New English Paperback. 4to. (32 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 176 p., musical scores. Compositions for baglama: In baglama Bozuk, Misket and Müstezat tunings.= Baglama için besteler: Baglama, Bozuk, Misket ve Müstezat düzenlerinde. The instrument of Baglama, which has been shaped within many years in the rural areas and has a rich and profound history, began to create its tradition in the urban areas after the establishment of the Turkish Republic. In the past, this instrument mostly passed down the vocal melodies; however, now it is agreed by many music authorities that it is about time it must be a part of instrumental music on its own as well. The primary purpose of this book is to contribute to Baglama new tradition without ignoring its richness dating back to old times. This book involves twenty works composed in the tunings of baglama, of bozuk, of misket and of müstezat. Those compositions, prepared to be played in both picked and pickless (selpe) styles, are thought to be beneficial for baglama education as well, and thus it is agreed that methodical symbols should be used in the notation.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 164 p. For over three decades I had the opportunity to research on Ottoman musical writings in the Turkish libraries and to consult private collections. Concurrently, I was able to study Ottoman musical manuscripts kept in libraries outside Turkey. Along those years of research I carried out persistent investigations that gave me access to a large number of Ottoman materials ranging from the fifteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century. As a result of examining numerous musical manuscripts in Ottoman Turkish literature I discerned the commonplace of themes in the majority of writings and evaluated their structure at formal and generative level. Moreover, I was able to ascertain the significant purport of certain sources over others and to compare several versions of the texts. The idea of this catalogue evolved gradually in my mind from the perception that an explicit presentation of the makams would constitute a valuable reference both for evaluating the historical process of creating and performing music, as well as for establishing the inventory of modal categories and their taxonomic relations. As time passed, I was able to determine the development of a genuine Turkish concept in works that provided descriptive and analytical matter, and to detect through manuscript lines the significance of the process involving the semantics of the practice of music at different periods. The present book is mainly focused upon the practical theory of the makams reflected in the production and performance of the melodic scales the way they are described in Ottoman manuscripts.
New English Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. 200 p., b/w and color ills. "Prince Dimitrie Cantemir (1673-1723) combined a multitude of talents in a complex personality of spiritual enlightenment and intellectual curiosity. His works form a reservoir of facts and histories that reveal surprising angles to many philosophical and cultural questions through a maze of revolving evasions in search for the deep meaning. Cantemir never ceased to amaze European and Turkish intellectuals with the wealth of his analyses and observations across interrelated areas of knowledge. The humanistic curiosity of Cantemir has no limits as he continues to move around the multifaceted points of his attention in search of the ultimate perspective to his subjects. The Turks, their actions and customs aggressive and kindly, genuine and symbolic, ordinary and majestic, stand in overwhelming light on the center stage of Cantemir's world of configurations.".
New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 180 p. This book scrutinizes three different theoretical aspects of Ottoman sources. The first essay discusses the principles of makam classification proposed by diverse Ottoman writers and compares their ideas within socio-cultural setting. The resulting analogies and polarities are outlined in order to emphasize the essential ideas in the perspective of musical creativity. The second essay explores Dimitrie Cantemir's compositions and establishes the authenticity of the pieces that have circulated in the general repertory of Turkish classical music under his signature. The provenance of the compositions evidences the way written and oral sources crossed borders and combined as to further generate new materials out of a commixture of original and derivative elements. In essence, oral tradition has interacted and interfered in forming Cantemirian repertory adding versions and variants that were transmitted independently and were accepted as authoritative creations by the community of musicians and the public of music lovers. The third essay evokes the personality of Hasan Talat Bey of Bebek, a remarkable patron of musicians and collector of music, who sponsored weekly musical gatherings in his mansion. There gathered frequently the music makers, creators and performers of songs and instrumental pieces. The happening of music gatherings was memorialized in the tablets with written music and decorative embellishments the host used to offer the guests as souvenirs. In addition, the discussion includes the survey of the song collection owned by Hasan Talat with title entries.

