RISM Écrits Imprimés p. 97.<br /> <br /> "Born in tenuous circumstances Toscanello preface Aaron seems to have been largely self-taught; this may be the reason for his less systematic approach and questionable statements especially in his first treatise but also for his valuable insights into contemporary practice: from his first treatise onwards he promises to divulge 'many of the secret chambers of this art never heretofore revealed'. He is especially informative on counterpoint and compositional process distinguishing older and newer procedures the modal system in polyphonic music and the application of musica ficta. He is one of the first theorists to discuss mean-tone temperament. His Toscanello among the earliest vernacular music treatises was highly successful and ran to four editions." Bonnie J. Blackburn in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> First published in 1523 "Toscanello . is probably the best general treatise of its generation invaluable for its clever and progressive discussions of musical practice particularly counterpoint. . Aron wrote extensively about practice scarcely ever touching on speculative theory. His ideas are derived from earlier writers notably Tinctoris Gaffurius and Spataro but he frequently extended or modified traditions." TNG 6 Vol. 1. pp. 2-3. <br /> <br /> "Aron's published works on musical theory comprise the Libri III de institutione harmonica 1516 the Trattato della natura e cognizione di tutti gli toni di canto figurato 1525 the Lucidario in musica 1545 and the Compendiolo di molti dubbi without date. His chief writing however is the Toscanello in musica 1523 and four later editions which contains the best exposition of contrapuntal rules to be found before Zarlino. Aron is the first theorist to recognize the practice of composing all voices of a composition simultaneously." Strunk: Source Readings in Music History p. 205<br /> <br /> The full-page woodcut of Aron instructing his pupils with musical instruments in the foreground represents a significant record of the history of the student/teacher relationship of the period. See Kinsky: A History of Music in Pictures p. 109 no. 2.<br /> <br /> An important work and a fine example of a very early treatise in the vernacular.

55370Munich-Ottobrunn: Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm GmbH 1972. Square quarto 34 × 34 cm. Original printed laminated boards; 160 pp. with over 130 full-page reproductions of computer graphics as well as some examples of applied technical graphics of aircraft development and road planning. With 10 separate color screen prints by Frank Böttger Sylvia Roubaud Gerold Weiss Aron Warszawski and Rolf Wölk. Film lamination on the binding joints with age-typical minor damage and wear; half title and last page colophon fox-stained; else good or better; the color serigraphs very good. First and only edition of an elaborately designed early publication on computer-generated art; here a copy from the part of the print run produced for IBM. The volume was not published in Max Bense's academic environment but is the result of industrial experimental research. On the occasion of the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich the exhibition MBB Computer Graphics was shown on the premises of Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm GmbH. The exhibits were created by a team of mathematicians engineers and mechanical engineers from MBB's aircraft department together with the painter and graphic artist Sylvia Roubaud mainly in their spare time. Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm was one of the leading German aerospace and defense companies at the time and was later acquired by Daimler-Benz. One of the company's best-known projects was the development of the world's first passenger-carrying magnetic levitation train which was presented to the public on a test track in Munich-Ottobrunn in 1971. <br /> <br /> The development of programs to generate graphics presented itself here as basic research as the step towards computer-aided technical drawing had already been taken. The speed and technical precision that engineers were able to take advantage of is particularly emphasized. According to the volume working with the computer increasingly became "an almost perfect question-and-answer game when solving problems." At the level of art and poetry it was now possible to experiment with the generative possibilities of computing machines. The volume contains not only computer graphics but also "machine-generated texts." The publication reveals for example that it was already possible in 1972 "to produce exact translations from one language into another with the help of computers when the source texts are specialist texts. So far the computer can only provide rough translations of literature; grammatically almost correct but still semantically naive in the choice of words." By using a random generator the machine was able to "play freely with the words" "whose meaning the computer cannot yet understand."<br /> <br /> Herbert W. Franke - one of the most important protagonists in the early days of the artistic use of computer technology - wrote an enthusiastic review after the publication of the book in the strictly peer-reviewed journal "Leonardo" which deals primarily with the use of contemporary science and technology in art and music. This review also outlines the structure and intention of the book so we quote extensively from it: "There has been no book on computer art published hitherto that illustrates the mathematical-aesthetic principles of computer-generated graphics as well as this one. The task was defined by the team members themselves namely to investigate the possibilities of visual expression of 21 mathematical principles including superposition of curves moire random paths grids composed of elements and pseudoperspective effects. Of special interest are 'Stochastic Lines with Constraints' and 'Cube Representations' by W61k 'Rotations in Constant Steps' and 'Rotation Surfaces' by Böttger 'Bundles of Circles' by Warszawski and 'Random Super- position and Explosion of Lines' and 'Connection of Points by a Sequence of Circular Arcs' by Roubaud and Weiss. Several examples are shown of each ordering principle and a short description of each geometrical structure is given. The result is an impressive demonstration of mathematical principles that is not only interesting in itself for pedagogical reasons but that also provides food for thought on the relationship between mathematics and aesthetics. Furthermore this book leaves no room for doubt but that computer graphics put effects of Op art in the shade. The collaboration of mathematicians computer operators and artists has led to a remarkable document showing the artistic possibilities of advanced technology." Leonardo Vol. 6 No. 4 Autumn 1973 pp. 374-375. unknown

