Music Minus One Bb Clarinet or A Clarinet: Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, KV622 (Book & CD)

Book Description

Performed by Denitza Lavchieva, clarinet Accompaniment: Tempi Concertati Chamber Orchestra Conductor: Nayden Todorov Mozart did not make extensive use of the clarinet until comparatively late in his career, but he wrote exquisitely for the instrument, and the two scores dedicated to his friend, Anton Stadler-the Quintet, KV581 and the Concerto, KV622-are among his most beautiful works. Both, incidentally, belong to the final year of his life. The Clarinet Concerto is in the conventional three movements, with music that transcends conventionality in its remarkable sense of repose and serenity, and what Bernhard Paumgartner has called 'its incredible warmth of tone, perfect balance and unmatched perfection of style.' The concerto had a tremendous resurgence in popularity with the release of the Academy-Award-winning 1985 film Out of Africa, of which the piece formed a major element. This deluxe 2-CD set includes the concerto in its original key with printed parts for both A and B-flat clarinets, and adds a repitched version for B-flat clarinetists, allowing players of that instrument easier execution plus the ability to learn the same fingerings as the composer's intended A clarinet for performance purposes. Includes a high-quality printed music score (featuring both A and B-flat clarinet parts) on ivory paper; a compact disc featuring the complete concerto in digital stereo, followed by the concerto performed again, but minus you, the soloist.

Great Quality Accompaniment and Wonderful Value.......2005-05-23

Face it. It's difficult to find a quality recording to accompany your solos. This Book and CD set does a wonderful job. The 'score' is, quite simply, the clarinet part, although I at first thought it would be the full orchestra parts. You may change the tempo using a variable-speed CD player(or Windows Media Player), as is suggested in the accompanying documentation. The soloist on the example tracks is quite good, and the orchestra accompaniment is excellent. Make sure you have a CD player you can hear over your playing, however.

Overall, this product is a great buy. For contest preparation, where you play with a piano part, however, I would recommend the Contest Solos Series from Music Minus One. The first movement can be found in "Advanced Clarinet Solos, vol. II", the second in "Intermediate Clarinet Solos, vol. III", and the third in "Advanced Clarinet Solos, vol. I".

Book Description

Mozart's Clarinet Concerto is of supreme importance as his last instrumental work. Yet there are a number of special problems surrounding the piece, since the autograph is lost and the unique instrument for which it was written has not survived. This book presents a wealth of background information, an analysis of the Concerto, discussion of performance practice and details of surviving relevant instruments.

Advanced Music Appreciation, but worth the effort.......2001-11-06

Mozart's K. 622 is certainly one of his greatest concerti. If you have listened to this work several times, or simply want a better understanding, Lawson's book is ideal. Although I am not a clarinetist, this book has profoundly shaped my listening and appreciation of this masterpiece.

True to this Cambridge series, the concerto is put into its historical context. Did you know that the clarinet used in the late 1700s was toned differently than today's? Did you know there is no cadenza?

The chapter on design and structure is arguably the best set of program notes on the piece. The descriptions are nearly bar-by-bar, so you will need to have a score handy. For example, the development section of the first movement (Allegro) changes tonality from E major to F# minor to D major to B minor to F# minor in about 20 bars. Where the book does justice is to show parrallels both within movements as well as between movements.
Indeed, there are even references to other Mozart works, especially to the esteeemd Clarinet Quintet and even clarinet portrayls in Don Giovanni and Cosi Fan Tutte. Ideally, this book would have been more accessible through an interactive CD-ROM with links to those themes. This then is the reason to get the book--the rich context, both musically and historically, in which this piece is put. In other words, a careful reading of Chapter 6, with a recording and the score, and my finger on the pause button, have given me increased insight into not only this piece, but several other Mozart conerti and arias.

Please note that the book is scholarly and I have onl described a single chapter. For most other books, I would not consider the purchase of a book for a single chapter a good value. Hoewver, bearing in mind that Mozart's Clarinet Conerto is THE definitive clarinet concerto and a piece no Mozart lover should be without, it is a worthwhile investment. To the first time listener, the last movement, with its rapid changes in tessitura, rich textures, and addictive melodies will offer the listener bubbling satisfaction. By reading the book, it will offer increased insight into this masterpeice of this genius.

Mozart Clarinet Concerto.......2001-02-05

An excellant book for the clarinet player and Mozart enthusiast. It provides clear concise information regarding the conception of the concerto as well as the various people who helped shape the piece. Included is a comparision of the concerto today and the original version and how it has been modified in the 200+ years of it's existance due to the changes made to the clarinet, etc. A must have piece of literature, as a clarinet player and advancing musician, I highly reccommend it.

