In the second adventure around Director Jolly’s zoo orchestra, there is again plenty of musical action going on: Sometimes the animals even give a concert for the visitors. One day, however, there is a lot of excitement in the bamboo enclosure – a new arrival from China! It is the lady panda Mei Yue who longs to return to her home country so much that she can neither eat nor sleep.

Stinky, the skunk, cannot care less what happens with the lady panda but the other zoo animals hatch a secret plan: With Eulenschubbiduh, Schnatterenten-Marsch, LöwenJazz and many other songs, they welcome their new friend.

An imaginative story with lots of music.

Komponistenporträts für Kinder Vol. 1 32 pages – hardback 21,5 x 27,0 cm € 19.95 ISBN 978-3-7957-0695-1 · ED 20780

Unlike hardly any other composer, Robert Schumann is able to make children see the beauty of classical music.

As a father of eight children, he virtually wrote ‘hits for kids’ almost 200 years ago: Works such as ‘Kinderszenen’ or the ‘Album für die Jugend’ and many other pieces have got children enthusiastic about piano playing for generations.

In the first person, Robert tells of his childhood, his youth and his eventful musical life. Children (and their parents) hear from his own mouth when, how and where his famous compositions were created. They hear about fascinating things of that time and about Schumann’s composer friends – and above all about his great love of Clara Schumann, also a composer and famous pianist even as a child…

It’s hard to believe how exciting classical music can be.

Do you know why trumpets have valves and trombones slides? And how long is a rolled-out horn, or what is a csárdás? But that’s not all. Everybody who pays careful attention at a concert and listens carefully can discover a lot of fascinating things. As soon as the musicians begin to play, the ideas of composers turn into music. And what interesting ideas they express with their music without any words – a shoal of fish, a train station…

This book, the result of the family concerts with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, not only provides lively texts and illustrations but mainly makes you enjoy the music!

Dirk Walbrecker studied German studies and pedagogics among others. Worked as a teacher and for the film.

Since 1986 freelance author: screenplays, radio plays, picture books, children’s and juvenile novels. Many reading tours. (www.dirkwalbrecker.de)

Mikis Theodorakis is one of the most famous figures in recent Greek history. The self-declared ‘Cretan, Greek and European’ stands out not only due to his very varied musical oeuvre which ranges from symphonic music via film classics such as Zorba the Greek to numerous Greek folksongs but also due to his political commitment, e.g. as voice against the Greek military dictatorship. Regardless of all social circumstances, his main interest has always been the music.

This illustrated book portrays the life of Theodorakis.

Apart from documenting his various creative periods as a composer, hundreds of photos and numerous unpublished statements of Mikis Theodorakis and his companions provide an insight into this eventful life between music and politics.

Marek Janowski is regarded as one of the most important representatives of the classical German orchestra culture.

With an unerring ear, clear movements and instinctive musical intelligence, he transforms complex scores into expressive interpretations. To him, precision is the prerequiste for spirited music-making.

In this authorized biography, Wolfgang Seifert for the first time portrays the life and work of the conductor who grew up in Nazi Germany as Polish-German war child.

After his studies and first employments, he worked as principal conductor in Freiburg, Dortmund and Cologne, Paris, Monte Carlo and Dresden. Today he is director of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in Geneva and of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra which he turned into one of the leading orchestras in Germany.

For many people, Carlos Kleiber (1930–2004) is the most important conductor of the late 20th century. He was certainly the most problematic one.

Having grown up with the burden of his dominant father Erich Kleiber, he struggled with his demand for perfection throughout his whole life. Being one of the most sought-after conductors, Carlos Kleiber did not accept any permanent appointment for years. His number of appearances was small and his official discography minimal, however, his charisma was legendary and he has a large number of fans. The guarantor of magic musical moments remained a mystery, though. His biographer Alexander Werner has tried to approach Kleiber, the man and artist, by finding out about the stages and stations of his life and questioning many of his contemporaries about the ‘secret of Kleiber’.

For a long time, left-handedness has been regarded as ‘deviation from the norm’, and musical instruments usually are designed for right-handers even today. But the question arises whether or not the handedness, i.e. the preference for using the left or right hand for certain tasks, also plays a role with such complex activities as music-making.

The changed playing situation with instruments for lefthanders touches on a topic that has to a large extent remained undiscovered and tabooed up to now. After a look at history, the book describes the current state of dealing with left-handedness in music-making – including all consequences not only for the common order of musicmaking but especially for the capability and health of the performing musicians.

The author, a cellist and ‘right-hand playing’ left-hander, analyzes the musical practice of left-handed ‘normal players’ and left-handed players on numerous instruments from the perspective of an orchestra musician, instrumental teacher and educationalist. The analysis is concluded with recommendations for practising, teaching tips and answers to questions of parents of left-handed children.

