Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Minor creasing at top right corner of cover. Glossy and clean covers. Clean and tight pages. The English composer Cornelius Cardew [1936-81) was among the most adventurous, controversial and innovative musicians of his generation. After an initial association with Stockhausen and the European avant-garde, he became engaged with the aesthetic ideas of John Cage and the New York School. A leading figure in the experimental music of the 1960s, Cardew is widely acknowledged as a pioneer of indeterminacy, graphic notation, free improvisation and performer involvement. As well as extending the boundaries of music in unprecedented directions, he enquired deeply into its social relevance and meaning. His passionate and untiring quest for wider social significance led him eventually to become a political activist. In the 1970s he repudiated his earlier experimental work and adopted a more traditional musical language. He joined a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist party and devoted himself to political action, at the same time searching for ways to express his commitment in musical terms. At the height of his political involvement he died tragically at the age of 45, killed by a hit-and-run driver near his home in East London This Reader brings together a diverse collection of Cardew's major essays and writings from different stages of his career, together with commentaries by other writers associated with his work. It reflects developments, changes and contradictions in his thinking about music from the late 1950s to the end of his life. As a companion volume to John Tilbury's biography — Corneius Cardew a life unfinished, Copula, 2006 (ISBN 0 9525492 3 9) it provides essential material for the study of Cardew's life and ideas; it also makes a significant contribution to discussion of the wider issues involved in the relationship between music, ideology and political commitment.…

The AMM percussionist and founder spills the beans. . Meta Music is a viewpoint "mediated through the developing critical discourse of adaptionism; a perspective grounded in Darwinian conceptions of human nature. Music herein is examined for its cognitive and generative qualities to see how our evolved biological and emergent cultural legacy reflects our needs and dreams. This survey visits ethnomusicology, folk music, jazz, contemporary music and "world music" as well as focusing upon various forms of improvisation observing their effect upon human relations and aspirations. However, there are also analytical and ultimately positive suggestions towards future metamusical practices. These mirror and potentially meet the aspirations of a growing community who wish to engage with the world with all its history and chance conditionals by applying a free-will in making music that is creative and collegiate." So there you go. A beautifully designed and produced paperback and a Fine Copy of the First and so far only edition.…

Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A scarce work on the military conflicts affecting Hungary in the 1680s. At that time, the historic Kingdom was split between a small independent 'Royal Hungary' to the north-west with the rest occupied by the Ottoman Empire. The author, Francisco Antonio de Montalvo, was a 17th-century Spanish historian and priest belonging to the Order of Saint Jerome, and dedicated this volume to Don Ivan Francisco Pacheco Tellez Giron, Duke of Uceda, Viceroy and Captain General of the Kingdom of Sicily. This folio volume is in Very Good minus to Good plus condition. The vellum binding is attractive and firm albeit a little limp, perhaps affected by water in the distant past, as is evidenced by the careful historic repairs to the index (see pictures) and the warping of the pastedowns. One full-page engraved coat of arms. Page block very clean apart from some limited browning to the front endpapers and the aforementioned water damage to the back. Ownership signature on the half-title. Provenance: Armorial bookplate of the first Duke of Sussex (1773-1843), ninth son of King George III and reportedly the favourite uncle to Queen Victoria.…

Folio. 1 escudo grabado a toda página, 9 hh, 454 pp, 9 hh. Encuadernación en pergamino de época. Limpio y en excelente estado. La Hungría otomana (en húngaro: Török hódoltság) corresponde al gobierno por el Imperio otomano, desde 1541 hasta 1699, de la parte sur y central de lo que había sido el reino de Hungría a finales del período medieval, después de haber sido conquistada tras el sitio de Buda. El dominio otomano comprendía casi toda la región de la Gran Llanura Húngara (excepto las partes noreste) y el Transdanubio meridional.El territorio había sido invadido y anexionado al Imperio otomano por el sultán Solimán el Magnífico entre 1521 y 1541. La parte noroeste del reino húngaro resistió la conquista y reconoció a los miembros de la Casa de Habsburgo como reyes de Hungría, pasando a ser conocida como «Hungría Real». El límite entre esa Hungría real y la Hungría otomana se convirtió entonces en la línea del frente en las guerras habsburgo-otomanas durante los siguientes 150 años. Tras la derrota de los otomanos en la Gran Guerra Turca, la mayor parte de la Hungría otomana fue cedida a los Habsburgo por el Tratado de Karlowitz de 1699. Palau 177329.…
