From Mozart’s fabulous legato that “flowed like oil” to Beethoven’s oceanlike surge, from Clara Schumann’s touch “sharp as a pencil sketch” to Rubinstein’s volcanic and sensual playing, The Great Pianists brings to life the brilliant, stylish, and sometimes eccentric personalities, methods, and technical peculiarities of history’s greatest pianists. Pulitzer Prize–winning critic and author Harold C. Schonberg presents vivid accounts of the artists’ performances, styles, and even their personal lives and quirky characteristics— such as Mozart’s intense competition with Clementi, Lizst’s magnetic effect on women (when he played, ladies flung their jewels on stage), and Gottschalk’s persistent nailbiting, which left the keys covered with blood. Including profiles of Horowitz and Van Cliburn, among others, and chapters detailing the playing and careers of such modern pianists as de Larrocha, Ashkenazy, Gilels, Gould, Brendel, Bolet, Gutierrez, and Watts, The Great Pianists is a comprehensive and fascinating look at legendary performers past and present.

《和声的结构功能》是勋伯格写作的最后一本完整的理论著作。是勋伯格在洛杉矶加州大学开设的和声必修课的教材。《和声的结构功能》阐述了他对古典时期和浪漫时期的和声的最终见解。开头的几章是根据他的和声学的原则而作出的札要，以后的几章开辟了崭新的理论研究道路：调性的相互关系、调性的扩张以及为不同的结构目的而采用的各种创作手法。