This book deals with three fields that are of interest to both singers and lovers of singing: the fascinating historical development from the Greek songs accompanied by aulos or kithara via the richly ornamented Gregorian chant to the heyday of the bel canto in the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as the demands of new music; the anatomical and physiological foundations of voice production, explained by a number of exact photographic and graphic examples; the technical foundations of singing in five main chapters which are worked on according to the disposition and aptitude of the students: posture, breathing function, intonation – function of the language, approaches to and training of the pronunciation – equalizing the voice, messa di voce, legato – range, volume, velocity and virtuosity – dramatic expression and interpretation.

272 pages – paperback 24,0 x 17,0 cm € 17.00 ISBN 978-3-7651-0340-7 · BV 340

A lively work-book for all young music students who have acquired a certain confidence after studying their instrument and reading music. The theoretical material explained previously is now practically deepened in a playful manner and visually illustrated.

Music history year by year – from the ancient Greeks to today (2002), from Palestrina to the Beatles. This successful concept, which goes back to Arnold Schering (1877–1941), had not been brought up to date since the last revision by Hans Joachim Moser in 1961.

Frank Reinisch’s new version Neue Tabellen zur Musikgeschichte retains Schering’s fascinating approach and lists the major events from the fields of history, literature, art, etc. in columns that accompany the events in music history.

The publication is essentially a new version of the classic ‘chart’ book. In particular, the multifaceted developments in the music of the 20th century have been subjected to a totally new evaluation.

Thanks to his ‘Lexikon Musiktheorie’, the knowledgeable author Thomas Kraemer fills a gap that was open for far too long. He explains all standard concepts from such typical disciplines of music theory as harmony, counterpoint and thoroughbass in a succinct and easily comprehensible manner, often exploring stylistic and historical aspects as well. The spectrum of the contents has been deliberately expanded through excursions into domains such as formal design, new compositional methods and jazz theory – where co-author Manfred Dings’ special knowledge comes in handy. Providing vivid visual enhancements are the many short music examples that provide an additional elucidation to nearly every key word.

Countless students have learned their musical basics from ‘ABC Musik.’ After five very successful editions of the book which was first published in 1997, Wieland Ziegenrücker has thoroughly revised, updated and expanded his fundamental work. The new edition provides greater emphasis on the essential qualities of ‘ABC Musik’: a comprehensive selection of topics, well-grounded structure, visually compelling presentation, easily understandable language, practical exercises for learning control, and an index with explanations of technical terms.

Grundlagen, Konzepte, Methoden With essays by E. Altenmüller, U. Mahlert, G. Mantel, Chr. Richter, P. Röbke, W. Rüdiger, M. Saxer, H. Wiedemann and others (2nd edition 2007)

488 pages – hardcover € 58.00 ISBN 978-3-7651-0247-9 · BV 247

414 pages – paperback € 36.00 ISBN 978-3-7651-0314-8 · BV 314

Lachenmann’s central essays such as ‘Klangtypen der Neuen Musik’ (Types of Sound in New Music), ‘Die gefährdete Kommunikation’ (Endangered Communication), ‘Zum Problem des musikalisch Schönen heute’ (The Problem of Beauty in Music Today), and his essays on Mahler, Schönberg and Nono are among the most important testimonies of autonomous musical thought in our time.

In addition to Lachenmann’s major essays, this volume of writings also contains all of the composer’s work introductions as well.

The reprint 2004 is essentially the result of an intensive and critical reading of the previous text by Lachenmann himself. The text was generally only slightly altered, with passages rewritten and the language occasionally lightened. Only the analysis of the Second String Quartet ‘Dance of the Blessed Spirits’, which was very topical back in 1996, was newly conceived and substantially changed. The editor’s observations, work catalogue and discography have been revised and updated.

There’s no way around it: all musicians have to practice their whole life long. Yet very few musicians confront this ‘necessary evil’ and give it much serious thought.

One might say that practicing has not been made practicable for the practical musician... In his ‘Handbuch Üben’, the experienced music teacher Ulrich Mahlert has brought together a number of renowned authors from the performing arts and neighboring disciplines who are more than familiar with the joys and problems of practicing. Their essays have given rise to an important book that is rich in details on a topic that is often perplexing and always timely. The concise subtitle ‘Fundamentals. Concepts. Methods’ is programmatic, for the book seeks to convey impulses for pleasurable and fruitful practicing. In the best of cases, individually adjusted practicing can contribute to self-perception, self-criticism and personal development. The book has fulfilled its purpose if this goal is reached. One can only hope that this volume will become a standard work for everyone who practices!

372 pages – paperback 120 illustrations € 39.00 ISBN 978-3-7651-0376-6 · BV 376

The first complete edition of Fanny Hensel’s ‘Diaries’ were among the most important new publications in the field of music books in autumn 2002. Since its appearance, the hardcover edition - designed to please every bibliophile - has been winning many friends and readers. ‘... since my Trio I have not written one usable measure’, thus end Fanny Hensel’s Diaries on 26 April 1847. However, one begins to admire the dazzlingly cultivated musician from the very first page. With her many interests which included politics and technological achievements Fanny Hensel self-assuredly held her own within the Mendelssohn family. With a clear mind and a sharp pen, she described everyday life in Berlin and blossomed whenever she could flee the provincial narrowness. Her observations from France and Italy belong to the most impressive sections of her diaries, which she did not keep with regularity.

