The hurdy-gurdy, or vielle, has been part of European musical life since the eleventh century. In eighteenth-century France, improvements in its sound and appearance led to its use in chamber ensembles. This new and expanded edition of The Hurdy-Gurdy in Eighteenth-Century France offers the definitive introduction to the classic stringed instrument. Robert A. Green discusses the techniques of playing the hurdy-gurdy and the interpretation of its music, based on existing methods and on his own experience as a performer. The list of extant music includes new pieces discovered within the last decade and provides new historical context for the instrument and its role in eighteenth-century French culture.
The Fighting Season is military fiction of the first order: as tough as nails and packed with the insider knowledge of someone who has done it for real.' - Matthew Reilly 'Action packed, gritty and authentic to the core.' - Merrick Watts An explosive thriller from the heart of Afghanistan Outside the wire, Uruzghan Province, Afghanistan, 2010...

"A rapturous, witty, and passionate memoir ... Violin Dreams is not only the story of a man becoming an artist, it’s a history of twentieth-century music.” -- John Guare, Tony Award-winning playwright Arnold Steinhardt, for more than forty years an international soloist and the first violinist of the Guarneri String Quartet, brings warmth, wit, and fascinating insider details to the story of his lifelong obsession with the violin, that most seductive and stunningly beautiful instrument. His story is rich with vivid scenes: the terror inflicted by his early violin teachers, the sensual pleasure involved in the pursuit of the perfect violin, the charged atmosphere of high-level competitions. Steinhardt describes Bach’s Chaconne as the holy grail for the solo violin, and he illuminates, from the perspective of an ardent owner of a great Storioni violin, the history and mysteries of the renowned Italian violinmakers. Violin Dreams includes a remarkable CD recording of Steinhardt performing Bach’s Partita in D Minor as a young violinist forty years ago and playing the same piece especially for this book. A conversation between the author and Alan Alda on the differences between the two performances is included in the liner notes.
Half square triangles. There's nothing like them in quilting...or is there? Meet the Accordion Sewn HSTs(tm) method, where you'll learn to sew half square triangles in such a way that each one is a little bit different from the last (ie no one has a twin!) and there is absolutely no waste of fabric! Once you master the technique, and it won't take more than a few minutes on average, use the projects included to see how organizing your accordions creates blocks and designs in no time! It's been called "addictive," "brilliant," and even "witchcraft" and it's the latest fun from the slightly kooky brain of quilt designer Beth Helfter of EvaPaige Quilt Designs.Seven projects complete with alternate projects and colorways and four border ideas, all using the Accordion Sewn HSTs(tm) method. If you haven't yet seen the videos of Beth Helfter sharing the basics of this technique on YouTube, you really should! It might just blow your mind.
