This work encompasses a broad range of technical challenges and musical expressions, making it an essential tool for developing the skills required for virtuosic piano playing.
Carl Czerny, renowned as a pivotal figure in piano pedagogy and a student of Beethoven, has created in Op. 365 a comprehensive suite of exercises that not only focus on technical proficiency but also on musicality.

Diabolical Motherhood

Danel Olson

A collection of essays by female horror writers exploring portrayals of diabolical mothers in both modern and classic horror films.The concept of motherhood, often idealized as the epitome of unconditional love and nurturing, has been twisted and perverted in various cinematic works to explore darker, more complex human dynamics. Led by Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson Award, and two-time World Fantasy Award winning editor and acclaimed film professor Danel Olson, the essayists introduce listeners to traditional portrayals of mothers in film and literature, establishing a baseline for understanding how diabolical motherhood deviates from the norm.From a historical overview tracing the evolution of malevolent maternal figures in cinema, from early depictions of wicked stepmothers in fairy tales to the complex, to multifaceted monstrous matriarchs of contemporary films, these essays explore the psychological underpinnings of diabolical motherhood, drawing on author's personal experiences, anecdotes, and research to understand the motivations and mental states driving these characters in a wide range of horror films. The essays offer a deeper understanding of how cinema reflects and shapes our perceptions of motherhood, morality, and power. A must-listen for horror aficionados.

Films for All Seasons -...

Josh Larsen, Abby Olcese

The Spiritual Practice of Watching Movies
What's your favorite Christmas movie? Easter movie? Pentecost movie? Casual viewers and movie buffs alike have favorite movies to watch at certain times of the year. But for film critic Abby Olcese, movies with spiritual themes aren't just limited to the holiday season. They're part of a deep human need to connect our favorite stories to the natural rhythms of our lives, and to let them shape and give meaning to our experience of the seasons all year long.
The life of the church is also defined by stories, which we revisit through the pattern of the Christian year. In Films for All Seasons, Olcese invites us to reflect on the great themes of the church calendar through the lens of film. From superhero movies and Star Wars to classics and arthouse films, she chooses movies for each liturgical season and leads us through them with skill and infectious enthusiasm, exploring how each one can inform and deepen our appreciation of its corresponding season.
Films for All Seasons is more than just a book about movies—it's a model for how we engage with art as Christians.
Includes:

- Explorations of popular, classic, and arthouse films and how they relate to liturgical seasons
- Reflections on the great themes of the church calendar
- Discussion questions after each movie designed to facilitate discussion with small groups and friends
