Among the world's instruments, the piano stands out as the most versatile, powerful, and misunderstood -- even by those who have spent much of their lives learning to play. In Piano Notes, a finalist for a 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award, Charles Rosen, one of the world's most talented pianists, distills a lifetime of wisdom and lore into an unforgettable tour of the hidden world of piano playing. You'll read about how a note is produced, why a chord can move us, why the piano -- "hero and villain" of tonality -- has shaped the course of Western music, and why it is growing obsolete. Rosen explains what it means that Beethoven composed in his head whereas Mozart would never dream of doing so, why there are no fortissimos in the works of Ravel, and why a piano player's acrobatics have an important dramatic effect but nothing more. Ending on a contemplative note, Piano Notes offers an elegant argument that piano music "is not just sound or even significant sound" but a mechanical, physical, and fetishistic experience that faces new challenges in an era of recorded music. Rosen ponders whether piano playing will ever again be the same, and his insights astonish.

Written by one of the world's outstanding music historians and critics, the late Alfred Einstein, this classic study of Mozart's character and works brings to light many new facts about his relationship with his family, his susceptibility to ambitious women, and his associations with musical contemporaries, as well as offering a penetrating analysis of his operas, piano music, chamber music, and symphonies.

阿多諾這本眾所渴待，但他生前未能成書的《貝多芬：阿多諾的音樂哲學》，1993年才在德國出版，距作者1969年世紀將近四分之一世紀。本書彙集的這批重要、發人深省的劄記，以及許多也以片斷形式存世的散篇，阿多諾形容是他「貝多芬經驗的日記」。
阿多諾自幼彈奏貝多芬作品，熟讀貝多芬總譜，1937年興起大規模研究貝多芬之念，有志據此研究寫成「音樂哲學」，此後三十年做成四十多本劄記，念茲在茲，亟欲成書，但一方面戰亂流亡，不暇整理，二方面他求全心切，總覺茲書體大，不宜率爾，因此直到辭世，猶未著手寫書。
阿多諾專家Rolf Tiedemann盡蒐阿多諾所遺劄記，依照劄記的內在邏輯與關係脈絡，加以組織，賦予結構，配合阿多諾生平所寫關於貝多芬的散篇文章、電台廣播，以及阿多諾諸本成書著作中討論貝多芬的章節段落，加上不厭詳盡的注解，統合成一本理路連貫，從哲學、社會學、美學、音樂學、文學等角度觀照貝多芬的既精且博之作。
阿多諾自己想寫的貝多芬書永不可得，但編者追摹他的原意，重建現場般建構阿多諾的「貝多芬書」圖像，這本《貝多芬：阿多諾的音樂哲學》堪稱可能未中，但應不遠，不但為阿多諾著作集增一瑰寶，在多芬研究裡也是一本扛鼎之作。

The ever-increasing number of performances of Bach's music is a sign of its enduring vitality. Yet there exists a diversity of interpretation of a magnitude that probably applies to no other composer. Assessing the varying merits of these interpretational approaches, and getting to grips with the sources and documents on which they are based, can be extremely difficult for a modern performer. Paul Badura-Skoda, who has been studying and performing Bach's keyboard music for more than forty years, here presents a host of valuable new insights drawn from his deep knowledge of the sources and of the problems of interpretation. He looks in detail at the various aspects of Bach's music, providing chapters on rhythm, tempo, articulation, and dynamics. He also examines the instruments for which Bach's music was intended, and discusses interpretational issues arising from this, as well as problems of sonority. The second part of the book is devoted to a comprehensible discussion of ornamentation with a detailed examination of the signs and symbols used by Bach. This discussion is prompted not only by its central importance to baroque music in general, but also because the author believes so much of Bach's ornamentation in current performance practice is monotonous and fails to correspond to the baroque style at all. Sometimes contentious, always stimulating, Paul Badura-Skoda's text conveys a passion for an informed interpretation of Bach's music based upon a recognition and respect for Bach's musical and intellectual intentions. Copiously illustrated throughout with music examples, Interpreting Bach at the Keyboard will take its place as a standard work for all students and performers of Bach's keyboard music.