Worthy of the greatest praise are the editors Rudolf Elvers and Hans-Günter Klein, who have succeeded in painstakingly collecting the widely dispersed manuscripts. Supplied with brilliant comments, illustrations, a family tree and a vast index, the diaries of Fanny Hensel are an eminently readable contribution to the history both musically and socially - of the first half of the 19th century.

This edition has been awarded the German Music Edition Prize for 2003.

People’s hands are different, as we all know. But what is important when playing a musical instrument? In ‘Hand und Instrument’ we learn for the first time to what extent the hands of professional musicians actually differ from one another, and how this impacts musical instruction and one’s later career. ‘Handprofile’ not only presents advantages and limitations, but also offers help with the explanation of performance-technical problems, thus making it a key to individual playing technique. The reader can evaluate hands independently by using the measuring sheets included in the book.

Hand und Instrument

All this is based on the only existing systematic documentation of data concerning musicians’ hands which Christoph Wagner, the founder and long-time director of the Institute for Music Physiology at the Musikhochschule Hannover, has published here for the first time in an enlightening context. ‘Hand und Instrument’ is an instructional method, a reference work and a book of tips and advice all in one – for teachers, musicians, instrument makers, physicians and physiotherapists. It grew out of the collaboration with musicians and can be understood without any previous technical knowledge.

176 pages – laminated paperback with coloured images 13,5 x 21,5 cm € 19.90 ISBN 978-3-89487-669-2

Rolando Villazón is internationally recognized as one of the leading lyric tenors of our days and has been acclaimed for performances at the most important theatres across the world including the Metropolitan Opera, Opéra National de Paris, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Berlin State Opera, Bavarian State Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Hamburg State Opera, Opéra de Lyon, Opéra de Nice, New York City Opera and many others. For a lot of people he is the only legitimate successor of the ‘Three Tenors’ José Carreras, Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. Both his beaming voice and his charisma and talent to perform fill opera lovers from all over the world with enthusiasm. Already starting to become an internationally known star, his participation in La Traviata at the Salzburg Festival 2005 together with Anna Netrebko made him famous all over the world for good. But already one and a half years later the Mexican singer had to pay the price for his merciless self-exploitation: A crisis of his voice, accompanied by spectacular cancellations, let him fall silent for six months. In January 2008 he reported back to the stages, matured and more pensive than before.

Since his sensational debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in February 2006 Jonas Kaufmann has ranked among the top stars of the opera scene. The international press hailed him as ‘the new king of tenors’, insiders celebrate him as the most important German tenor since Fritz Wunderlich. Whether New York, London, Paris or Milan: The world’s leading opera houses scramble to get him: He sings fantastic, is very good-looking, intelligent, has a gift for languages and is an excellent actor. In July 2010 he made his debut at the Bayreuth Festival, playing the title role in Hans Neuenfels’ new production of Wagner’s ‘Lohengrin’ brilliantly. Despite his success, the real Bavarian boy has remained refreshingly natural and down-to-earth. In his interview with the music journalist Thomas Voigt he talks at length about the bright and dark sides of his profession for the first time.

- The first book on the internationally celebrated star tenor - First edition out of print shortly after publication - With contributions by Plácido Domingo, Angela Gheorghiu, Nathalie Dessay, Antonio Pappano, Peter Gelb, Franz Welser-Möst, among others

Manuel Brug, one of Germany’s most acclaimed opera critics, follows in his portrait eight not only glamorous years of Rolando Villazón’s career and lets us have a look into the flamboyant world of opera singers and the sometimes really rough music business.

The whole world of architecture

The world’s longest art gallery

Architecture influences the living space of human beings more strongly than any other artistic genre. The dictionary contains articles on the life, work and influence of important master builders and architects – from Alvar Aalto to Peter Zumthor.

The texts explain terms like abacus or dwarf gallery, inform about institutions and architectural awards and give an overview of the epochs. Also included are detailed review articles, e.g. the description of secular and sacred construction works or explanations of the building materials and techniques.

A Trabi that breaks through the Berlin Wall, a brotherhood kiss between Socialists – who does not know the pictures that went around the world and today are the main features of the longest, still existing section of the Berlin Wall. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and in spring 1990, 118 artists from 21 countries decorated the east side of the Berlin Wall with pictures of their thoughts and feelings on the political upheaval of that time. Thus, they created an unrivalled work of art with a length of 1,316 metres between Ostbahnhof and Oberbaumbrücke: the East Side Gallery. In 2009, the pictures were restored by their creators. Every day, numerous visitors from all over the world, especially young people, come to see this symbol of freedom and reunification of a people as well as experience the uniqueness of this place.

Christoph Wetzel, born in Bautzen in 1944, studied art history, German studies and history at the art academies of Stuttgart, Munich, Vienna and the universities of Munich, Vienna and Constance.
