For readers at least moderately familiar with the theory of analyzing volatile aroma compounds, an introduction to the wide range of techniques for analyzing chiral molecules. They include chiroptical methods such as polarimetry, optical rotation dispersion and circular dichroism; liquid, gas, super

In 1990, the SFB (Sonderforschungsbereich) entitled "Selektive Reaktionen Metall-aktivierter Molekule" was established at the University of Wurzburg to promote efficient cooperation between various fields of chemistry and physics. An essential ingredient of this interdisciplinary research project is the periodic holding of meetings in order to present actual results and recent trends in organometallic chemistry and related areas. The third international symposium was held at the Chemical both from academia and industry. In plenary lectures provided by reputated invited scientists and posters contributed by the members of the SFB 347 a broad spectrum of actual results obtained in selective metal catalysis, organometallic synthesis, bioorganic reactions, physico-chemical and theoretical studies on organometallic compounds and intermediates has been covered. This volume presents a useful insight in the recent trends and will stimulate further progress in the field."

This was Mozart's last work, commissioned by a mysterious stranger whose identity remains unrevealed to this day. This 1984 performance at the Herkulessaal in Munich, features the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, led by Sir Colin Davis. The soloists include Peter Schreier, Edith Mathis and Gwynne Howell.

Documentary exploring what life was like for classical musicians in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) after the division of Germany in 1945. Used to advertise the merits of the GDR, classical music was portrayed by the authorities as representative of a culture-loving working people, in direct contrast to the 'decadent', westernised pop music of the day. Those musicians who were not only gifted but also displayed the correct ideological values were able to enjoy privileges beyond the reach of the masses. Through interviews with musicians active at the time, both in the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany (FDR), the film compares and contrasts the lives of those involved, and provides an insight into the way the political system influenced artistic life.
