin J. M. Johnson proposes that each version is worthy of study in its own right and offers a close literary reading of the narrative of David and Goliath in the Greek text of 1 Reigns 16-18. The author explores a method for reading the Septuagint that recognizes it is both a document in its own right and a translation of a Hebrew original. In offering a reading of the septuagintal version of the David and Goliath narrative, the literary difference between the two versions of the story and the literary significance of the Greek translation are highlighted.

M. R. James was born in Kent, England in 1862. James came to writing fiction relatively late, not publishing his first collection of short stories - Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904) - until the age of 42. Modern scholars now see James as having redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and he is seen as the founder of the 'antiquarian ghost story'. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions with a brand new introductory biography of the author.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti has influenced American culture like few other poets. But in 1955, shortly before he would gain fame as the beloved author of A Coney Island of the Mind, he was an unpublished and mostly unknown poet.

A lavishly illustrated edition of Murakami's classic story. Katagiri found a giant frog waiting for him in his apartment. It was powerfully built, standing over six feet tall on its hind legs.

In his last years, Scriabin realized a noble and great idea. Inspired by his study of theosophical writings, he dreamed of joining music, poetry, mime, architecture, light, colour and even aromas to create a “Gesamtkunstwerk”, and thus elevate human beings to a higher level of consciousness. This “Mysterium” was never completed, but his late piano sonatas – conceived as preliminary studies – enable us to see what moved Scriabin. He spent a particularly long time working on his eighth sonata and proofread it intensively; but later quite a few mistakes still found their way into it. Thanks to the autograph and the first edition, ambiguous passages have now been cleared up and corrected in our Urtext edition.

Composed in Vienna in 1838 along with several other shorter pieces, Schumann’s Arabesque has found a permanent place in the general piano repertoire.

As a result, the Arabesque is a prime example of entertainment music in the best sense of the word. The musical text of this new edition has been thoroughly revised and provided with an informative preface and editorial notes.

The handbook on logic which the private lecturer G. B. Jäsche published in 1800 at the behest of Kant drawing on his records and also on lecture notes quickly became an integral part of Kant's works. It has found its way into all the complete editions and has again and again been used to interpret the ›Kritik der reinen Vernunft‹ (Critique of Pure Reason), which was written primarily with the logic as its guideline. Since the notes of Kant which Jäsche used were written over a period of about 40 years, his handbook reflects the fluctuations in Kant's thinking. Numerous contradictions contained in the text have their roots here. The circumstances described make a lexical interpretation of precisely this work necessary. The second volume of the Kant Index is the first attempt to provide an aid for a comparison of this nature. A completely lemmatized index of places where words can be found and concordance lines enable a quick overview of the text. Numerous separate indexes, a list of the reflections used by Jäsche as well as a list of typographical errors for Volume IX of the Academy edition provide further tools.
