Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume of Ricardo Iznaola’s monumental Summa Kitharologica trilogy is, according to its author, “a playbook for self-guided discovery” in matters related to the expressive interpretation of music. Its 26 short pieces in all keys, in versions for solo guitar and guitar duo, present the reader with an ample array of musical styles and technical procedures that serve as so many opportunities for exploration of the fascinating and complex growth process that brings the player from basic acquaintance with a score to masterful assimilation of its contents. As the distinguished British guitarist and pedagogue Jonathan Leathwood remarks in his Foreword to the book, at this point, the player “is so at one with the score that they can stretch it – and occasionally contradict it – without ever betraying its essential meaning,” attaining that “desirable imprecision” proposed as a marker of ultimate mastery by cellist and pedagogue Pedro de Alcántara, as Leathwood reminds us. The musical contents are complemented by brief epigraphs preceding each solo miniature, ranging from the factual to the poetic, whose purpose is to anchor the music in an evocative, affect-charged context that may hopefully stir the player’s imagination, as will the excellent recordings by Laura Husbands and the Arabesque Duo. Additional commentaries in the Working Notes section, in the appendix, and in the afterword deal with topics as diverse as mental practice, synesthesia, musical peak experiences, prosody and rhythm theory, the hazards of a performing career, and the performer’s need for (and the challenges of) introspective self-assessment. Throughout, the book advocates, as its core thesis, the importance of a questioning stance: “what if…” as the path to discovery through changes in points of view, a consistently variable perspectivist approach, in which comparison and evaluation of multiple alternatives, rather than prescriptive pre-ordained solutions, is taken as the foundation for true understanding. Volume 3 of Summa Kitharologica, Handbook of Comparative Fingering Analysis, completes the set with a comprehensive analytical overview of guitar fingering strategies since the early 19th century.

Download or read book Freedom and the Captive Mind written by Wallace L. Daniel and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom and the Captive Mind is a biography of Fr. Gleb Yakunin, the first Orthodox priest to adopt an ecumenical approach to Russian Orthodoxy, earning him the enmity of conservative groups within the Church and gratitude from other religious denominations. Father Yakunin believed the survival of the Church depended on its willingness to reform. When he was suspended, Yakunin continued to fight the system, working to expose the persecution of religious believers in the Soviet Union. After years of exile, Yakunin entered politics. He was criticized by religious authorities, denounced by nationalist politicians, and excommunicated by the Russian Orthodox Church. As Wallace L. Daniel demonstrates, the letters Yakunin wrote and his revelations about the relationship between the Church hierarchy and the KGB stand as monuments of courage and the determination to reveal the truth about abuses of power and the authoritarian mindset that predominated in both institutions.

Download or read book Captive University written by John Connelly and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative history of the higher education systems in Poland, East Germany, and the Czech lands reveals an unexpected diversity within East European stalinism. With information gleaned from archives in each of these places, John Connelly offers a valuable case study showing how totalitarian states adapt their policies to the contours of the societies they rule. The Communist dictum that universities be purged of "bourgeois elements" was accomplished most fully in East Germany, where more and more students came from worker and peasant backgrounds. But the Polish Party kept potentially disloyal professors on the job in the futile hope that they would train a new intelligentsia, and Czech stalinists failed to make worker and peasant students a majority at Czech universities. Connelly accounts for these differences by exploring the prestalinist heritage of these countries, and particularly their experiences in World War II. The failure of Polish and Czech leaders to transform their universities became particularly evident during the crises of 1968 and 1989, when university students spearheaded reform movements. In East Germany, by contrast, universities remained true to the state to the end, and students were notably absent from the revolution of 1989.

This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to its members, exiled political leaders from nine east European countries, the ACEN was an umbrella organization—a quasi-East European parliament in exile—composed of formerly prominent statesmen who strove to maintain the case of liberation of Eastern Europe from the Soviet yoke on the agenda of international relations. Founded by the Free Europe Committee, from 1954 to 1971 the ACEN tried to lobby for Eastern European interests on the U.S. political scene, in the United Nations and the Council of Europe. Furthermore, its activities can be traced to Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. However, since it was founded and sponsored by the Free Europe Committee (most commonly recognized as the sponsor of the Radio Free Europe), the ACEN operations were obviously influenced and monitored by the Americans (CIA, Department of State). This book argues that despite the émigré leadership's self-restraint in expressing criticism of the U.S. foreign policy, the ACEN was vulnerable to, and eventually fell victim of, the changes in the American Cold War policies. Notwithstanding the termination of Free Europe’s support, ACEN members reconstituted their operations in 1972 and continued their actions until 1989. Based on a through archival research (twenty different archives in the U.S. and Europe, interviews, published documents, memoirs, press) this book is a first complete story of an organization that is quite often mentioned in publications related to the operations of the Free Europe Committee but hardly ever thoroughly studied.
