Um Schumanns letzte Lebensjahre, die er in der Nervenheilanstalt in Endenich bei Bonn verbrachte, ranken sich Geruchte, Legenden und Mutmassungen. Opfer dieser Spekulationen ist nicht zuletzt Clara Schumann. Ihr Verhalten wahrend dieser Zeit wird in popularen Lebensbeschreibungen haufig negativ bewertet. Die vom Komponisten Aribert Reimann im Archiv der Akademie der Kunste, Berlin, deponierten Krankenakten werden in diesem Buch erstmals ungekurzt veroffentlicht, durch weitere bisher unbekannte Quellendokumente erganzt und in einem medizinhistorischen Beitrag kommentiert. Diese Publikation liefert der biographischen, medizinischen, psychologischen und kulturgeschichtlichen Forschung erstmals ein serioses Quellenfundament. Eine der wichtigen Buchveroffentlichungen zum 150. Todestag von Robert Schumann am 29. Juli 2006.

Robert Schumanns Affinitat zur Dichtkunst, die sich besonders in seinen jungen Jahren in der Gestalt eigener Dichtungen aussert, ist bekannt. Die Texte seiner mehr als 300 Sololieder stammen jedoch bis auf wenige Ausnahmen nicht aus Schumanns Feder, sondern von namhaften Dichtern wie Heine und Goethe, bis zu unbekannt gebliebenen Dichtern aus Schumanns personlichem Umfeld; in einigen Fallen liegt die Identitat der Textdichter im Dunkeln und eine kleine Zahl von Texten stammt aus dem Bereich der mundlichen Uberlieferung. Ausgehend von den drei Fragen: Wer sind die Textdichter?, Wo findet Schumann die Texte? und Was geschieht bei der Vertonung mit den Texten? beleuchtet Krischan Schulte das dichterische Umfeld der Schumann'schen Vertonungen.

Blind Lemon Jefferson was a trail blazer, both as a singer and guitarist, but also as a commercial phenomenon, for he was the first blues musician to establish the tremendous appeal that blues, as played and sung by rural African American folk, had for the record-buying public. It is no exaggeration to say that the sales of Lemon’s records paved the way for a host of other solo rural blues musicians to record in his wake and made the record companies more willing to give other musicians a chance, in the hopes of achieving similar success. Lemon’s record sales weren’t what made him a great musician, though - that could only be attributed to his startlingly virtuosic guitar - playing and soulful singing, developed over years of busking, building on his natural gifts with a great deal of practice and work. In the Guitar of Blind Lemon Jefferson author John Miller presents transcriptions, in standard notation and tablature, of 22 of Lemon’s greatest performances, with an additional essay examining Lemon’s senses of time and phrasing and his picking techniques. Also included is a download link to all the original recordings. To present a picture of Lemon the man, noted blues researchers Alan Governar and Kip Lornell have contributed an essay focusing on Lemon’s early life, the origins of his music, and his time spent in a musical partnership with Lead Belly. Links are provided to downloadable performances of the songs in the book from which the transcriptions were made, so that you can have Lemon’s sound in your head as you learn to play his songs.Blind Lemon Jefferson was remarkable, even in a style that abounded in great musicians, and some measure of his influence can be seen in the fact that musicians recorded in the 1960s, more than thirty years after his death, were still covering his songs and stealing guitar licks from him. The Guitar of Blind Lemon Jefferson gives you the resources needed to learn what was so special about Lemon’s music, and to experience his musical excellence from inside the music itself.Titles include: One Dime Blues, Got The Blues, Dry Southern Blues, Big Night Blues, Rabbit Foot Blues, Shuckin' Sugar Blues, Where Shall I Be, Wartime Blues, Black Horse Blues, Prison Cell Blues, Piney Woods Money Mama, See That My Grave Is Kept Clean, He Arose From The Dead, Beggin' Back, Broke And Hungry, Bad Luck Blues, Matchbox Blues, Lemon's Worried Blues, That Crawlin' Baby Blues, Easy Rider Blues, Stocking Feet Blues and Right of Way BluesLevel 2/3 • 160 pages • Direct download link to audio files.

The Richard Wagner Complete Edition presents the composer's entire output for the first time in a reliable form. The conductor Michael Balling, in the early years of the 20th century, attempted to make Wagner's work more accessible for research and performance, but the edition only reached 10 volumes - some with grave shortcomings - and was discontinued after Balling's death in 1925. A further attempt at a complete edition by Otto Strobel was abandoned at the preliminary stages.This third attempt at a complete edition will be the first scholarly, critical edition, based on an evaluation of all the accessible source materials and the latest findings of serious Wagner research. As the edition is also intended for practical performance, the musical text has been kept free of philological insertions; these are listed in the appendices of each volume in the Critical Commentary. Numerous, partly unpublished works - some relatively unknown - and variant versions are published here for the first time. The edition presents authentic texts for Wagner specialists and researchers and critically based performing materials. Contrary to widely held opinions, even the well-known works of Wagner are not necessarily available in reliable editions. The genesis, history and performances directed by Wagner himself are extensively documented so as to present as complete an image as possible of Wagner's compositional intentions.
