Bach to one of his students at the Leipzig Thomas-Schule, the Precepts and Principles for Playing the Thorough Bass or Accompanying in Four Parts is the most important teaching document of Bach's to have survived, providing insights into his teaching of harmony and fugue, and perhaps on his compositional process as well. Heinrich Schenker made use of Precepts (which he called Bach's Generalbassibuchlein ) in the formulation of his analytical system. Here is a translation, commentary, transcription of the music examples into modern notation, and complete facsimile of this treatise. The 48-leaved manuscript, in which the hand of Bach's pupil Carl August Thieme (1721-95) has been identified, consists of thorough basses, studies in fugue writing, as well as figured basses and cadence patterns suitable for keyboard practice. This book is intended for scholars and students of baroque music theory and keyboard performance practice.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MFR Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37787748499627,"sku":"BACH1994","price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0456\/6872\/8995\/products\/zs_2.jpg?v=1608137438"},{"product_id":"a-collection-of-wang-yitings-calligraphy-and-paintings-1988-hardback","title":"A COLLECTION OF WANG YITING'S CALLIGRAPHY AND PAINTINGS 1988 HARDBACK","description":"\u003cp\u003e[Yiting, Wang (1867-1938); Chengwei, Xu (ed.); Zhongde, Wang (ed.)]. \u003cstrong\u003eA Collection of Wang Yiting's Calligraphy and Painting. \u003c\/strong\u003ePublished by Zhongguo Shanghai : Shanghai shu hua chu ban she, [1988].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHardcover.

Tolkien's A Middle English Vocabulary was written to accompany a popular 1921 anthology of 14th-century poetry and prose by Kenneth Sisam. Tolkien had studied under Sisam at Oxford, though he held a position as Reader in English at the University of Leeds at the time this was published. Interestingly, in 1925 Tolkien was chosen over Sisan to hold the Rawlinson and Bosworth chair of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford. \"Tolkien the language teacher was at the forefront in his work for A Middle English Vocabulary. As he put it in his prefatory note, his pedagogical purpose is to give a 'full treatment to what may rightly be called the back-bone of the language,' his first point being that although Middle English resembled the modern language, and often the learned 'half-recognizes' many of the words, all this can be misleading, as the words were frequently used in different ways. The needs for the learned therefore are not primarily for a list of the difficult or abstruse words. Instead the student requires a good working knowledge, which depends on 'familiarity with the ordinary machinery of expression—with the precise forms and meanings that common words may assume\" (Atherton, There and Back Again: J.R.R. Tolkien and the Origins of the Hobbit, 207). First issue, with advertisements dated October 1921 and without the \"Printed in England\" stamp on the title page. The first issue is exceptionally rare and has only appeared at auction a couple of times. The book was published in an edition of 2000 copies in May 1922; the advertisements subsequently altered with later dates. In 1923, the unsold copies of this work were bound into a new edition of Sisam's Fourteenth Century Verse and Prose, further decreasing the number of copies on the market.

Synopsis: \"The Routledge Companion to Directors' Shakespeare\" is a major collaborative book about plays in performance. Thirty authoritative accounts describe in illuminating detail how some of theatre's most talented directors have brought Shakespeare's texts to the stage. Each chapter has a revealing story to tell as it explores a new and revitalising approach to the most familiar works in the English language. A must-have work of reference for students of both Shakespeare and theatre, this book presents some of the most acclaimed productions of the last hundred years in a variety of cultural and political contexts. Each entry describes a director's own theatrical vision, and methods of rehearsal and production. These studies chart the extraordinary feats of interpretation and innovation that have given Shakespeare's plays enduring life in the theatre. Notable entries include: Ingmar Bergman; Peter Brook; Declan Donnelan; Tyrone Guthrie; Peter Hall; Fritz Kortner; Robert Lepage; Joan Littlewood; Yukio Ninagawa; Joseph Papp; Roger Planchon; Max Reinhardt; Giorgio Strehler; Deborah Warner; Orson Welles; and, Franco Zeffirelli.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Russell Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39649009664171,"sku":"BROWN2008","price":350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0456\/6872\/8995\/products\/qw1_4f86adcc-ea6d-42c5-a8f2-f074277d93f5.jpg?v=1618797475"},{"product_id":"soviet-tactical-aviation-by-yefim-gordon-dmitriy-komissarov-2011-first-edition","title":"SOVIET TACTICAL AVIATION BY YEFIM GORDON \u0026 DMITRIY KOMISSAROV 2011 FIRST EDITION","description":"\u003cp\u003e[GORDON, YEFIM; KOMISSAROV, DMITRIY]. \u003cstrong\u003eSoviet Tactical Aviation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Manchester: Hikoki Publications, 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFirst edition.

While this edition is commonly referred to as Urry's, he died before he could complete the work. His successor Thomas Ainsworth also died before the work was ready for the press, and it was revised by Timothy and William Thomas. \"This was the first collected edition of Chaucer to be printed in roman type. The life of Chaucer prefixed to the volume was the work of the Reverend John Dart, corrected and revised by Timothy Thomas. The glossary appended was also mainly compiled by Thomas. The text of Urry's edition has often been criticized by subsequent editors for its frequent conjectural emendations, mainly to make it conform to his sense of Chaucer's meter. The justice of such criticisms should not obscure his achievement. His is the first edition of Chaucer for nearly 150 years to consult any manuscripts and is the first since that of William Thynne in 1534 to seek systematically to assemble a substantial number of manuscripts to establish his text… Urry was a friend of Thomas Hearne, who styles him a 'thorough pac'd scholar' and a 'truly worthy and virtuous, as well as ingenious, gentleman.' A portrait of Urry, engraved by N. Pigné, is prefixed to the work\" (ODNB). This edition contains three previously unpublished tales: \"The Coke's Tale of Gamelyn,\" \"The Merchant's Second Tale\" and \"The Adventure of the Pardoner and Tapster at the Inn at Canterbury.\" This edition also includes a glossary of Middle English terms.
