Strongly influencing European musical life from the 1880s through the First World War and remaining highly productive into the 1940s, Richard Strauss enjoyed a remarkable career in a constantly changing artistic and political climate. This volume presents six original essays on Strauss's musical works--including tone poems, lieder, and operas--and brings together letters, memoirs, and criticism from various periods of the composer's life. Many of these materials appear in English for the first time. In the essays Leon Botstein contradicts the notion of the composer's stylistic "about face" after Elektra; Derrick Puffett reinforces the argument for Strauss's artistic consistency by tracing in the tone poems and operas the phenomenon of pitch specificity; James Hepokoski establishes Strauss as an early modernist in an examination of Macbeth; Michael Steinberg probes the composer's political sensibility as expressed in the 1930s through his music and use ...

This revised text considers the relation of biochemistry to other disciplines such as anatomy, physiology and pharmacology in the medical course. It furthers the application of biochemical concepts to the microcellular and subcellular structures of the cell and, more importantly, to the functioning of the body as a whole and disease processes. The chapter on the functions of the nucleus, mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum have been reorganized to account for the increased understanding of the roles of these organelles. There is also new emphasis given to the biochemistry of environmental hazards which includes a treatment of viral carcinogenesis. There is also a discussion of the results of recombinant DNA technology in the diagnosis of genetic disorders. In addition to providing guidance for students, the approach taken in this book will also be useful for teachers seeking an understanding of the role of biochemical principles which are valuable in medicine. ...

Richard Strauss ist einer der meistgespielten Opernkomponisten weltweit. Auf unverwechselbare Weise verband er das Erhabene mit dem Trivialen, das Außerordentliche mit dem Gewöhnlichen. Doch auch sein Leben war voller schwer aufzulösender Widersprüche. In seiner souveränen, ausgezeichnet geschriebenen Biographie schildert der Strauss-Experte Bryan Gilliam das Leben und Werk des Komponisten am Beginn der Moderne. Richard Strauss verkörperte eine ganz andere Moderne als der etwas jüngere Arnold Schönberg mit seiner Zwölf-Ton-Musik. Bryan Gilliam zeigt, wie Strauss in seinen Opern und symphonischen Werken, seiner Kammermusik und seinen Liedern eine völlig neue musikalische Sprache entwickelte. Er lässt das Umfeld von Freunden, Familie und Mentoren lebendig werden, beschreibt das komplexe Verhältnis zu Richard Wagner und die Zusammenarbeit mit Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Strauss wichtigstem Opernlibrettisten. Ebenso tritt Strauss als einflussreicher Dirigent, Theaterleiter und Vorkämpfer für d...