Book Description

This work captures the rapid growth of social organizations in 1960s England, vividly detailing what if felt like to be there at the beginning of a social organization and the dire political and economic circumstances that prompted their creation. Collecting stories from the inspired groups that created many of modern-day England's most prominent community institutions, this book conveys the struggles and success of these groups, explaining how, in time, many came to be excepted and relied-upon aspects of the English social fabric. Thirty-eight important figures from this tumultuous time in British history are interviewed, including the founders of groups like Shelter, the Claimants Union, and the North Kensington Law Centre.

Book Description

In the late 1920s radio exploded almost overnight into being America's dominant entertainment, just as television would do twenty-five years later. Gerald Nachman, himself a product of the radio years, takes us back to the heyday of radio, bringing to life the great performers and shows, as well as the not-so-great and not-great-at-all. Nachman analyzes the many genres that radio exploited or invented, from the soap opera to the sitcom to the quiz show, zooming in to study closely key performers like Jack Benny, Bob Hope, and Fred Allen. Raised on Radio is a generous, instructive, and sinfully readable salute to an extraordinary American phenomenon.

A must have for OTR fans!.......2006-11-08

Gerald Nachman has captured the essence of the American era of entertainment known as "Radio's Golden Age" 1920-1962. His descriptions of the shows,formats,and content of the various types of broadcasts (news, comedy,soaps,quiz,etc.) is succint, pithy, and honest. I have been an OTR fan for over 35 years, and I believe this history of radio in America is perhaps one of the top 3 books on the subject. There are many tidbits and facts about shows and performers I had never read in any other book on radio.
Nachman writes in easy to read conversational style, offering many insights and comments about shows and personalities as far back as 70 years ago, at the same time making logical comparisons to more recent personalities or forms of entertainment available today. I highly recommend this wonderful look at an almost lost art in American entertainment!

A trip down memory lane.......2006-07-26

Anyone in his 70s remembers the Golden Age of Radio. Gerald Nachman, an old college classmate of mine, is at or near that age. The result is a strong book that isn't based on others' recollections, but is based on Nachman's own experiences. Certainly he verified some facts by using normal research and reference tools, but Gerry's memories here are his own. They're vivid, they're succinct, and they're just wonderful. Raised on Radio is a gem, not because my friend wrote it, but because its title is truthful, thus the stories inside the book are truthful.

Good starting point for casual readers on "Old Time Radio".......2004-05-25

This review is based on the hardcover version.

This is neither a formal history of American radio's "Golden Age" (c.1928-1950), nor is it a book likely to please every "Old Time Radio" fanatic who wants elaborately detailed accounts of his favorite programs and performers. Gerald Nachman came of age in the waning days of bigtime network radio; he fondly remembers the medium; and he tries to convey some of his warm regard (dare one call it "nostalgia?") for the people and broadcasts that have most impressed him. For those who were not "raised on radio" (or, more likely, grew up in the later decades of disc jockeys and "talk"), the book provides an introduction to the basics of Old Time Radio.

Nachman affectionately hits the high points with chapters on Jack Benny, Fred Allen, and Bob Hope, a paean to the ultimate radio soap opera, "One Man's Family," and insightful analyses of such cultural icons as Walter Winchell, the Quiz Kids, Burns and Allen, Arthur Godfrey, and others who made a medium that (along with the movies) dominated American popular culture in the 1930s and 1940s. His assessment of the "Amos `n' Andy" controversy - should African-Americans be offended or flattered by two well-meaning white comedians in aural blackface? - is on the mark. On the other hand, Nachman doesn't put enough emphasis on Orson Welle's 1938 "War of the Worlds" broadcast, which demonstrated the power of radio to scare the hell out of casual listeners; but there are numerous other books on that phenomenon. One also can quibble that there's not a chapter about commercial radio's efforts to popularize "high culture" - e.g., Arturo Toscanini, Sigmund Spaeth, the Metropolitan Opera - although Nachman does mention them in passing. Most of the chapters are devoted to specific entertainment genres - soap operas, kids' shows, dramatic series and serials, quiz programs, musical/variety shows, westerns, etc. - and cover major performers and programs in each.

As one might expect, Nachman bemoans the demise of "live" network radio in the 1950s and 1960s, as Americans turned from prime-time listening to prime-time viewing. If the book has a major failing, it's a lack of information about and understanding of American radio audiences and why they largely abandoned network radio for television. A chapter on audiences and the radio ratings systems might have been appropriate - but, again, this is not a history so much as an "appreciation."

