Download or read book Beyond Bach written by Andrew Talle and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverence for J. S. Bach's music and its towering presence in our cultural memory have long affected how people hear his works. In his own time, however, Bach stood as just another figure among a number of composers, many of them more popular with the music-loving public. Eschewing the great composer style of music history, Andrew Talle takes us on a journey that looks at how ordinary people made music in Bach's Germany. Talle focuses in particular on the culture of keyboard playing as lived in public and private. As he ranges through a wealth of documents, instruments, diaries, account ledgers, and works of art, Talle brings a fascinating cast of characters to life. These individuals--amateur and professional performers, patrons, instrument builders, and listeners--inhabited a lost world, and Talle's deft expertise teases out the diverse roles music played in their lives and in their relationships with one another. At the same time, his nuanced re-creation of keyboard playing's social milieu illuminates the era's reception of Bach's immortal works.

Aber da ihre dunklen Kräfte stark zunehmen und ihr Aufstieg kurz bevorsteht, muss Quinns Blutrache zugunsten ihres eigenen Überlebens warten. Lazarus Fierté ist ein Adliger ohnegleichen. Er ist ebenso kontrollsüchtig wie stur und hat die letzten sechs Jahre auf eine Frau gewartet – aber nicht auf irgendeine Frau. Eine dunkle Maji mit großer Macht, die zu schrecklichen Dingen fähig ist. Sie könnte der Schlüssel zu allem sein, was ihm lieb und teuer ist. Seine Retterin … oder seine Zerstörerin. Das Einzige, was er nicht vorhergesehen hat, ist, dass sie beides werden würde.

Ludlow's job is to neatly transcribe the confessions in an ancient leather-bound tome: The Black Book of Secrets. Ludlow yearns to trust his mentor, who refuses to disclose any information on his past experiences or future intentions.

Download or read book Reichspersonal written by Anette Baumann and published by Böhlau Verlag Köln Weimar. This book was released on 2003 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was hat das Alte Reich im Innersten zusammen gehalten? Waren es die Reichsinstitutionen wie beispielsweise das Reichskammergericht, der Reichshofrat und der Reichstag? Oder waren es die Reichsgrundgesetze wie der Westfälische Friede? Einen entscheidenden integrativen Faktor des Alten Reiches stellten gewiss die Personen und Personengruppen dar, die Aufgaben und Funktionen für Kaiser und Reich wahrnahmen. Inwieweit besaßen diese Personen eine spezifische Mentalität, die über das Zugehörigkeitsgefühl zu einer Reichsinstitution hinausging? Diesen und anderen Fragen gehen die Autoren nach, wobei das Spektrum der Beiträge von den Reichskammergerichtsboten, über Anwälte an den beiden höchsten Gerichten bis zu den kaiserlichen Kommissaren am Reichshofrat reicht.
Download or read book Die deutsche Pr senz in den USA written by Josef Raab and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2008 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas the cultural and political influence of the U.S. on Europe and Germany has been researched extensively, the impact of more than 6 million German immigrants on U.S.-American history and culture has received far less scholarly attention. Therefore this volume addresses a wide range of areas in which a German presence has been manifesting itself in the U.S. for more than three centuries. Among the disciplines involved in this broad analysis are linguistics, literary studies, history, economics, musicology as well as media studies and cultural studies.
Download or read book Erz hlkultur written by Hans-Jörg Uther and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das elektronische Zeitalter hat mehr oder weniger alle Bereiche der Wissenschaft revolutioniert und vor neue Aufgaben gestellt. Erfolgreich hat auch die kulturwissenschaftliche Erzählforschung den Übergang vom traditionellen Studium handschriftlicher oder gedruckter Texte hin zu einer Forschung vollzogen, die den Kontext der Erzählung genauso einbezieht wie weitere Medien, etwa das Internet. Als das Aushängeschild solcher moderner Erzählforschung gilt seit vielen Jahrzehnten die ,,Enzyklopädie des Märchens", deren umsichtig konzipierte Artikel Internationalität und Interdisziplinarität garantieren. Eine namhafte Gruppe von Autorinnen und Autoren dieser Enzyklopädie präsentiert nun in deutsch- und englischsprachigen Aufsätzen einen Querschnitt aktueller Theorien, Methoden und Forschungsfelder der kulturwissenschaftlichen Narratologie. Da sich die moderne Erzählforschung auch mehr und mehr soziokulturellen Fragestellungen der Gegenwart zuwendet, kommen neben traditionellen Erzählgenres wie Märchen und Sagen auch neue Inhalte und Formen des alltäglichen Erzählens wie Lebensgeschichten, Rechtfertigungserzählungen und das Erzählen im Internet in den Blick.

Download or read book Babylon Berlin written by Volker Kutscher and published by Picador. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BASIS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TV SENSATION BABYLON BERLIN "Cabaret on cocaine...captures the dark glamour of a briefly exhilarating time between the wars." --NPR Babylon Berlin is the first book in the international-bestselling series from Volker Kutscher that centers on Detective Gereon Rath caught up in a web of drugs, sex, political intrigue, and murder in Berlin as Germany teeters on the edge of Nazism. It’s 1929 and Berlin is the vibrating metropolis of post-war Germany—full of bars and brothels and dissatisfied workers at the point of revolt. Gereon Rath is new in town and new to the police department. When a dead man without an identity, bearing traces of atrocious torture, is discovered, Rath sees a chance to find his way back into the homicide division. He discovers a connection with a circle of oppositional exiled Russians who try to purchase arms with smuggled gold in order to prepare a coup d’état. But there are other people trying to get hold of the gold and the guns, too. Raths finds himself up against paramilitaries and organized criminals. He falls in love with Charlotte, a typist in the homicide squad, and misuses her insider’s knowledge for his personal investigations. And as he gets further entangled with the case, he never imagined becoming a suspect himself. “The first in a series that’s been wildly popular in Germany is an excellent police procedural that cleverly captures the dark and dangerous period of the Weimer Republic before it slides into the ultimate evil of Nazism.”—Kirkus Reviews “Conjures up the dangerous decadence of the Weimar years, with blood on the Berlin streets and the Nazis lurking menacingly in the wings.”—The Sunday Times (London) “James Ellroy fans will welcome Kutscher’s first novel and series launch, a fast-paced blend of murder and corruption sent in 1929 Berlin.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
