Carl Czerny

Summary

"25 Progressive Studies for Small Hands, Op. 748" by Carl Czerny, first published in 1844, represents a significant contribution to piano pedagogy, especially for those with smaller hands. Czerny, a renowned pianist and teacher and a student of Beethoven, was known for his didactic works that have become staples in piano education. This particular set of studies exemplifies his commitment to making piano technique accessible to all, regardless of physical constraints.

These 25 studies are meticulously designed to cater to the needs of players with smaller hands, focusing on developing fundamental skills without the need for extensive reaches. Each piece in this collection is crafted to progressively build the pianist's technical ability, offering a variety of challenges that enhance dexterity, control, and musical expression within a comfortable range for smaller hands.

Op. 748 is a testament to Czerny's understanding of the physical aspects of piano playing and his innovative approach to piano teaching. This collection is not only a tool for technical development but also a bridge that enables pianists with smaller hands to explore the vast repertoire of piano music with confidence and skill.

As we delve into these studies, we encounter a range of expressions and technical challenges, all thoughtfully composed to ensure musical growth while accommodating the unique requirements of smaller hands. This work remains an essential resource for piano students and teachers, embodying Czerny's enduring legacy in the realm of piano education.

The Akron Anthology

Jason Segedy

An evocative collection of essays, poetry, photography and more from some of Akron, Ohio’s best authors, artists, and activists. Between 1910 and 1920, Akron, Ohio, tripled in size, making it the fastest growing city in the United States. Its period of rapid growth coincided with the expansion of the rubber and tire industry, which in turn corresponded with the automobile boom. But since the mid-1970s, industry has abandoned Akron, and the city has lost thirty-one percent of its population. Once-opulent neighborhoods are now swaths of abandoned homes, and the factories that made Akron the Rubber Capital of the World lie dormant. Edited by Jason Segedy, and bringing together established writers like Rita Dove and David Giffels with the work of emerging voices, The Akron Anthology collects essays, poems, and photographs from the writers, artists, and activists who call Akron home. Here you’ll find stories that include:  The diaries of a doorman  The trials and triumphs of refugees who have relocated to the city  A portrait of Jamie Stillman, world-renowned effects pedal manufacturer  Archie the talking snowman.

Encargos comunes (inglés)

Fabiola González, Yair Estay

"Encargos Comunes" se presenta como un proyecto editorial que resume, a partir de tres obras de arquitectura, la práctica e investigación desarrollada por la oficina de arquitectura Taller25 en torno a esta profesión y su vínculo con la clase media contemporánea chilena. Estas obras identifican y visibilizan tres demandas sobre la vivienda: una Construcción nueva, una Reforma y una Ampliación, realizadas en comunas que normalmente se conocen como "Pericentrales" y "Periféricas" de la región Metropolitana (Lo Prado, San Bernardo y Maipú), cuyos mandantes o dueñas/os se inscriben en lo que estadísticamente se define como la clase media, transformándose así en un compendio atípico dentro de la disciplina de la arquitectura. De esta manera, la publicación propone una discusión crítica sobre la producción de la vivienda, y no de cualquier vivienda, sino de las más comunes de todas y, paradójicamente, menos abordadas desde el campo editorial y de divulgación en el área, como pueden ser las operaciones sobre la vivienda de y para los sectores medios.

Art History Romantism

Léon Rosenthal

Romanticism was a reaction against the Neoclassicism that invaded the 19th-century, and marked a veritable intellectual rupture. Found in the writings of Victor Hugo and Lord Byron among others, its ideas are expressed in painting by Eugène Delacroix, Caspar David Friedrich and William Blake. In sculpture, François Rude indicated the direction this new artistic freedom would take, endowing his work with a movement and expression never previously seen.
By retracing the different stages of its evolution, this book offers a study of the different aspects of the Romantic movement. Thanks to a thorough and in-depth analysis, the reader can understand in its entirety this movement which revolutionised the era.

Franz Marc 1880-1916

Franz Marc, Klaus H. Carl

Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a key figure in the German Expressionist movement of the early 20th century. Marc was a founding member of the expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter along with other great artists of the time: Wassily Kandinsky, August Macke, and Alexej von Jawlensky. A brilliant use of colour along with stark futurist and cubist styles create the distinct qualities that make Marc a master of modern art. Symbolising masculinity, femininity, and violence among his calm and bucolic animal subjects, Marc's unique and creative use of colour and meaning will forever have a firm place in art history.