This is the only English translation of this important book by the world's most distinguished Bach scholar. This work is widely regarded as the most authoritative and comprehensive treatment of the Bach cantatas. It begins with a historical survey of the seventeenth-century background to the cantatas, and performance practice issues. The core of the book is a work-by-work study in which each cantata in turn is represented by its libretto, a synopsis of its movements, and a detailed analytical commentary. This format makes it extremely useful as a reference work for anyone listening to, performing in, or studying any of the Bach cantatas. All the cantata librettos are given in German-English parallel text. For the English edition the text has been carefully revised to bring it up to date, taking account of recent Bach scholarship.

The Art of the Piano is a feature-length, 106-minute documentary that presents in refreshingly straightforward fashion a portrait of 20th-century piano playing. The format is simple: short segments on virtually all of the great pianists who have ever been captured on film, augmented by extracts from interviews, sometimes with the pianists themselves, or with later conductors and musicians of international stature, including specially filmed contributions from Daniel Barenboim, Sir Colin Davis, Evgeny Kissin, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, and Tamás Vásáry. The narration by John Tusa offers an overview of piano music through the century, though the heart of the film is the great quantity of rare archive historic footage, with extracts from performances by Gould, Horowitz, Paderwski, Rachmaninoff, Richter, Rubinstein, and many others. The interviews are short, but offer considerable insight, while the film of so many revered pianists brought together is a literal eye-opener, especially for those who have previously only known these masters from LP and CD. This is, like the companion program The Art of Singing, as close to definitive as a single film can get, even going so far as to include footage from the "silent" era with sound from corresponding recordings. --Gary S.

在魏玛短训班里，以色列和阿拉伯国家的音乐家们几年来一直携手演出，而人们认为两者之间不可能存在的友好和融洽通过音乐实现了。但这并不意味着音乐可以解决中东的所有问题。音乐可以成为你生活中最好的学校，同时也是逃离生活的最有效的手段。 ——巴伦博依姆 贝多芬的音乐与《荷马史诗》有着类似的探险历程，然而具有离家和回来的勇气并不是简单的外出和返乡；这里需要巨大的努力。奥德赛离开了家乡，离开了珀涅罗珀以及伊萨卡的安乐窝。他去了战场，等战争结束再次返乡。但那不是简单的回来——这就是《奥德赛》的力量所在——经过一系列一个接一个吸引他的冒险经历，他才得以回来。他本可以很简单地回来。但他以一个好奇的人，他离开了家是为了发现能够吸引他的东西，当然也有威胁他的东西…… ——萨义德 只有在演出中被注入了血与肉，音乐才是真实的。思想如果平躺在纸面上，只能是苍白的。无论在何处，我们打开这本书，巴伦博依姆和萨义德就仿佛站在我们面前，他们的思想，他们的激情，使他们的理论宛如音乐，使他们的问题鲜活生动。 ——彼得·布鲁克

What Charles Rosen's celebrated book "The Classical Style" did for music of the Classical period, this new, much-awaited volume brilliantly does for the Romantic era. An exhilarating exploration of the musical language, forms, and styles of the Romantic period, it captures the spirit that enlivened a generation of composers and musicians, and in doing so it conveys the very sense of Romantic music. In readings uniquely informed by his performing experience, Rosen offers consistently acute and thoroughly engaging analyses of works by Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Bellini, Liszt, and Berlioz, and he presents a new view of Chopin as a master of polyphony and large-scale form. He adeptly integrates his observations on the music with reflections on the art, literature, drama, and philosophy of the time, and thus shows us the major figures of Romantic music within their intellectual and cultural context. Rosen covers a remarkably broad range of music history and considers the importance to nineteenth-century music of other cultural developments: the art of landscape, a changed approach to the sacred, the literary fragment as a Romantic art form. He sheds new light on the musical sensibilities of each composer, studies the important genres from nocturnes and songs to symphonies and operas, explains musical principles such as the relation between a musical idea and its realization in sound and the interplay between music and text, and traces the origins of musical ideas prevalent in the Romantic period. Rich with striking descriptions and telling analogies, Rosen's overview of Romantic music is an accomplishment without parallel in the literature, a consummate performance by a master pianist and music historian.

《音乐人类学》来源于我十五年间的思考以及同文化人类学和民族音乐学领域里的同事和学者们的探讨。文化人类学和民族音乐学这两个学科之间的分界线常常并不清晰，或许本该如此。关于人类学并没有什么需要解释的，因为它的内容相当清晰，目标也至少界定适度。
