Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Die Wand war seine Leidenschaft. Betrachtet man urbane Wände mit den Augen von Burhan Dogançay so öffnet sich eine ganz andere Welt: halb abgerissene Plakate auf rauem Ziegelmauerwerk, darüber Graffiti, Kritzeleien, Botschaften, Schilder, Aufkleber. Aus diesem Fundus von Strukturen, Zeichen und Symbolen kreierte der Künstler seine Wandfragmente, seine »urban walls«.Der aus Istanbul stammende Dogançay (1929-2013) lässt sich 1964 in New York nieder und bewegt sich in der Kunstszene um Robert Rauschenberg und Jasper Johns. Sein Thema ist die visuelle Wahrnehmung von Textur, Ort und Erinnerung, das er in seriellen Arbeiten erforscht. Für seine »urban walls« hält er weltweit Hauswände und Fassaden in verschiedensten Medien fest, er verwendet hierfür eine Fülle von Materialien und Techniken, etwa Fotografie, Collage, Malerei. Seine Werke sind Archive vergangener Jahrzehnte, die den Zeitgeist einfangen. Ab den 1970er- und 1980er-Jahren entwickelt er aus diesen Arbeiten seine »Ribbons« - kalligraphische Gemälde von poetischem Zauber. 132 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Die 1915 entstandenen Rumänischen Volkstänze gehören zu Bartóks bekanntesten Werken - und dies in vielfältiger Gestalt, denn neben verschiedenen Ausgaben der Klavierfassung und einer späteren Orchestrierung von Bartók selbst gibt es auch Arrangements von Zeitgenossen, die mit Einverständnis des Komponisten entstanden. Man kann heute sogar auf Einspielungen der Tänze durch Bartók selbst zurückgreifen; diese dokumentieren mit variierenden, durch Oktavverdopplungen angereicherten Wiederholungen quasi die 'Konzertfassung' der Tänze. Bartók-Forscher László Somfai bringt Ordnung in diese reiche Überlieferung und präsentiert in der Henle-Urtextausgabe die für den Musiker wesentlichen Varianten direkt im Notentext. 17 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch.
