1989185811Cambridge New York: Cambridge University Press 1989. Hardcover. VG-/VG- Ex-library with stamps and labels on spine inside front and rear covers ffep and block. Black cloth boards silver lettering on gray title block on spine; bw illustrated dj mylar cover; xvi 476 pp music. "This book contains the first complete translation in English of E.T.A. Hoffmann's major musical writings complementing the well-known Tales. It offers therefore a long-awaited opportunity to assess the thought and influence of one of the most famous of all writers on music and the musical links with his fiction. Containing the first complete appearance in English of Kreisleriana it reaveals a masterpiece of imaginative writing whose title is familiar to musicians from Robert Schumann's piano cycle and whose profound humour and irony can now be fully appreciated. This volume offers translations aiming at the greatest fidelity to Hoffmann as well as musical accuracy in the reviews. David Charlton's three introductory essays provide extensive information on the background to Romantic music criticism; on the origins and internal structure of Kreiseriana; and on Hoffmann and opera. A concluding essay by the late Friedrich Schnapp lists Hoffmann's planned reviews and those mistakenly attributed to him." DJ.

A treatise on the electrographic examination of the heart especially regarding heart irregularities. Hoffman is included in George Edward Burch and Nicholas Paul De Pasquale A History of Electrocardiography 1964 and "Great Men of Electrocardiography" Chapter III pp. 82-3 "he made many early contributions to the understanding of clinical electrocardiology.". "August Hoffmann was born in MUnster on 2 June 1862. In 1891 he set up his medical practice in DUsseldorf as specialist for internal medicine and neurology. There in 1907 he became first professor in ordinary for internal medicine when the Academy for Practical Medicine was founded. Up to 1927 he was head of the medical clinic. On 17 February 1929 he died in DUsseldorf. At first Hoffmann used the X-rays which were discovered in 1895 for the heart diagnostics above all for the determination of the size of the heart. A general notoriety he obtained by publication of the monography about the paroxysmal tachycardia type Bouveret-Hoffmann in 1900. After the preliminary works of Einthoven he belonged to the first German clinicians who dealt with electrocardiography above all problems of arrhythmia. In 1914 he published the second ECG-book in German language. Hoffmann founded the Dusseldorf cardiologic tradition." – NCBI. See: The Evan Bedford Library of Cardiology 522 571. J. F.
