Kundenmeinungen:
+++++ (ein Amazon Kunde): Chopin's Ballads, Impromptus, and Sonatas
This is a great book. I have used it on numerous occasions and can give no more than an absolute satisfactory report. Often, publishers write incorrect fingering and/or dynamics, and this book appears to have not subdued to that level. The publishers obviously knew what Chopin wanted and delivered just that instead of placing marks they thought were appropriate.

Kundenmeinungen:
+++++ (ein Amazon Kunde): A remarkable investigation on an original topic.
"Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" constitutes a very serious study on a topic often covered just superficially by historians: the life, ways , customs and culture at sea in the Anglo - American Maritime World in the Eighteenth Century. The title itself suggests the wooden world of the ship, sailing through the ocean with its sailors trapped in the middle of the Devil, or the harsh conditions on board, and the Deep Blue Sea. The first part of the book provides the reader with a wide view of the port cities and trade routes where this maritime culture evolved. And starting from this geographical tour, the topic is narrowed down to the specific aspects and details regarding "Jack Tar", or the personification of an average sailor of those times. It is amazing to think of such a harsh world, very well portrayed by the autor, that was the heart of the English Commerce, and the cornerstone of the future British Empire. The conditions on board were so insane that only the stongest could survive. This reality, very accurately described by the autor, led to multiple mutinies that often ended up in piracy. The fact that English sailors died in similar proportion as slaves in the African Coast, is a true revelation for the reader. A remarkable fact dealing with piracy, that makes this book different from others, is that this investigation prooves that the pirates are the good guys of the story. These men of free spirit that broke away from the strict discipline on board, constituted a democratic but ruthless society, aside of the law, in their pirate ships and communities. Such form of democracy, based on principles of solidarity between the English poor, was one of the first examples of the fight for equality among men, before the French and American Revolutions.
++++ (ein Amazon Kunde): Very good, if a little bit "dry"
I fully agree with the statement of 10. March, but I must add that I found the book a little bit dry. Maybe I expected the wrong thing from the title, but to find this book *really* interesting (which I did) you absolutly have to be at least a hobby-historian (which I am).
+++++ (ein Amazon Kunde): Brilliant and Surprising
Rediker is, first of all, a wonderful writer - even if you\'ve never read a about the early 1700s before, you\'ll be engrossed in what he has to say about the world of "Jack Tar". People who enjoy sea-faring fiction will also get a kick out of it; Rediker reveals a world of constant backbreaking work in a very dangerous environment, brutal punishments for the tiniest infraction, and of the strange brotherhood that forms among sailors. For me the biggest surprise was that the pirates are the good guys in the story - men who broke away from the tyrannical hierachy of ships, who formed a very specific set of moral rules based upon the traditions of the English poor, who shared the booty, who championed the weak and punished the strong. Kind of a Robin Hood thing, very interesting. Entertaining, compelling, informative.

Kundenmeinungen:
+++++ (ein Amazon Kunde): Essential for any serious pianist
Busoni was famous for his transcriptions of Bach\'s organ music. The true genius of his work becomes evident when one can see the adjustments Busoni made to the originals. These works are a very rewarding challenge for any serious pianist. I personally am quite fond of the Tocatta in C Major.
