The Song of the Lark
Author: Willa Cather
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101662018
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
In this powerful portrait of the self-making of an artist, Willa Cather created one of her most extraordinary heroines. Thea Kronborg, a minister's daughter in a provincial Colorado town, seems destined from childhood for a place in the wider world. But as her path to the world stage leads her ever farther from the humble town she can't forget and from the man she can't afford to love, Thea learns that her exceptional musical talent and fierce ambition are not enough. It is in the solitude of a tiny rock chamber high in the side of an Arizona cliff--"a cleft in the heart of the world"--that Thea comes face to face with her own dreams and desires, stripped clean by the haunting purity of the ruined cliff dwellings and inspired by the whisperings of their ancient dust. Here she finds the courage to seize her future and to use her gifts to catch "the shining, elusive element that is life itself--life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose." In prose as shimmering and piercingly true as the light in a desert canyon, Cather takes us into the heart of a woman coming to know her deepest self.

40 Daily Exercises
Author: Carl Czerny
Publisher: Schott Music
ISBN: 3795729688
Category : Music
Languages : un
Pages : 64
Book Description
The specific feature of '40 Daily Exercises' the extraordinary density of musical examples and specific technical problems in this small edition. In mostly one-bar formulas, Czerny, with his almost inexhaustible didactic imagination, maps out a cosmos of technical training material which virtually condenses the idioms of the classical and early Romantic piano music between Haydn and Czerny's pupil Franz Liszt. Each study deals with a particular musical-technical problem which varies in appearance and is usually edited for both hands. All individual expressions expand and deepen the basic skills to be practised so that each individual number offers considerable learning potential.
