Czerny - The art of finger dexterity for piano - Op 740

Carl Czerny

Synopsis

In the world of piano pedagogy, few names resonate as profoundly as that of Carl Czerny, a luminary who bridged the classical and romantic eras with his profound musical insights and pedagogical prowess. "The Art of Finger Dexterity, Op. 740," is a monumental work that encapsulates Czerny's dedication to the development of technical proficiency and musical expressiveness.
This collection of 50 studies is not merely an exploration of technical skill but a journey into the artistry of the piano. Czerny, a student of Beethoven and a teacher to Liszt, brings a unique blend of rigor and expressiveness, demanding precision and encouraging musicality. Each study is carefully crafted to focus on a particular aspect of piano technique, from the simplest to the most complex, making it an indispensable tool for pianists of all levels.
Op. 740 stands out for its balance of technicality and musicality. While it challenges the fingers, it also engages the mind and soul, offering a comprehensive approach to developing dexterity, strength, speed, and, above all, a nuanced touch. It is a testament to Czerny's belief that technical excellence serves as the foundation for expressive playing.
This edition aims to bring Czerny's timeless studies to the contemporary pianist. Whether a student embarking on the journey of piano mastery or a seasoned artist revisiting foundational techniques, "The Art of Finger Dexterity" offers both challenges and rewards. It is a reminder of the enduring power of disciplined practice and the endless possibilities of musical expression.
As you delve into these studies, may you find not only the development of your technical skills but also the enrichment of your musical journey, guided by the wisdom of Carl Czerny.

Almost Interesting - The Memoir

Anonyme

A hilarious and biting memoir from the actor, comedian and Saturday Night Live alumni David Spade. 
David Spade is best known for his harsh “Hollywood” Minute Sketches on SNL, his starring roles in movies like Joe Dirt and Tommy Boy,  and his seven-year stint as Dennis Finch on the series Just Shoot Me. Now, with a wit as dry as the weather in his home state of Arizona, the “comic brat extraordinaire” tells his story in Almost Interesting. 
First Taking fans back to his childhood as a wannabe cool younger brother and recounting his excruciating road-tour to fame—when he was regularly mistaken for a ten year-old, Spade then dishes about his time crisscrossing the country as a comedian, for low-paying gigs and dragging along his mother’s old suitcase full of props. He also covers his years on SNL during the beloved Rock/Sandler/Farley era of the 1990s, including his close working relationship and friendship with Chris Farley and brags about the ridiculous perks that fame has brought into his life, including the constant fear of being fired, a crazy ex-assistant who attacked him while he was sleeping, a run-in with Eddie Murphy on the mean streets of Beverly Hills, and of course an endless supply of hot chicks.   
Sometimes dirty, always funny, and as sharp as a tack, Almost Interesting reminds you why David Spade is one of our generation’s favorite funny guys.

The Art of Setting Stones - &...

Marc Peter Keane

Philosophical essays on the beauty and meaning of traditional Japanese gardens.
 
In Japanese gardens, composition follows from placement of the first stone; all elements and plantings become interconnected. These eight essays on Kyoto gardens similarly begin with keen description and build into richly meditative excursions into art, Buddhism, nature, and science. 
 
Landscape architect Marc Keane shows how Japanese gardens are both a microcosm of the natural universe and a clear expression of our humanity, mirroring how we think, worship, and organize our lives and communities. Filled with passages of alluring beauty, this is a truly transcendent book about "experiencing" Japanese design.

No Lasting City - Essays on...

Fritz Bauerschmidt

In No Lasting City, Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt collects essays written over a twenty-five-year period that explore the relationship between theology, politics, and culture. Drawing on the Christian theological tradition and engaging thinkers from Augustine and Julian of Norwich to Max Weber and Michel de Certeau, Bauerschmidt sketches a picture of faithful engagement with politics and culture that has robustly Christological contours. The stories of Flannery O’Connor, the paintings of the Flemish Primitives, the curricula of medieval universities, and modern accounts of mystical experience all serve as points by which the path of God’s pilgrim city is charted, as a way both of understanding our past and present and of orienting us toward our hoped-for homeland.
