        Roman

        by Daria Bignardi

        Mit ihren Erinnerungen an die unbeschwerten Tage der Jugend und ihrer Leidenschaft für klassische Literatur lebt Alma lieber in der Vergangenheit als in der Gegenwart. Als ihre Tochter Antonia schwanger ist, weiht sie sie ein in ein wohl gehütetes Familiengeheimnis: das spurlose Verschwinden ihres Bruders. Antonia beschließt, nach Ferrara zu reisen und sich auf eine Suche zu machen, für die ihre Mutter nie genug Kraft hatte. Doch bei ihren Streifzügen durch die mysteriös anmutende Stadt, die mit ihren mittelalterlichen Gemäuern und den schmalen Gassen die perfekte Kulisse für Heimlichkeiten und Gerüchte bietet, kommt Antonia nicht nur der Geschichte ihrer verschlossenen Mutter und dem Verschwinden ihres Onkels auf die Spur, sondern enthüllt auch eine familiäre Tragödie, die sehr viel weiter reicht, als sie jemals hätte ahnen können. So glücklich wir waren erzählt ebenso fesselnd wie ergreifend von lebenslanger Reue und der fragilen Nähe zwischen Müttern und Töchtern. In ihrem aufwühlenden Roman stellt Daria Bignardi die alles entscheidende Frage, wie genau wir die Menschen kennen, die uns am nächsten stehen.

        The Beethoven song companion

        by Paul Reid

        This is the first full-length, published study of Beethoven's songs. All the composer's songs with piano are included, with full German texts and translations, together with comprehensive notes on the poetry and the music. The inclusion of unfinished songs gives a fascinating insight into Beethoven's compositional methods. An introductory essay considers reasons for the relative neglect of the songs, the significance of Beethoven's choice of texts, his crucial role in the development of German art-song and specific aspects such as choice of key. Throughout the book, poetic and musical texts are discussed in their historical context, and in the overall context of Beethoven's life and music. It is anticipated that this book, like its predecessor The Schubert Song Companion, will encourage the performance and study of an important but comparatively neglected aspect of the work of the world's most celebrated composer.
