Summary

"School of the Virtuoso," Op. 365, by Carl Czerny is an advanced level collection of piano studies, specifically designed for advanced players. 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. This collection is significant because it goes beyond mere technical drills; it incorporates elements of expression and dynamics, integral to virtuosic performance.
Op. 365 consists of a substantial number of studies, each addressing different aspects of piano technique. The series is recognized for its rigorous approach to building finger strength, agility, and precision. The exercises are characterized by their complexity and the high level of skill they demand from the performer. As such, they are recommended mainly for advanced players who have already attained a significant level of proficiency at the piano.
These studies are not just technical exercises but are also musically engaging, making them beneficial for both technical development and interpretative practice. This dual focus is a hallmark of Czerny's educational compositions, where technical skill and musical expressiveness are seen as complementary aspects of piano playing.
"School of the Virtuoso" is an invaluable resource for pianists aspiring to reach higher levels of technical mastery and musical expression. It is a testament to Czerny's enduring influence in piano education and continues to be a vital part of the repertoire for advanced piano studies.

    It would be no exaggeration to say that James Dean has been more mythologized than any other actor in history, a development due more to his off-screen personality and conduct than the films he actually starred in. Much of Dean’s appeal derives from his humble and ordinary origins, and audiences are drawn to the romance of the Indiana farm boy who catapulted to the top of the motion picture industry in a single year — the same year that would see him die. 	Of course, James Dean remains well-known for being anything but humble and ordinary. As famous as his films are, Dean’s story is inextricably tied to his love for racing cars and his death in a high speed car crash.  
Marlon Brando. Few names in the acting profession evoke such a strong, almost visceral reaction. Over the course of his long, prolific career, he was considered perhaps the greatest actor of the 20th century as well as one of the most complicated and misunderstood. Uniquely able to be both emotionally charged and technically constrained in the same performance, he single-handedly changed the direction of not only the American style of acting, influencing successors such as Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and even Johnny Depp, but the acting profession on a global scale. His iconic interpretations of characters such as Stanley Kowalski (A Streetcar Named Desire), Terry Malloy (On the Waterfront) and Vito Corleone (The Godfather) have been forever burned into the collective memory of film and theatre aficionados, scholars and critics for their immense passion, rage, love, defiance, vulnerability, cruelty and tenderness – basically, the full spectrum of the human condition. With several Oscars and Golden Globes to his name, Brando’s contributions remain the gold standard of the acting craft, and the American Film Institute has listed him as the 4th greatest screen legend in history.

    Cigar-bands have sdorned cigars for more than 150 years. Until World War I they were produced and printed to the hightest quality using the best methods available, with the result that many cigar-bands of the time are genuine works of art. Images depicted on the bands are varied, but specific themes may be distinguished – flowers and foliage, for example, or heraldic ‘charges’, or of course portraits of contemporary rulers and celebrities. This book features nearly 1,800 cigar-bands drawn from the collection of Roger van Reeth, including some of the most beautiful, some of the rarest and some of the oldest. Their presence adds something special to what is already a special publication: the Flavour, perhaps, of a superb Havana cigar.

    No art form is as widely discussed—or as readily available—as music. With the click of just a few buttons, modern humans can decide what they think of the brand-new Beyoncé just as quickly as they can form opinions on Brahms or the Beatles or Bob Dylan. But things weren't always this way. In this brisk, breakneck history, award-winning musician and broadcaster Andrew Ford dives into the constant evolutions and reinventions that have led to the popularity and accessibility of modern music. Ford explores: 
 
 
 
● Why playing history's earliest example of notated music—clay tablets from 1400 BCE Syria—doesn't produce a consistent sound 
 
 
 
● How colonization and the slave trade led to one region in West Africa having an unparalleled influence on world music 
 
 
 
● How clerical and royal support allowed early composers to invent the symphony 
 
 
 
● What leads humans to make music in the first place—and why music plays such a massive role in our culture. 
 
 
 
The Shortest History of Music takes us on a lively tour through several thousands of years of music history, tracing our relationship with this essential art and allowing us to freshly appreciate and understand music today.
