Echoes of Tartini
"Echoes of Tartini: New Essays in Theory and Practice" brings together performers, music theorists and music historians to provide fresh perspectives on Giuseppe Tartini, one of the most important musicians and teachers of the late Baroque period. The book maps Tartini's influence across geographical regions—resonating outwards from Italy to France, Russia, Central Europe and beyond—and across time, notably documenting his lasting impact on violin pedagogy and acoustical theory. A somewhat liminal figure, Tartini's music and thought exemplify both Baroque sensibilities and nascent Enlightenment ideals; he lived and worked in one declining empire and in the borderlands of another; and his pedagogical innovations, while rooted in the aesthetics of his time, continue to resonate through the ages. "Echoes of Tartini" reflects on Giuseppe Tartini's work, the complex world he inhabited and his rich legacy.
Giovanni Gabrieli (ca. 1555-1612)
Giovanni Gabrieli (c.1555-1612) is the greatest Venetian composer of the late Renaissance, and one of the most significant figures of the period. Since the time when Richard Charteris was invited by the American Institute of Musicology to edit Giovanni Gabrieli's complete works in twelve volumes for the series Corpus mensurabitis music?, he has uncovered a considerable number of previously unknown works by this composer, and discovered a vast quantity of hitherto unknown sources of h is music. This thematic catalogue presents data about these discoveries and many others, besides collating an enormous amount of widely-scattered information.

Encounters with Verdi
An anthology of reminiscences, interviews, memoirs, and essays by a wide-ranging group of people--journalists, musicians, impresarios, or chance acquaintances--who met the reclusive and secretive composer at various moments during his long life. Each entry has a relevant place within the chronology of Verdi's life, and every reference to an unfamiliar event or name in the text is explained in the copious footnotes.
Italian Jewish Musicians and Composers under Fascism
This book is the first collection of multi-disciplinary research on the experience of Italian-Jewish musicians and composers in Fascist Italy. Drawing together seven diverse essays from both established and emerging scholars across a range of fields, this book examines multiple aspects of this neglected period of music history, including the marginalization and expulsion of Jewish musicians and composers from Italian theatres and conservatories after the 1938–39 Race Laws, and their subsequent exile and persecution. Using a variety of critical perspectives and innovative methodological approaches, these essays reconstruct and analyze the impact that the Italian Race Laws and Fascist Italy’s musical relations with Nazi Germany had on the lives and works of Italian Jewish composers from 1933 to 1945. These original contributions on relatively unresearched aspects of historical musicology offer new insight into the relationship between the Fascist regime and music.
