"Transcriptions are an act of love. With these wonderful recordings Alan Weiss, with his brilliant artistry as well as extraordinary pianism, reveals the genre's endless possibilities." Martha Argerich "I'm looking forward to the publication of your transcriptions. I'm sure this will be a hit." Nelson Freire "Transcriptions of Alan Weiss are results of high culture, sophisticated knowledge and deep understanding of the nature of the piano and unique vision of a great artist." Sergei Babayan "Bach's birthday is even more special because of your violin sonata transcription." David Dubal When we first heard the piano transcriptions of Alan Weiss we had the impression of listening to the purest representation of the "Golden Age" of the great pianists from the past. All the flexibility and freedom of phrasing heard in historic performances by masters such as Sergei Rachmaninoff, Josef Lhevinne, Josef Hofmann, Alfred Cortot, Benno Moiseiwitsch, Rudolf Serkin and of course Vladimir Horowitz were alive right there in front of us. Not just because of the unique style and golden sonority of Weiss's playing, but especially due to the profound manner with which these transcriptions were conceived and written - a revival of the great tradition of those giants of the piano Those of Liszt, Tausig, Busoni, Godowsky and Horowitz were not just mere virtuoso adaptations, but wonderful re-creations; in fact it was about a truly new set of compositions that brought into the piano's domain works originally written for guitar, violin, choir etc. The primordial essence of these originals was not only respected, but, we must say: it was honored and transcended And we believe that Alan Weiss has joined this illustrious group in his own personal way: a real treasure from the beginning until the end that we feel as a duty to share with the world.

Alan Moore, Out from the Underground

Alan Moore, Out from the Underground

Maggie Gray

Springer International Publishing AG
2017
sidottu
This book explores Alan Moore’s career as a cartoonist, as shaped by his transdisciplinary practice as a poet, illustrator, musician and playwright as well as his involvement in the Northampton Arts Lab and the hippie counterculture in which it took place. It traces Moore’s trajectory out from the underground comix scene of the 1970s and into a commercial music press rocked by the arrival of punk. In doing so it uncovers how performance has shaped Moore’s approach to comics and their political potential. Drawing on the work of Bertolt Brecht, who similarly fused political dissent with experimental popular art, this book considers what looking strangely at Alan Moore as cartoonist tells us about comics, their visual and material form, and the performance and politics of their reading and making.

Alan Turing: Life and Legacy of a Great Thinker

Alan Turing: Life and Legacy of a Great Thinker

D. Hofstadter

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
2003
sidottu
Alan Turing's fundamental contributions to computing led to the development of modern computing technology, and his work continues to inspire researchers in computing science and beyond. This book is the definitive collection of commemorative essays, and the distinguished contributors have expertise in such diverse fields as artificial intelligence, natural computing, mathematics, physics, cryptology, cognitive studies, philosophy and anthropology. The volume spans the entire rich spectrum of Turing's life, research work and legacy. New light is shed on the future of computing science by visionary Ray Kurzweil. Notable contributions come from the philosopher Daniel Dennett, the Turing biographer Andrew Hodges, and the distinguished logician Martin Davis, who provides a first critical essay on an emerging and controversial field termed hypercomputation. A special feature of the book is the play by Valeria Patera which tackles the scandal surrounding the last apple, and presents as an enigma the life, death and destiny of the man who did so much to decipher the Enigma code during the Second World War. Other chapters are modern reappraisals of Turing's work on computability, and deal with the major philosophical questions raised by the Turing Test, while the book also contains essays addressing his less well-known ideas on Fibonacci phyllotaxis and connectionism.

Alan Lomax, the South, and the American Folk Music Revival, 1933-1969

Alan Lomax, the South, and the American Folk Music Revival, 1933-1969

Alan Lomax (1915-2002) is arguably the most popular and influential American folk song collector of the 20th century. Pursuing a mission of both preserving and popularizing folk music, Lomax moved between political activism, the scholarly world, and the world of popular culture. Based largely on primary material, the book shows how Lomax’s diverse activities made him an authority in the field of folk music and how he used this power to advocate the cultures of perceived marginalized Americans – whom he located primarily in the American South. In this approach, however, folk music became an abstract idea onto which notions oscillating between hope and disillusionment, fear and perspective were projected. The author argues that Lomax’s role as a cultural mediator, with a politically motivated approach, helped him to decisively shape the perception and reception of what came to be known as American folk music, from the mid 1930s to the late 1960s.

Alan Ayckbourn's "Season's Greetings" in the Comic Tradition

Alan Ayckbourn's "Season's Greetings" in the Comic Tradition

M a Oliver Baum

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1, University of Marburg (Institut f r Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: SE: "British Drama from the 1950s to the Present," 15 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This term paper deals with the placement of Alan Ayckbourn's Season's Greetings in the English comic tradition. Therefore, I will first put Ayckbourn's play within the historical context of the new drama, and subsequently define the term "comedy." Then, I will prove my thesis that Season's Greetings matches both conventionality and innovation with regard to comedy. In this way, I will also investigate in how far Season's Greetings as comedy contains both farcical and tragic elements, and suits other subgenres of comedy, too. Likewise, I will analyse how Ayckbourn makes use of the comic in Season's Greetings, and discuss if he continues the comic tradition with a new emphasis with regard to the assumption that he, like Shakespeare, writes plays for the spectator rather than the reader, among other things. In the conclusion, I will recap and reconsider the principal theses of my term paper and give my own diagnosis about Ayckbourn's drama. My thesis matters in so far that "the continuing life that ...] comedies have ...] justifies our study of the genre ...]." Besides, English comedy has "the longest, most continuous generic tradition in Western literature," in which its tendency to the meta-theatrical achieves an awareness of the comic tradition onstage (cf. Leggatt 2). Anyway, it is meaningful that serious issues of everyday life are treated in a comic way.

Rezension / Literaturbericht aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Kulturwissenschaften - Sonstiges, Note: 1,2, Westf lische Wilhelms-Universit t M nster (Seminar f r Volkskunde / Europ ische Ethnologie), Veranstaltung: Nationale Stereotypen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der amerikanische Volkskundler Alan Dundes sorgte durch unbequeme Thesen Zeit seines Lebens f r zahlreiche Kontroversen. "Sie mich auch " (engl.: "Life is like chicken coop ladder") ist dabei sein wohl umstrittenstes Werk. Dundes untersucht anhand zahlreicher Beispiele aus Literatur, Musik und Historie den deutschen Nationalcharakter, und kommt dabei zu einem unangenehmen Ergebnis: Der typische Deutsche sei analfixiert, von F kalien besessen und durch einen zwanghaften Reflex zur Reinlichkeit von jeder Form des Drecks heimgesucht. Die Arbeit fasst die Thesen des Buches anhand ausgew hlter Beispiele zusammen, diskutiert dessen Auswertung und bt Kritik.
