  • Instrumental Teaching in Nineteenth-Century Britainby David J. Golby

    Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2007; US$ 130.00

    Drawing together information from a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, in particular treatises and tutors, David Golby demonstrates that while Britain produced many fewer instrumental virtuosi than its foreign neighbours, there developed a more serious and widespread interest in the cultivation of music throughout the nineteenth century.

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2008; US$ 130.00

In ihrer beeindruckenden Autobiografie schildert sie, wie sie es mit ihrem starken Willen, großer Disziplin und schier unerschöpflicher Energie schafft, am Leben der Hörenden teilzuhaben. Früh erlernt Sarah das Lippenlesen und übt das Sprechen, meistert die Schulzeit unter Hörenden mit Bestnoten und entdeckt schon als Kind die Liebe zum Tanz und zur Musik. Sie nimmt die Töne als Vibrationen wahr und fühlt sie mit ihrem Körper. Sarah Neef lässt uns an ihrem Leben teilnehmen und möchte auch andere ermutigen, sich wegen ihrer vermeintlichen... more...
