1 S. Gr.-8vo. Programm eines Klavierabends in den "Kaisersälen" mit Werken von Bach, Händel, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Liszt und anderer. - Édouard Risler studierte bei Louis Diémer am Pariser Konservatorium und bei den Liszt-Schülern Bernhard Stavenhagen und Eugen d'Albert. "Von 1896 an berief man ihn als Korrepetitor nach Bayreuth; später wurde er zur Mitarbeit bei der Inszenierung von Werken Wagners in Paris herangezogen. 1907 wurde er zum Professor für Klavier und Mitglied des Conseil Supérieur du Conservatoire National de Paris ernannt. - Sein durchsichtiges und kraftvolles, jedoch keineswegs trockenes Spiel sowie ein angeborener Sinn für musikalische Strukturen erlaubten es ihm, sich an erhabenste wie zarteste Werke heranzuwagen" (MGG XI, 550). Er "galt nicht nur als der erste Pianist der französischen Schule, der sich seriös und umfassend mit dem Werk Ludwig van Beethovens auseinandersetzte, sondern auch als einer der ersten überhaupt, der alle 32 Sonaten des Bonner Meisters zyklisch aufführte - im Jahre 1906 in Berlin" (Wikipedia). - Mit umlaufender Zierbordüre.

"Mit der erfolgreichen Aufführung seiner ersten Operette am Josefstädter Theater begann 1825 seine Laufbahn als Bühnenkomponist. 1826 zunächst als Sänger, im folgenden Jahr als Kapellmeister am Kärntnertortheater engagiert, wurde er 1828 von Karl Carl als Kapellmeister und Komponist an das Theater an der Wien verpflichtet. 1838 wechselte er an das Theater in der Leopoldstadt und war seit 1847 wieder am Theater an der Wien tätig. Müller komponierte mehr als 600 Singspiele, Operetten und Schauspielmusiken, insbesondere zu Possen von Johann Nestroy und Bauernkomödien von Ludwig Anzengruber, ferner Lieder und Chöre" (DBE). - Kleinere Faltspuren, etwas angestaubt und stellenweise gering fleckig.

Edited by the great 'Republican' Thomas Hollis, with additions and corrections by Joseph Robertson, this edition includes: Memoirs of the Life of Algernon Sydney; Discourses Concerning Government; Letters of Algernon Sydney, taken from Thurloe's State Papers; The Protector's Advice to Algernon Sydney; Letters of Algernon Sydney, taken from the Sydney papers; Letters of A. Sydney to Henry Savile, Ambassador in France; The Trial of A. Sydney; The Apology of A. Sydney in the Day of his Death; and A General view of Government in Europe. This is an important book in the history of the ideas that founded the American republic, but what is perhaps most interesting about this copy are the manuscript notes and annotations written, in a careful small hand, in America, during the Civil War (1863). A few of these struck our eye, and we're glad to reproduce a few selections here: "I have lately undertaking to read Algernon Sydney on government. There is great difference in reading a book at four and twenty and at eighty eight. As often as I have read it and fumbled it over, it now excites fresh admiration that this work has excited so little interest in the literary world. As splendid an edition of it as the art of printing can produce, as well as for the intrinsic merits of the work, as for the proof it brings of the bitter sufferings of the advocates of liberty from that time to this, and to show the slow progress of moral, philosophical, political illumination in the world, ought to now be published in America" - John Adams to Thomas Jefferson 17 September, 1823. ".the danger in America. arises from (1) the indifference of the people to the character of their deputies; (2) the disinclination of good men to go as deputies; (3) and the inclination of bad men to go as such. The rottenness of our law making bodies has reached such a point that if it shall not soon be cured it can not longer endure." - 1863. "Among the causes, which have brought the USA to their present unhappy condition, may be reckoned, as a leading one, the predominance in their councils of mere municipal lawyers. The low morals and the crass ignorance (of these) are not equal to the work of government, filched by them from a blindly confiding people. A profession proverbially selfish and dishonest can not produce statesmen, however fecund it may be of politicians. The conduct of government is the work of statesmen - of unselfish, honest, high-hearted, great-minded men = that class has disappeared and has given way to small country lawyers whose minds exercise only upon petty squabbles of the neighborhood, incapable of grasping the vast concerns of a nation. Bad as this is, there is something worse. and that is that the profession of the law is every year sinking lower in ignorance and in contempt, while at the same time it is rising in power." - 1863. These manuscript annotations make this copy UNIQUE, and very worthy of further study. W150. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

"Hamida Ghafour and her family fled Kabul in 1981 when the Russians invaded. In this memoir, she tells how she went back in 2003 as a journalist to cover the country's post-9/11 reconstruction." "As Hamida is drawn deeper into her country's present, other members of her family come to life for us - her great-grandfather the Sufi mystic, her poetess grandmother who urged women to unveil, her great-uncle who wrote the first democratic constitution, her brave cousin Bahodine who paid for his views with his life. Her parents and their student days of hamburgers, hunting trips with American hippies and searches for the perfect pomegranate. In her family's past she finds the story of Afghanistan itself." "She finds its future in people like the Midwestern beautician teaching women a new kind of independence, her cousin the parliamentary candidate and the archaeologist digging for his country's lost civilization - in the form of a giant Sleeping Buddha." 336p.bibliography. index.

Signed by author on title page.. The Shadow Boxer, he delivers a stunning portrait of the artist in the tradition of such great tales as Jude the Obscure, Candide and even Don Quixote, and gives literary life to the Northern Ontario landscape of "the Soo", and the demanding, muscular life of Lake Superior where giant ore-barges make their way over the grave of The Edmund Fitzgerald. Intricately patterned and multi-layered, this is the story of Sevigne Torrins, poet and boxer, who sets off into the world to make it, and whose romantic and professional misadventures take him as far as Egypt before he finds his way back to the Great Lakes. But the classic writerly dream that Sevigne pursues turns out in practice to have a different and darker reality than any he had foreseen. Book