Historiae Musicae Cultores - Biblioteca Compilata tra il 1637 e il 1640, questa fonte in 16 volumi contiene una mole considerevole di musica per tastiera di provenienza eterogenea, anche se prevalgono le opere di autori italiani e della Germania meridionale. Aspetti importanti del manoscritto: la trasmissione di varianti rispetto alle fonti a stampa; la tipologia dell?ornamentazione inserita dal copista; le modalit? di compilazione del manoscritto; l?importanza rivestita in particolare dalla musica della scuola veneziana, di cui il manoscritto ci trasmette moltissimi ?unica? These sixteen manuscript volumes, compiled from 1637 to 1640, contain a vast amount of keyboard music of different origins but chiefly by Italian and South-German authors.

214pp VG/none First edition in English, printed at the request of the Ministry of Munitions. Editorial sturdy green cloth with bright gilt lettering on front board and spine, spine slightly faded and light foxing on pastedowns and endpapers otherwise a very good, nice copy, crisp and clean. Important work by the Italian scientist Galileo Ferraris, originally published in Italian as The Fundamental Properties of Dioptric Instruments, here translated into English by Oscar Faber. From the review which apperared in Nature, the scientific journal: "The original of this translation was published by Prof. Galileo Ferraris, of Turin, in 1876. As a copy of this original could apparently not be procured, the English translation was made from a German one by Lippich, which appeared in 1879. At the time of its appearance the book unquestionably marked a great advance in the treatment of its subject, and well deserved the extremely favourable review with which Abbe honoured the German translation in the first volume of the Zeitschrift für Instrumentenkunde."

220 p. + Frontis. Original blue cloth binding. Original dust jacket. Dr. John Alfred Brashear was born in 1840 at Brownsville, Fayette, County, Pa., southeast of Pittsburgh. He later moved to the Steel City, and despite the smoky skies so prevalent in his day, Brashear's love of the night sky never waned. Brashear built his first telescope in his South Side home in the early 1870s. His optical prowess is apparent even today - many of the telescopes he made still are in use around the world. Moreover, the one-time John Brashear Co. has evolved to become the Contraves Corp., an internationally known maker of superb optics. In its underground facility near Wampum, Pa., Contraves is working on the completion of the 8-meter mirror for the Subaru Telescope, to be installed in Hawaii. Brashear died April, 1920. His remains and those of his wife Phoebe are interned in the crypt beneath the Keeler Memorial Reflecting Telescope at Allegheny Observatory in Pittsburgh's Riverview Park. Brashear, a one-time director of Allegheny Observatory, is the man most responsible for its construction. The plaque in the observatory's crypt. reads: "We have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." PA 48 x4

cm. 17 x 24, 590 pp. con 8 tavv. f.t. e CD-ROM. Fondazione Giorgio Cini - Studi di musica veneta - Quaderni vivaldiani Il libro giunge a colmare una lacuna vistosa nella letteratura storico-musicale. Lacuna quasi inspiegabile, considerata la fama conquistata nel Settecento dai quattro ?cori? femminili degli ospedali veneziani, per l?eccellenza delle esecuzioni e per la collaborazione artistica di tanti compositori celebri. Frutto di un sistematico lavoro di ricerca, la monografia ricostruisce con dovizia di dettagli inediti la storia delle istituzioni, il contesto dell?offerta musicale, le fisionomie dei cori e dei repertori. This book fills a major gap in historical music literature. An almost inexplicable gap, considering the fame the four female ?choirs? of Venice?s hospitals gained for their excellent performances and artistic cooperation with many famous composers in the 18th century. With many previously unpublished details, this monograph, the fruit of systematic research work, traces the history of the institutions, the context of the supply of music, the characteristics of the choirs and their repertoires. 1137 gr. 590 p.
