Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
"Young Matthew's first visit to the Mayfair bridge club in New York is made to try to rescue his schoolfriend Stanley. Once there, though, he becomes fascinated by the idea of money bridge, and how different the game is from the one he knows. His education in both bridge and life skills proceeds at the hands of the beautiful and dangerous Chops, the odious 'Pizza' McCarver, Otto the mad Hungarian, and the other singular denizens of the Mayfair. Before long, there is a mysterious accident at the club, and as the tensions among the players stretch to breaking point, a second tragedy seems almost inevitable. But this time, Matthew himself is the prime suspect. Can Matthew solve the mystery and clear his name? And just as important, can he gain some credibility at the bridge table and survive amongst the card sharks at the Mayfair Club?"--Back cover

The Roberto Gerhard Companion
Author: Monty Adkins
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317017226
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
More than forty years after the composer's death, the music of Roberto Gerhard (1896-1970) continues to be recorded and performed and to attract international scholarly interest. The Roberto Gerhard Companion is the first full length scholarly work on this composer noted for his sharp intellect and original, exploring mind. This book builds on the outcomes of two recent international conferences and includes contributions by scholars from Spain, the USA and UK. The essays collected here explore themes and trends within Gerhard’s work, using individual or groups of works as case studies. Among the themes presented are the way Gerhard’s work was shaped by his Catalan heritage, his education under Pedrell and Schoenberg, and his very individual reaction to the latter’s teaching and methods, notably Gerhard’s very distinctive approach to serialism. The influence of these and other cultural and literary figures is an important underlying theme that ties essays together. Exiled from Catalonia from 1939, Gerhard spent the remainder of his life in Cambridge, England, composing a string of often ground-breaking compositions, notably the symphonies and concertos composed in the 1950s and 1960s. A particular focus in this book is Gerhard's electronic music. He was a pioneer in this genre and the book will contain the first rigorous studies of this music as well as the first accurate catalogue of this electronic output. His ground-breaking output of incidental music for radio and the stage is also given detailed consideration.
