Women and the Piano - Susan Tomes

Women are an essential part of the history of the piano⠔but how many women pianists can you name?  Throughout most of the piano⠙s history, women pianists lacked access to formal training and were excluded from male-dominated performance spaces. Even the modern piano⠙s keys were designed without consideration of women⠙s typically smaller hands. Yet despite their music being largely confined to the domestic sphere, women continued to play, perform, and compose on their own terms.  Celebrated pianist and author Susan Tomes traces fifty such women across the piano⠙s history. Including now-famous names such as Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn, Tomes also highlights overlooked women: from Hélène de Montgeroult, whose playing saved her life during the French Revolution, to Leopoldine Wittgenstein, influential Viennese salonnière, and Hazel Scott, the first Black performer in the United States to have a nationally syndicated TV show.  From Maria Szymanowska to Nina Simone, and including interviews with women performing today, this is a much-needed corrective to our understanding of the piano⠔and a timely testament to women⠙s musical lives.

Wicked [Movie tie-in #2] - Gregory Maguire

The #1 New York Times bestseller and basis for the international phenomenon that is Wicked: The Musical and the smash hit movie series. Look for part one of Wicked the movie, now streaming, and the stunning conclusion Wicked: For Good, in theaters now.With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film. In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination.Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skinno easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz s most promising young citizens.But Elphaba s Oz is no utopia. The Wizard s secret police are everywhere. Animalsthose creatures with voices, souls, and mindsare threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animalseven if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas.Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same nameone of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel s distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire s Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.Maguire did something truly remarkable with this novel, in managing to inhabit, enlarge, deepen and find new dimensions in a world that had been invented by another writer, and in doing so make something entirely new. It s an astonishing achievement. Phillip PullmanGregory gets the complications and uniqueness of women very well.-- Kristen ChenowethIt s a staggering feat of wordcraft, made no less so by the fact that its boundaries were set decades ago by somebody else. Maguire s larger triumph here is twofold: First, in Elphaba, he has created (re-created? renovated?) one of the great heroines in fantasy literature: a fiery, passionate, unforgettable and ultimately tragic figure. Second, Wicked is the best fantasy novel of ideas I ve read since Mervyn Peake s Gormenghast or Frank Herbert s Dune. Would that all books with this much innate consumer appeal were also this good. And vice versa. Los Angeles Times

Piano. Complete Works 1966â

Renzo Piano rose to international prominence with his co-design of the Pompidou Center in Paris, described by The New York Times as a building that ⠜turned the architecture world upside down.⠝ Since then, he has continued to craft such iconic cultural spaces as the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago and, more recently, the Whitney Museum of American Art, an asymmetric nine-story structure in Manhattan⠙s Meatpacking District with both indoor and outdoor galleries. In London, the Piano touch has also transformed the skyline with the Shard. At the age of 84, the Italian maestro retains all of his enthusiasm and kindness⠔and his recent roster is more impressive than ever. As he confided to the author, ⠜I think at a certain age, one can discover that there is what the French call the ⠘fil rouge,⠙ a kind of red thread that relates one building to another over time. In my case, I believe it is about lightness and the art of building.⠝ From freshly built museums in Athens and Santander; ongoing works in Lisbon, London, Toronto, and Geneva; to such humanitarian projects as the Emergency Children⠙s Surgical Hospital in Entebbe, Uganda, and the Children⠙s Hospice in Bologna, Italy, Piano⠙s career is a thrilling journey through the beauty and very essence of architecture. Based on the massive XXL monograph, this widely updated edition brings the architect⠙s definitive career overview to an accessible format and is illustrated by photographs, sketches, and plans.

The Beautiful Ones - Prince

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA Times, Sunday Times and Telegraph Book of the Year______________________________________________ A triumph ... a masterclass in the bottling of its subject⠙s seductive essence. His presence in this book is so strong that it⠙s hard to believe he has really left the building MOJO Handsomely presented, visually sumptuous THE TIMES______________________________________________From Prince himself comes the brilliant coming-of-age-and-into-superstardom story of one of the greatest artists of all time⠔featuring never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks and lyric sheets, and the exquisite memoir he began writing before his tragic death. Prince was a musical genius, one of the most talented, beloved, accomplished, popular, and acclaimed musicians in pop history. But he wasn t only a musician⠔he was also a startlingly original visionary with an imagination deep enough to whip up whole worlds, from the sexy, gritty funk paradise of his early records to the mythical landscape of Purple Rain to the psychedelia of Paisley Park. But his greatest creative act was turning Prince Rogers Nelson, born in Minnesota, into Prince, the greatest pop star of his era. The Beautiful Ones is the story of how Prince became Prince⠔a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and fame that would come to define him. The book is told in four parts. The first is composed of the memoir he was writing before his tragic death, pages that brings us into Prince s childhood world through his own lyrical prose. The second part takes us into Prince s early years as a musician, before his first album released, through a scrapbook of Prince s writing and photos. The third section shows us Prince s evolution through candid images that take us up to the cusp of his greatest achievement, which we see in the book s fourth section: his original handwritten treatment for Purple Rain⠔the final stage in Prince s self-creation, as he retells the autobiography we ve seen in the first three parts as a heroic journey. The book is framed by editor Dan Piepenbring⠙s riveting and moving introduction about his short but profound collaboration with Prince in his final days⠔a time when Prince was thinking deeply about how to reveal more of himself and his ideas to the world, while retaining the mystery and mystique he⠙d so carefully cultivated⠔and annotations that provide context to each of the book⠙s images. This work is not just a tribute to Prince, but an original and energizing literary work, full of Prince⠙s ideas and vision, his voice and image, his undying gift to the world.______________________________________________⠘Prince⠙s voice comes through loud and clear; his personality, joie de vivre and single-mindedness jumping off the page throughout.⠙CLASSIC POP MAGAZINE The Beautiful Ones is for everyone. It s not a read, but an experience, an immersion inside the mind of a musical genius. You are steeped in Prince s images, his words, his essence⠦ The book can be a starting point for a Prince fascination, or a continuation of long-standing admiration. Either way, it will deepen the connection of any reader with the musical icon.⠝USA TODAY ⠘The Beautiful Ones remains a jewel-like fragment, Piepenbring⠙s sensitive introduction providing a snapshot of the Purple One⠙s last months at Paisley Park and during the Piano and Microphone tour⠙ Q MAGAZINE An affirmation of Prince⠙s Blackness and humanity⠦ Prince writes about his childhood with clarity and poetic flair, effortlessly combining humorous anecdotes with deep self-reflection and musical analysis⠦ Prince is one of us ⠔ he just worked to manifest dreams that took him from the North Side of Minneapolis to the Super Bowl.

The Beautiful Ones doesn t paint a perfect picture. It s not definitive. It can t be, it shouldn t be and, thankfully, it doesn t try to be. We ll never know what it might have been if Prince had lived. But it s a good start. Now, it s up to us to take what s there and make something out of it for ourselves, creating, just as Prince wanted. NPR Both a pleasure and a surprise ...
