ALLEGRO APPASSIONATO Op.43
Allegro Appassionato, Op.43, was composed by Camille Saint-Sa禱ns for cello and piano in 1873 and later he realized the version for cello and orchestra (1876). The work in its original form had its premi癡re in February 1873 at a concert of the Soci矇t矇 Nationale de Musique with the cellist Jules-Bernard Laserre (1838-1906), to whom it was dedicated. This transcription of Allegro Appassionato for flute and harp by Elia Guarneri Silvino and Monica Turoni is based on the cello and piano Durand's first edition (1875).
The Guitar
Guitars inspire cult-like devotion: an aficionado can tell you precisely when and where their favorite instrument was made, the wood it is made from, and that wood's unique effect on the instrument's sound. In The Guitar, Chris Gibson and Andrew Warren follow that fascination around the globe as they trace guitars all the way back to the tree. The authors take us to guitar factories, port cities, log booms, remote sawmills, Indigenous lands, and distant rainforests, on a quest for behind-the-scenes stories and insights into how guitars are made, where the much-cherished guitar timbers ultimately come from, and the people and skills that craft those timbers along the way.Gibson and Warren interview hundreds of people to give us a first-hand account of the ins and outs of production methods, timber milling, and forest custodianship in diverse corners of the world, including the Pacific Northwest, Madagascar, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Japan, China, Hawaii, and Australia. They unlock surprising insights into longer arcs of world history: on the human exploitation of nature, colonialism, industrial capitalism, cultural tensions, and seismic upheavals. But the authors also strike a hopeful note, offering a parable of wider resonance--of the incredible but underappreciated skill and care that goes into growing forests and felling trees, milling timber, and making enchanting musical instruments, set against the human tendency to reform our use (and abuse) of natural resources only when it may be too late. The Guitar promises to resonate with anyone who has ever fallen in love with a guitar.
The Piano
Sixteen-year-old Nicole Lynne Yaffa's dream of having her very own black ebony baby grand piano and becoming a concert pianist was shattered by her father's refusal to allow musical instruments in the house. When Nicole would approach the subject of music, her father would immediately suggest gymnastics, soccer, or dance. Sports held no interest for Nicole, music was her passion. The empty place within her could never be filled with anything else. Money for a piano and music lessons was not an issue, it wasn't as if her father couldn't afford it, there had to be a deeper reason for not allowing musical instrument in the house. Niccole's extra ordinary talent to play by ear was a gift. In preparation for her presentation at the Children's Music Forum, she had listened to Chopin's Nocturne so much that it rang in her spirit waiting to escape her fingertips onto the piano keys. Nicole's only opportunity to practice was in the school music lab while she waited for her brother to finish his sports practice. Adjusting from private school to public school Nicole found it difficult to make friends because their interest and values were so different from hers. Her obsession with her music is a defense against becoming involved in the reckless actions of her classmates. In spite of the opposition of her classmates, Nicole's determination and love for her music gave her a fierce drive for success. The lie that Nicole's father had believed all these years, that his mother had left because she loved her music more than she loved her family, is revealed and he is able to accept his daughter's passion and talent. "It was music that separated our family and it is music that has brought us back together."

The Art of Listening; Conversations with Cellists
In The Art of Listening, Anthony Arnone interviews 13 of the top cello teachers of our time, sharing valuable insights about performing, teaching, music, and life. While almost every other aspect of twenty-first-century life has been changed by technological advancements, the art of playing and teaching the cello has largely remained the same. Our instruments are still made exactly the same way and much of what we learn is passed on by demonstration and word of mouth from generation to generation. We are as much historians of music as we are teachers of the instrument. The teaching lineage in the classical music world has formed a family tree of sorts with a select number of iconic names at the top of the tree, such as Pablo Casals, Gregor Piatigorsky, and Leonard Rose. A large percentage of professional cellists working today studied with these giants of the cello world, or with their students. In addition to discussing the impact of these masters and their personal experience as their students, the renowned cellists interviewed in this book touch on a variety of topics from teaching philosophies to how technology has changed classical music.

The Voice of the Wind
Scholars have long provided bagpipes with a creation myth that stretches back to the ancient Near East, where they supposedly appear in the biblical Book of Daniel. It then has the Greeks playing them and Roman legions carrying them to the ends of the Empire. But Michael Peter Vereno's The Voice of the Wind calls this story into question. Using linguistic analysis, Vereno shows that the oldest 'evidence' is often dubious at best and demonstrates that supposed ancient stories of bagpipe origins- and sometimes even their names-were later scholarly creations to give them a respectable, ancient pedigree. His erudite examination calls into question many conclusions and settled 'facts' to reveal a more enlightening story of bagpipe origins. It redefines its field and represents a significant contribution to historical organology. Readers with an interest in modern bagpipes, the history of instruments, and the interpretation of ancient and more recent textual sources will all find something to engage them and complicate their beliefs.
