192 pages including index and an appendix listing contemporary personalities in Japan and Japanese-Occupied Asia. "The present study falls into two sections which are complementary. The first deals with machinery and methods and endeavours to give as full and detailed a survey as is possible of the various government organs directing and controlling political warfare, the structure of the Japanese press, the organisation of Japanese broadcasting, the functioning of censorship, and the extent to which education, science, literature, the arts and the cinema are being employed for purposes of propaganda, both in the Japanese homeland and in the wider area of the conquered empire... The second part deals... with the aims and policies of Japanese propaganda, and attempts to give an outline of the way in which the machinery, sketched in the first part, is being operated." - from introduction. Prior owner's name and pencil erasure atop front endpaper else unmarked. Minor adhesive residue upon back endpaper, possibly from bookplate or pocket removal. Evidence of small sticker removal at base of front board. No library markings per se. Above average wear and soiling to red cloth boards. Spine sunned but its gilt lettering remains legible.

Not in Hoboken.<br/><br/>Mendelssohn composed his incidental music for a production of Jean Racine's Athalie 1691 commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia. It was staged for the court at the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin on 1 December 1845. <br/><br/>"Though little-known today the music for Athalie merits performance. Especially striking are Mendelssohn's paraphrases of chorales including Ach Gott vom Himmel sieh' darein and in a scene in which the high priest Joad describes a vision of the New Jerusalem Vom Himmel hoch.<br/><br/>One of the most gifted and versatile prodigies Mendelssohn stood at the forefront of German music during the 1830s and 40s as conductor pianist organist and above all composer. His musical style fully developed before he was 20 drew upon a variety of influences including the complex chromatic counterpoint of Bach the formal clarity and gracefulness of Mozart and the dramatic power of Beethoven and Weber.<br/><br/>Mendelssohn's emergence into the first rank of 19th-century German composers coincided with efforts by music historiographers to develop the concept of a Classic-Romantic dialectic in 18th and 19th-century music. To a large degree his music reflects a fundamental tension between Classicism and Romanticism in the generation of German composers after Beethoven." R. Larry Todd in Grove Music Online.

Rare 1 copy located outside of Italy at Oxford. <br/><br/>Paulus an oratorio to a libretto by Julius Schubring after Acts was premiered as part of the Niederrheinische Musikfest in Düsseldorf 22 May 1836.<br/><br/>Mendelssohn distinguished himself in many fields and his contributions to sacred choral music are no exception. He was the most prominent advocate for the music of J.S. Bach reviving the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 and helped to reestablish the oratorio by providing two superb examples: St. Paul 1836 and Elijah 1846.<br/><br/>"From Bach's Passions and Handel's oratorios Mendelssohn borrowed the use of the traditional narrator to relate in recitatives the dramatic action of the work. Conspicuously Bachian are the chorales interspersed throughout the oratorio to demarcate the principal structural divisions diffusing according to Carl Klingemann 'a calmness through the whole'. On the other hand a debt to Handel is revealed in the rich variety of the choruses which include several that directly engage in the dramatic action and several cast in a variety of fugal styles. Prefacing the oratorio is an overture that evokes Paul's struggle for spiritual awakening by means of the chorale Wachet auf and a dissonant fugue with its subject derived from the first strain of the chorale."

A satire on the Berlin academy written jointly by Lessing and Moses Mendelssohn criticizing the philosophical system of Alexander Popeís Essay on Man 1733-1734. Lessing German writer critic and dramatist was one of the most outstanding representatives of the Enlightenment era. His plays and theoretical writings often witty and ironic substantially influenced the development of German literature. In 1755 the collaborative work of Lessing and his friend philosopher Moses Mendelssohn anonymously appeared in the form of this provocative treatise Pope ein Metaphysiker! Pope as a Metaphysician. The controversial treatise dissected the subject of a contest at the Prussian Royal Academy. The two friends wrote it to confirm that there cannot be a true comparison between a poetic and a philosophic conception. <br/><br/> Bern: in der Hallerschen Buchandlung paperback books
