Online-Tutorial verfügbar bei Henle Masterclass Rachmaninows legendäres Opus 18, oft liebevoll als "Rach 2" tituliert, ist für viele das romantische Klavierkonzert schlechthin. Nach der umjubelten Uraufführung in Moskau 1901 machte es weltweit Furore und verhalf Rachmaninow endgültig zu internationalem Ansehen als Komponist. Bis heute gelten die bezaubernden Themen und elegischen Streichermelodien des Konzerts als Markenzeichen Rachmaninows, ja der russischen Musik überhaupt. Für die erste Urtextausgabe dieses epochalen Werks konnte die autographe Partitur im Moskauer Glinka-Museum im Original eingesehen werden. Auch Rachmaninows eigene Tonaufnahmen wurden berücksichtigt. Der neu erstellte Klavierauszug garantiert gute Spielbarkeit. Er stimmt genau überein mit der ebenfalls neu herausgegebenen Orchesterpartitur und dem Orchestermaterial. Beides erscheint bei Breitkopf & Härtel.

Longlisted for the Jhalak Prize 2021A TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2020Shortlisted for the Katharine Briggs Award 2020'Deirdre Mask's book was just up my Strasse, alley, avenue and boulevard.' -Simon Garfield, author of Just My Type'Fascinating ... intelligent but thoroughly accessible ... full of surprises' - Sunday TimesWhen most people think about street addresses they think of parcel deliveries, or visitors finding their way. But who numbered the first house, and where, and why? What can addresses tell us about who we are and how we live together?Deirdre Mask looks at the fate of streets named after Martin Luther King, Jr., how ancient Romans found their way, and why Bobby Sands is memorialised in Tehran. She explores why it matters if, like millions of people today, you don't have an address.From cholera epidemics to tax hungry monarchs, Mask discovers the different ways street names are created, celebrated, and in some cases, banned. Full of eye-opening facts, fascinating people and hidden history, this book shows how addresses are about identity, class and race. But most of all they are about power: the power to name, to hide, to decide who counts, who doesn't, and why.'A must read for urbanists and all those interested in cities and modern economic and social life.' - Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class

From imaginary numbers to the fourth dimension and beyond, mathematics has always been about imagining things that seem impossible at first glance. In x+y, Eugenia Cheng draws on the insights of higher-dimensional mathematics to reveal a transformative new way of talking about the patriarchy, mansplaining and sexism: a way that empowers all of us to make the world a better place.Using precise mathematical reasoning to uncover everything from the sexist assumptions that make society a harder place for women to live to the limitations of science and statistics in helping us understand the link between gender and society, Cheng's analysis replaces confusion with clarity, brings original thinking to well worn arguments - and provides a radical, illuminating and liberating new way of thinking about the world and women's place in it.
