Diese Arbeit, die in aktualisierter Neuauflage vorgelegt wird, zeichnet zunachst den UEberlieferungsweg der freien Orgelwerke Buxtehudes nach, von den verschollenen Autographen bis zu den erhaltenen, vielfach mangelhaften Abschriften. Besonderes Interesse gilt der Frage, welchen Anteil die beruhmten Zeitgenossen Pachelbel und Bach an der Verbreitungsgeschichte dieser Werke hatten. Im zweiten Hauptteil werden Probleme von Stil und Form, Authentizitat und Chronologie behandelt; auch Aspekte der Spielpraxis werden berucksichtigt. Damit stellt die Arbeit eine Erganzung zur kritischen Edition der Orgelwerke Buxtehudes dar.

Even in Beethoven's day the 'Moonlight' Sonata was a popular favourite. This 1999 book provides an accessible introduction to the Sonatas Opp. 27 and 31 (including The 'Moonlight' and 'The Tempest'), aimed at pianists, students, and music lovers. It begins with the works' historical background - the emergence of a 'piano culture' at the end of the eighteenth century, Beethoven's aristocratic milieu in Vienna, and his oft-quoted intention to follow a new compositional path. An account of the sonatas' genesis is followed by a discussion of their reception history, including a survey of changing performing styles since the mid-nineteenth century. The concept of the Sonata quasi una Fantasia is examined in relation to the cult of artistic sensibility in early-nineteenth-century Vienna. The study concludes with a critical introduction to each sonata.

Mozart's piano sonatas form a richly diverse and significant part of his instrumental output and span much of his mature composing career, thereby representing a microcosm of the composer's changing style. Part I examines the contexts in which the sonatas were composed and performed, and reviews likely sources of influence. Part II concentrates on the genesis of the sonatas and the sources, which reveals important information about Mozart's compositional process. In Part III the musical style is studied from the standpoint of rhetoric--a discipline featured in numerous contemporary aesthetic and theoretical textbooks on music.