Nachman cites several interviews and includes a long list of books he apparently consulted for his own work; but since there are no footnotes, it's difficult for a non-specialist to judge if there are as many factual errors here as other reviewers claim. (By the way, Adlai Stevenson WAS a presidential contender in 1960, at least until John F. Kennedy locked up the Democratic nomination; but there was no primary "election night" prior to Winchell's departure from network radio that year, so he couldn't have made his on-air comment comparing Stevenson with Christine Jorgenson quite as Nachman relates it.)

Still, Nachman writes in a lively, easy-flowing style; his chapters are well-organized and self-contained, short enough for casual reading. All in all, "Raised on Radio" is a good introduction for younger readers (born after 1960, shall we say) to the basics of Old Time Radio, a good place to get one's bearings before tackling more specialized books and, of course, listening to the programs themselves.

Relive the days when radio was king..........2003-11-19

I really love this book... Its a great read... neither overly scholarly (as in Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...) nor overly wishy washy like some titles that might come to mind. Its just one of those books you can sit back, read and enjoy. In the process you'll get a great overview of the rise and fall of radio... you'll meet the stars and the personality in front of and behind the mic, from the actors and executives, right down to the writers and sound effects men. - - I'm not sure if one could call it definitive... but for sure whether its definitive or not, it tells the story well and is re-readable as many of those classic radio shows are still relistenable. - - All in all, if you're a die hard "OTR" buff and want to know who played so and so in episode 154 of a certain radio show, its original airdate, and when it re-aired... the book probably isn't for you... - - If, however, to hear the story of radio as a whole, relive this golden age, and experience it not only from the perspective of the people who made it, and the generation that grew up on it this is one must have piece of literature - - (...to boot, almost all of my favorite radio shows were covered... atleast in brief !)

Great Radio Book.......2002-11-09

This highly entertaining book differs from others in the genre in that it is not a fawning fan book. It is lots of fun and very well written. Some OTR fans have slammed it for its numerous errors (and it's true; it could have used a fact checker), but Nachman is after more important game than radio trivia, and he succeeds,

But I do have to register one strong objection. It's his assesment of Eddie Cantor. Now, Cantor may indeed have been a lousy rat in his personal life, as Nachman's informants report --that I don't know about -- but the book is one hundred per cent wrong about Cantor's show (at least his show from the mid-forties on). Nachman dismisses Cantor as an essentially talentless hack, and his show as depressingly unfunny. A few years ago, back when I first read this book, I accepted Nachman's criticism as probably factual (though I did remember enjoying Cantor's movies on the late, late show many years ago). The fact is that at the time I had never heard any of Cantor's radio shows so I had nothing to compare his comments with. Then about a year ago I ran across a partial episode of one Cantor's shows. It was hilarious and made me hungry for more. A few months ago I was able to obtain six or seven dozen shows dating from WW II and later. Now, it's possible that Nachman was going by Cantor's shows from the thirtes, when radio was much different than the situation comedy oriented 1940s. Whatever the case all I can say is that going by the fifty or so shows I've heard so far, Nachman is wrong, wrong, wrong. Cantor's show is hilarious and every bit as good as Burns and Allen, Jack Benny, Phil Harris, or any other top shows of the period. The writing is first rate. Second bananas Harry von Zell and Bert Gordon as the Mad Russian are standouts, and as good as any supporting players on the other shows. Better, really. Cantor's show has quickly become one of my very favorites. My 11 year old son loves it. Even my 15 year old daughter -- the one with the metal stud in her nose -- loves the show.

So read Nachman. He's good. More important, listen to the shows yourself.

This book offers a very high level overview of Peoplesoft Security. You won't become a security architech overnight (or even in a few weeks) after reading this book. That said, it does do a good job of what it sets out to do.

Like a navigators chart to a new world this book helps you avoid the shoals and rocks often hidden from view. With stark simplicity and a little forced humor, you are shown all of the paths one might take to reach your security destination. Sounding at times like PS's own introduction to security Mr. Carter leads you through possible routes and why they should be taken. Well worth the $, good to have for a quick reference, especially for those of us who are starting to deal with Senior Moments.

Good and Concise.......2005-07-17

I found this to be a good and concise summary of PeopleSoft security. While this information is totally found in white papers and PeopleTools documentation, it is presented in a clear and concise manner. What it does not include though are the links between primary security sets and application specific requirements (i.e. H/R Globalization and H/R defaults). It also does not go into specifics on Portal Synchronization and some of the "undocumented features" that go along with it. On the whole though, I recommend it for those who want a concise, easy to read PS security manual.

Waste of money.......2005-01-28

I'm disappointed with this book. PeopleSoft PeopleBooks and Red Papers provide better explanation. The author, for the most part, did not add any value. I wasted $20 on this book.
