Richard Strauss in Context (Composers in Context)
Book information
Description
Richard Strauss in Context offers a distinctive approach to the study of a composer in that it places the emphasis on contextualizing topics rather than on biography and artistic output. One might say that it inverts the relationship between composer and context. Rather than studies of Strauss's librettists that discuss the texts themselves and his musical settings, for instance, this book offers essays on the writers themselves: their biographical circumstances, styles, landmark works, and broader positions in literary history. Likewise, Strauss's contributions to the concert hall are positioned within the broader development of the orchestra and trends in programmatic music. In short, readers will benefit from an elaboration of material that is either absent from or treated only briefly in existing publications. Through this supplemental and broader contextual approach, this book serves as a valuable and unique resource for students, scholars, and a general readership. 01.0_pp_i_i_Richard_Strauss_in_Context 02.0_pp_ii_ii_Composers_in_Context 03.0_pp_iii_iii_Richard_Strauss_in_Context 04.0_pp_iv_iv_Copyright_page 05.0_pp_v_viii_Contents 06.0_pp_ix_ix_Figures 07.0_pp_x_xviii_Notes_on_Contributors 08.0_pp_xix_xxiii_Preface 09.0_pp_xxiv_xxiv_Note_on_Translation 10.0_pp_1_76_Family_Friends_and_Collaborators 10.1_pp_3_10_Family_and_Upbringing 10.2_pp_11_19_Formative_Influences 10.3_pp_20_29_Pauline_de_Ahna 10.4_pp_30_38_Close_Friends 10.5_pp_39_49_Hofmannsthal 10.6_pp_50_58_The_Other_Librettists 10.7_pp_59_67_Stage_Collaborators 10.8_pp_68_76_Champions 11.0_pp_77_124_Career_Stations 11.1_pp_79_87_Munich_and_Garmisch 11.2_pp_88_95_Meiningen_and_Weimar 11.3_pp_96_104_Bayreuth 11.4_pp_105_113_Berlin 11.5_pp_114_124_Vienna 12.0_pp_125_170_Cultural_Engagement_and_Musical_Life 12.1_pp_127_136_Strauss_as_Reader 12.2_pp_137_144_Antiquity 12.3_pp_145_152_Philosophy_and_Religion 12.4_pp_153_161_The_Allgemeine_Deutsche_Musikverein 12.5_pp_162_170_The_Genossenschaft_Deutscher_Tonsetzer

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
