"Pure gold." thus the New York Times described the playing of Leonard Rose, the most successful American-born cellist of his generation. Rose's knowledge of the instrument was unsurpassed. Every phrase of every piece he recorded-his legacy-continues to sparkle with meaning. His Beethoven and Brahms were noble in style, favoring huge dynamic contrasts and rhythmic freedom. His Schumann and Schubert each had a semblance of epic beauty. His Bach could be transcendently romantic and powerful. His signature concerti had a consistency, accuracy, and no-nonsense approach. And, notably, he performed works by living American composers, a tendency many of his peers shunned. This book examines the multifaceted American cellist and the classical music context that dominated Rose's twentieth century. Professionally, the era during which he achieved greatness and the direction he chose to pursue could not have been musically richer. While Leonard Rose is a more than worthy solo biographical subject, he felt that the story of his inordinate contact and collaboration with his era's most renowned musicians was especially valuable for posterity. So my aim in this volume was to showcase Rose among the countless musical figures he affected and those who affected him.

Musical score to Huwuld Nyui, for Mezzo-Soprano or Baritone and Two Percussionists, by avant-garde composer Dawn K. Williams. The work is a setting of a Pima poem by Ha-ata, a song to the wind.

The composer worked on this symphonic poem from January to April of 1896. The title refers to a Czech folk ballad in which a king falls in love with Domicka while riding and requests his step-mother to bring the young woman back to his castle. The evil step-mother and her daughter kill the hapless girl, with the daughter disguises herself as Domicka, marrying the king just before his departure to war. A magician finds Domicka's remains in the forest and tricks the false bride to give up the missing part of Domicka's remains in return for a Golden Spinning Wheel. The work was premiered in London on October 26, 1896 with Hans Richter conducting the London Symphony. This new study score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the full score first published in 1958 by the Czech State Publishers as part of the Dvorak collected works, edited by Jarmil Burghauser. Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable.

Long admired for his interpretation of Bach's six Sonatas and Partitas for unaccompanied violin, Jaap Schroeder, a leading international soloist, here provides a detailed but informal guide to their performance. Bach's sublime solo violin works have long been central to the baroque music repertoire. No serious violinist can avoid studying them, and few concert artists can resist the temptation of performing them. This is a book for advanced students and performers. Using it is an experience akin to a master class conducted by a uniquely accomplished practitioner. The text is devoted almost entirely to practical matters-bowing, phrasing, ornamentation, tempi, and so on. Schroeder strongly recommends the use of a baroque violin and, especially, baroque bow, but his interpretive insights and suggestions are equally applicable to modern violinists.

Over the past quarter century, music studies in the academy have their postmodern credentials by insisting that our scholarly engagements start and end by placing music firmly within its various historical and social contexts. In Music and the Politics of Negation, James R. Currie sets out to disturb the validity of this now quite orthodox claim. Alternating dialectically between analytic and historical investigations into the late 18th century and the present, he poses a set of uncomfortable questions regarding the limits and complicities of the values that the academy keeps in circulation by means of its musical encounters. His overriding thesis is that the forces that have formed us are not our fate.
