Dank der geschickten Verbindung von romantischer Melodik und sprühender Virtuosität gehört Koussevitzkys Kontrabasskonzert op. 3 seit der Moskauer Uraufführung 1905 zu den populärsten Werken seiner Gattung. Kein Wunder, denn der virtuose Bassist Koussevitzky hatte es seinem Instrument geradezu auf den Leib geschrieben. Bereits 1906/07 erschien in Moskau ein erster Klavierauszug, dem 1910 ein zweiter in Leipzig folgte. Beide sind jedoch in der Solostimme so fehlerhaft, dass bis heute an vielen Stellen Unsicherheit über den korrekten Notentext besteht. Kontrabassist Tobias Glöckler stellt seine Urtextausgabe daher auf eine breite Basis: Neben dem handschriftlichen Aufführungsmaterial und den zu Lebzeiten des Komponisten erschienenen Klavierauszügen zieht er auch Tonaufnahmen mit Koussevitzky als Solisten heran - und liefert damit endlich eine fundierte Urtextausgabe von Orchesterpartitur und Klavierauszug dieses Klassikers der Kontrabass-Literatur. Wie bei allen Kontrabasskonzerten im Henle-Verlag bietet auch diese Ausgabe den Klavierauszug von Christoph Sobanski in zwei Tonarten (e-moll und fis-moll), für die Ausführung in Solo- oder Orchesterstimmung.

He shares those stories and memories with you, too.A Head Full of Music is a vibrant personal journey for Cliff, and it's a joy to accompany him on it. Get wired for sound with him and read on.
Coste's life and works.Born in 1805 as the son of an officer in the Napoleonic army, Coste went to Delfzijl, Holland with his father as a child of 8. In 1813 the French withdrew from this fortress, passing the Zuiderzee and the Rhine. Later, he would dedicate his Souvenirs to these places. He grew up in Valenciennes, where he already developed musical activities. In December 1828 he settled in Paris and made his career, giving concerts, lessons and composing. He studied harmony and counterpoint with Sor. As a member of the Société académique des Enfants d'Apollon he played in its concerts, most notably in 1843 with his Le Tournoi in the Salle du Conservatoire. He also became a member of the Freemasons lodge and participated in a concert in 1852. He entered his most important works in the Makaroff guitar competition in Brussels in 1856, where he took second prize with Grande Sérénade. Back in Paris he continued his activities but had to take an administrative job in order to support himself. He married his pupil Louise Olive Pauilhé in 1871, after the German invasion. He injured his left shoulder in 1873, just as he had in 1863. Nevertheless he continued to give concerts up to 1880, when he could no longer play due to the extreme cold that winter. A year later he was struck by a 'cerebral congesture'. He died on 14 January 1883 and was buried at the Cimetière de Montmartre.This biography is the retail edition of the narrative part of the English translation of Ari van Vliet's dissertation upon the subject, which is reviewed as such: "...which must be the definitive work on the influential and important French composer." - Classical Guitar, Summer 2016"... impressive two-volume tome... detailed, heavily illustrated biography, extensive analysis of 45 of his works for solo guitar." - Classical Guitar, Winter 2016"It is the magisterial modern biography that Napoléon Coste and the guitar have deserved." - Soundboard Scholar, 2017The CD mentioned in the book is no longer included.

Japanische Jazz-Kneipen und -Cafés sind insulare Welten, in denen die Zeit stillsteht, fernab von Hektik und Chaos moderner Stadtlandschaften. Tokyo Jazz Joints ist eine visuelle Chronik dieser einzigartigen Kultur und hält die vergängliche Schönheit ihrer Schauplätze fest.Begonnen 2015, um Tokios Myriaden sogenannter »Jazu Kissaten« zu dokumentieren, hat sich das Projekt inzwischen auf ganz Japan ausgeweitet. Doch allmählich verschwinden diese speziellen Orte zum Anhören von Jazzplatten aufgrund neuer Trends, der Gentrifizierung und des Alters ihrer Kunden. Das vorliegende Buch bewahrt diese lebendigen Museen. Das dokumentarische Fotoprojekt Tokyo Jazz Joints entstand in Zusammenarbeit des nordirischen Fotografen Philip Arneill mit dem amerikanischen Radiomacher James Catchpole, die beide lange Zeit in Japan gelebt haben.www.tokyojazzjoints.com

Among the noise and clamour of the Britpop era, Blur co-founder Graham Coxon managed to carve out a niche to become one of the most innovative and respected guitarists of his generation - but it wasn't always easy.Graham grew up as an Army kid, moving frequently in his early years from West Germany to Derbyshire and Winchester before settling in Colchester, Essex. A shy child, he had a thing for eating soil and drawing intense visions; his anxiety was tempered by painting and a growing love of music.These twin passions grew into obsessions, and as he honed his artistic skill at school, Goldsmiths and beyond, his band with school friend Damon Albarn, fellow student Alex James, and a drummer called Dave Rowntree began to get noticed.But there are things they don't tell you before you get famous. There are monsters out there. And some may even be lurking inside yourself.Verse, Chorus, Monster! is an intimate, honest reflection on music, fame, addiction and art by one of Britain's most iconic musicians.