192855257Leipzig: Verlag Karl W. Hiersemann 1928. Limited edition. Hardcover. Very good condition. 1/350 copies. This is #326 hand-numbered on the colophon at the rear of the facsimile volume. This set provides a stunning full reproduction of the beautiful and notable late medieval illuminated manuscript Haggadah held at the State Library of Darmstadt along with critical text discussing the work.<br /> <br /> Originally produced by the scribe Israel Ben Meir of Heidelberg in conjunction with an unidentified artist this fascinating Passover Haggadah has been noted for its unique illustrations. Scholars have remarked on its inclusion of egalitarian images of men and women and have noted that it visually seems to have more in common with non-Jewish works from the period. The last two leaves of the manuscript are not connected with the Passover text but instead depict a hunting scene and the Fountain of Youth. All though the scholarly text of this edition written by German Rabbi Bruno Italiener 1881-1951 along with German art historian August L. Mayer 1885-1944 historian Aron Freimann 1871-1948 and Adolf Schmidt dates the manuscript to the 14th century superseding scholarship has now ruled out that possibility for stylistic reasons. The manuscript is now believed to have been produced sometime around 1430.<br /> <br /> Vol.1 text: Octavo. xi 1 313 1pp. 16 plates. Pebbled leather over decorative paper boards with gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the spine. Top edge in gilt. Frontispiece b/w photographic reproduction of the binding of the original manuscript. German and Hebrew text throughout critically discusses the Haggadah manuscript and analyses a number of other related manuscripts from the period. The final leaves contain 16 plates of high quality b/w photogravure reproducing pages of various manuscripts mentioned in the text. <br /> <br /> Vol. 2 "tafelband" facsimile volume: Folio. 58 double-sided leaves. Pebbled leather over decorative paper boards with gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the spine. Top edge in gilt. This volume gorgeously reproduces in full the content of the illuminated manuscript Haggadah. The reproduction utilizes what was at the time state of the art full color photography highlighted with lustrous gilt overprinting. The visual reproduction is surprising in its faithful accurate and vibrant reproduction of the leaves text and imagery. The resulting facsimile is successfully able to replicate the look and feel as well as the physical aspects of the interior of the original manuscript.<br /> <br /> Text volume with very minor rubbing to extremities of the binding and some minor foxing to the bottom and foredges of the book block. Interior with minor sporadic foxing to the pages usually confined to the margins. Facsimile volume with some very minor rubbing to the extremities of the binding. Interior clean and vibrant. Book blocks tight. Bindings in very good to near fine interiors in very good to near fine condition overall.

1930C3036<p>xii255 pages with frontispiece tables and diagrams. Octavo 8 1/2" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with brown lettering to spine. Signed on the frontispiece. Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 1516 Second edition. First published in 1929.</p><p>Fully annotated games played by the author illustrating the theories discussed in My System and arranged under the headings: Centralization<br />Restriction & blockade Over-protection The isolated queen's pawn Alternating maneuvers against enemy weaknesses Excursions through old and new territory of hypermodern chess. </p><p>Aron Nimzowitsch was a Latvian-born Danish chess player and writer. In the late 1920s Nimzowitsch was one of the best chess players in the world. He was the foremost figure amongst the hypermoderns and wrote a very influential book on chess theory: <em>My System </em>1925–1927. Nimzowitsch's seminal work <em>Chess Praxis</em> originally published in German in 1929. </p><p>The height of Nimzowitsch's career was the late 1920s and early 1930s. Chessmetrics places him as the third best player in the world from 1927 to 1931 behind Alexander Alekhine and José Capablanca. His most notable successes were first-place finishes at Copenhagen 1923 Marienbad 1925 Dresden 1926 Hanover 1926 the Carlsbad 1929 chess tournament and second place behind Alekhine at the San Remo 1930 chess tournament. Nimzowitsch never developed a knack for match play though; his best match success was a draw with Alekhine but the match consisted of only two games and took place in 1914 thirteen years before Alekhine became world champion.</p><p>Nimzowitsch is considered one of the most important players and writers in chess history. His works influenced numerous other players including Savielly Tartakower Milan Vidmar Richard Réti Akiba Rubinstein Mikhail Botvinnik Bent Larsen Viktor Korchnoi and Tigran Petrosian and his influence is still felt today. He wrote three books on chess strategy: <em>Mein System My System</em> 1925; <em>Die Praxis meines Systems The Practice of My System</em> 1929 commonly known as <em>Chess Praxis; and Die Blockade The Blockade</em> 1925 although much in this book is generally held to be a rehash of material already presented in <em>Mein System</em>. <em>Mein System</em> is considered to be one of the most influential chess books of all time. It sets out Nimzowitsch's most important ideas while his second most influential work <em>Chess Praxis</em> elaborates upon these ideas adds a few new ones and has immense value as a stimulating collection of Nimzowitsch's own games accompanied by his idiosyncratic hyperbolic commentary which is often as entertaining as instructive.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Signed by the author on the frontispiece. Cover heavily foxed soiled and color faded corners bumped and rubbed spine ends rubbed and frayed. A good copy internally very good.</p> Siedentop & Co hardcover
