Winner of New Keyboard Publication of the Year at the Presto Music Awards 2023The composer and pedagogue Adolph von Henselt (18141889) can truly be considered one of the founding fathers of the Russian School of piano playing. He counted among his pupils Nicolai Sergeyvich Zverev, the teacher of Rachmaninoff and Scriabin. Rachmaninoff considered Henselt's Etudes the equal of those by Liszt and Chopin for their great beauty.Henselt's music was well-known in his time, and in the repertoire of the greatest virtuosos of the 19th century, including Clara Schumann (who premiered his F minor Concerto with Mendelssohn conducting), Franz Liszt, Hans von Bülow, Vladimir de Pachmann and Alexander Scriabin.The two sets of Etudes Opp. 2 and 5 were composed just before Henselt moved permanently to Russia and each set was originally published as two books of six études. This new Edition Peters Urtext edition collects each set in its own volume, together with,

This volume makes available Professor Jolivet-Lévy's papers on the art of Byzantine Cappadocia published over the last twenty years. They deal mainly with wall-paintings, a field in which the author has specialized. In its richness and "diversity, the archaeological documentation preserved in Cappadocia provides important evidence for the society and religious life of the Byzantine province (subsequently, from the end of the 11th century, part of the Seljuk sultanate of Rum). Although often little known to art historians, these monuments are of great importance for the history of Byzantine art, in particular for the period of the ninth and tenth centuries.

Alexander Scriabin composed sets of Études throughout his life in all periods of his compositional development. The Op. 8 set was completed in 1894 and an insight into their emotional content can be found in a poem Scriabin wrote alongside the set: Whoever you may be, you who laughed at me, who plunged me into dark depths . . . I am alive. I love life. I love people. I love them all the more because through you they have suffered. ... This edition of the Études has been prepared by Günter Philipp. It contains an authorative text of the notation, preface in German and English, and a critical commentary.12 Études op. 8 für KlavierAlexander Skrjabin komponierte sein Leben lang Etüdensammlungen in allen Phasen seiner kompositorischen Entwicklung. Die Operation. Die 8. Folge wurde 1894 fertiggestellt und einen Einblick in ihren emotionalen Inhalt findet sich in einem Gedicht, das Skrjabin neben der Folge schrieb: Wer auch immer du sein magst, du, der du mic

Pourquoi reunir dans le meme titre "morphologie" et "f(x,...)", c'est-a-dire ce qu'il y a de plus materiel, de plus grammatical, de plus divers aussi, et ce qu'il y a de plus abstrait, relevant eventuellement plus de la cognition, de la logique, que de la linguistique ? Pour deux raisons: la premiere est la conviction que la specificite des systemes morphologiques reflete des strategies sinon des systemes semantiques ou cognitifs specifiques; la seconde, c'est que les notations en f(x,...) constituent un systeme de notation simple, clair et explicite, de tout ce qui est relationnel, y compris de simples semes.Cet ouvrage ne se contente pas d'examiner des problemes generaux, mais tente aussi de resoudre, de maniere technique, des problemes poses par des langues particulieres - tant il est vrai que, plus encore que pour les autres domaines de la linguistique, il est vain de pretendre traiter de morphologie generale en se limitant a une seule langue -: l'organisation des marques personnelles de l'oubykh (Caucase) et du walmatjari (Australie), des systemes des marques de voix/diathese et d'applicatif, le fonctionnement des verbes seriels et des classificateurs possessifs et numeraux; l'analyse de ces phenomenes "exotiques" n'est pas sans jeter une lumiere nouvelle sur le francais ou l'anglais (fonctionnement des prepositions). La configuration de certains systemes de marquage amene a poser des modeles de morphologie "differents", non agglutinocentriques, et a se faire une autre image des operateurs linguistiques: paradigme de paradigmes, morphologie par accretion, caractere pointilliste de l'expression linguistique des relations, importance de "figures" comme la synecdoque.
