This biography of Ludwig van Beethoven is the first scholarly biography of Ludwig van Beethoven, covering Beethovens life to 1816. Thayer became aware of many discrepancies in the already existing biographies of Beethoven, so in 1849 he sailed for Europe to undertake his own researches, learning German and collecting information. Still after many updates Thayers biography of Beethoven is regarded as a standard work of reference on the composer.

A AGUARDADA AUTOBIOGRAFIA DO BAIXISTA DO RUSH.Geddy Lee é um dos músicos mais respeitados do rock. Por quase cinco décadas, sua habilidade como baixista, vocalista e tecladista foi parte essencial do sucesso do Rush. Aqui, pela primeira vez, esta o relato de sua vida dentro e fora da banda. Muito antes de o Rush acumular mais discos de ouro e platina consecutivos do que qualquer outra banda de rock, ficando atras somente dos Beatles e dos Rolling Stones, de ser sete vezes indicado ao Grammy ou das inumeras apresentaçes eletrizantes ao redor do mundo, Geddy Lee era Gershon Eliezer Weinrib, batizado em homenagem ao avo, morto no Holocausto. Conforme narra essa transformaço, Lee relembra sua familia, especialmente seus amorosos pais e suas experiencias horriveis como adolescentes durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial; fala abertamente sobre sua infancia e a busca pela musica que o levou a abandonar os estudos; e traça a historia do Rush, que, apos um começo dificil, aconteceu e se tornou uma das bandas mais amadas e influentes de todos os tempos.Tambem compartilha historias de sua amizade de longa data com os companheiros Alex Lifeson e Neil Peart - lamentando profundamente a recente perda do baterista - e revela suas obsesses na musica e alem. Essa mistura rica de honestidade, humor e perda resulta em uma autobiografia como nenhuma outra.

I am a composer. A composer of classical music. Quite honestly I am not quite sure how that happened to a girl born in Belize and brought up in Tottenham. .It is clear that composing found me. It crept up on me and wouldnt let me out of its grasp. Now a leading international composer and a singer-songwriter, Errollyn Warren is as much at home in jazz and pop as in the classical world. Part memoir, How to be a composer: A Life in Music offers an intriguing glimpse into the mind and motivation of a composer and covers aspects of Wallens sometimes troubled childhood, and her experiences of growing up as a black composer in the UK.

Aimed at a wide audience the book seeks to shed light on the way a composer sees and hears the world.

A Sunday Times, Times, Irish Times and Mojo Book of the YearRough Trade #1 Book of the YearResident Music #1 Book of the YearWere you there? Well this is as close as it gets! Thurston Moores compelling and spirited account of the streets, the songs, the clothes, the clubs and the contenders! A sensitive and authentic testimony to Moores life lived through art and music. Beats with the heart of a true artist and mutineer.Viv AlbertineDowntown scientists rejoice! For Thurston Moore has unearthed the missing links, the sacred texts, the forgotten stories, and the secret maps of the lost golden age. This is history-scuffed, slightly bent, plenty noisy, and indispensable.Colson WhiteheadA music-obsessed retrospective, beginning with his childhood epiphany of rock n roll in the early 1960s into an infatuation with the subversive world of 1970s punk and no wave blasting forth from New York City - where he eventually runs off to join a band in 1978. By 1981 Moore would form the legendary and notorious experimental rock group Sonic Youth, who proceeded to record and tour relentlessly for almost 30 years, always progressing, always exploring.Along the way we meet a constellation of artists and musicians who colluded and collided with Sonic Youth including Velvet Underground, Stooges, Patti Smith, Television, Sex Pistols, Clash, Nirvana, Hole, Beastie Boys, Neil Young and a cavalcade of other musical visionaries, as well as figures from the art world - Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Gerhard Richter.Simply put, Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth changed the sound of modern alternative rock music and opened the minds of a generation of artists to new possibilities within the form. This is essential reading.I thoroughly enjoyed Thurston Moores trip down the gauntlet of memory lane, dodging beer bottles and pools of blood as he balances the demands of art and survival. Plus Im a sucker for anyone who name-checks Saccharine Trust. A raw, rollicking document.Nell Zink

Terri Thal was very much a part of the folk music world in 1960s Greenwich Village, New York. Few people know that she was 21-year-old Bob Dylans first manager prior to his contract with Albert Grossman and Columbia Records. She also managed musician Dave Van Ronk (who was her husband), and others to include the Roche sisters, Paul Geremia and The Holy Modal Rounders. She booked performances at coffee houses, clubs and basket houses. On 6 September 1961, she recorded a set from a young Bob at The Gaslight Cafe it is the first known live recording of his original songs - known to Dylan fans as the First Gaslight Tape! Terri took this audition tape to clubs to try to get him gigs and she still owns the original reel-to-reel tape! She had many friends in Greenwich Village including Suze Rotolo and a number of seminal 1960s folk musicians.When Dave Van Ronk first saw young Bob performing in a club in Greenwich Village he said I just heard this kid whos a fucking genius. Youve got to hear him. Within a few days I heard him play and agreed with Dave. Bob Dylan asked me, Would you get me gigs?Terri Thal has two passions: folk music and social justice. This is a personal story of the world of folk music in 1960s New York written by a Jewish woman from Brooklyn who, although not a musician, was an intrinsic part of this scene. Terri describes Greenwich Village as a community that was supportive, musically exciting and one in which people had fun.Terri tells us what it was like to hang out in the Village coffee houses, to host folk singers like Tom Paxton and Phil Ochs who hung out at her apartment, and to be a manager. We hear her view and involvement of the 1960s socialist organizations, and how she later merged her professional work in not- for-profit agencies.
