Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This beautifully written history of the piano is at once remarkably informative and uniquely engaging. Performer and historian Richard Burnett traces the development of the piano from its origins to the present day, drawing on keyboard instruments from his internationally known collection, at the Finchcocks Museum in Kent, England. Sixty-one of these instruments, including organs, harpsichords, clavichords, and a wide range of pianos, feature in what amounts to a ground-breaking social history of the piano. Richard Burnett is an international concert pianist who acquired Finchcocks, the beautiful Georgian mansion in 1971 as a home for his collection. His fascinating book ingeniously interweaves the biographies of the pianos with the history of the various manufacturing firms and the remarkable lives of some of the builders and the musicians associated with them, all set against the vividly depicted social backdrop of the periods under review. In the second part of his book, the author looks particularly at how the development of the instruments has influenced the output of the classical composers - Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Weber, Schubert and others. The fast-flowing anecdotal style of the writing means that this will be of interest and entertainment to the general reader, as well as those who already have some knowledge of the subject. The book also includes a comlimentary CD, in which the music of 33 of the Finchcocks period instruments can be heard being played by Richard Burnett and Steven Devine. "This is a handsome book and it makes a fine coffee-table present for any music and piano lover." John Amis - broadcaster, music presenter, performer and the 'symphony man' in the long-running radio show, 'My Music'. "This book is a landmark in music."Alan Hacker, OBE - one of the world's top clarinettist's. "This is the best book I have read (or heard) on the subject and recommend it highly." Rick Ohlendorf, Piano Tuners Association News "After reading Company of Pianos, I found myself playing Beethoven with a heightened awareness .and for that alone I am grateful." Angela Hewitt, Times Literary Supplement "Anecdotal, wryly humorous and authoritative .the text of the Company of Pianos by itself would be an essential purchase for pianophiles. But the standard to which the book has been produced is something else." Jeremy Nicholas, Piano International "Company of Pianos might have been entitled 'In the Company of Richard Burnett'.For those who do not know him and for us all, this is a work that reveals the delightful and impassioned character of one who has done so much for the historical piano, not only as a player and a collector but also as its advocate and true restorer". Early Music Magazine "The author takes us on a social and historical journey that is entertaining, witty, lucid and informed, but never dull or pedantic. A delight to the mind, the ears and the eyes. The Company of Pianos is good company indeed." Southern California Early Music Society "Every music school, serious pianist, library and early-music enthusiast should have this wonderful volume." Paul James Dwyer, Opus Magazine ".No music lovers, be they pianists, listeners or historians can afford to be without this fascinating and enlightening book."

In 1921, Duncan Phillips opened his home to the public, creating the first museum of modern art in the U.S. in Washington, D.C.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 'The College is like its Old Court: discreet, unobtrusive, yet at the very pinnacle of excellence', writes a former member of the College. Another member remarked: 'My two years are still a vivid splash of sunlight in my memory, after the darkness of school, before the drab routines of my nomadic existence in the army'. This would seem to be a true description of the experience of many at Corpus Christi, one of Cambridge's smallest, yet most distinctive colleges. Other former members however had slightly different memories. One remarked: 'I was a reluctant undergraduate. Coming to Cambridge seemed like returning to school and I resented the rules and the quiet complacency of the place. As I sought my rooms, a well-meaning don remarked, Oh! You will be in Marlowe's room, to which I replied that I was expecting a room to myself. How was I to know he was referring to Christopher Marlowe, the poet who died in 1953? This highly illustrated book, which is published to coincide with the College's 650th anniversary, includes memories, images and reminiscences of everyday life in Corpus Christi from the 1920s to the 1950s and also from more recent times.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This book celebrates two anniversaries in the long history of this College. It is 660 years since its College's first foundation by Edmund Gonville in 1348 and 450 years since the second foundation by Dr John Caius in 1558. Buildings alone do not make a College, no matter how beautiful they may be; and yet they provide a vital support for this powerful intellectual community that renews itself year after year. Caius is a living continuum of study, contemplation, enquiry and expression stretching in an unbroken line all the way back to the Middle Ages. The book opens with a brilliant encapsulation of the story of the College's growth and development from 1348 to 2008, written by the master historian of Caius, Professor Christopher Brooke. This is followed by a breathtaking panorama of images of Caius in the twenty-first century. Dan White shows us the College through fresh eyes. He delights in contrasting ancient traditions with irrepressible youth. He portrays a vibrant community of students, fellows, staff and benefactors, all contributing in their own way to the multi-faceted life of the College. Dan's unforgettable images are also perfectly complemented by the photographs of College President, Professor Wei-Yao Liang, who captures the subtle beauty of the College through its many moods and seasons.

"I remember particularly the friendliness of the school and the three years of unbeaten rugby success which our team enjoyed from U16 to 1st XV level. Over these times I made my closest friends, and also ended up in a job that I love: playing professional sport." - Hugo Southwell, Professional rugby union player (Edinburgh & Scotland), Wargrave 1993-98. "My overall memory is of a splendid staff and civilised boys and girls. I consider my time at Eastbourne to be the best part of my life, for which I am extremely grateful." - Michael Birley, Headmaster 1956-70.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The story of Bryanston throws an interesting light on the social history of the last 75 years. Set in the midst of the Dorset countryside, the School was founded in 1928, with the pioneering aim of combining the best of British public school tradition with a more modern approach to education. Bryanston reflections is not only a history based on memories but also a collection of articles about the different aspects of school life, from the classroom to the playing fields, the Greek theatre to the extraordinary Norman Shaw house. There are tales of hidden spaces, secret stairways and night-time escapades. We see through the eyes of schoolboys, a countryside transformed as the nation prepares for the D-day landings and have their perspective on the austere post-war years, the rebellious Sixties and the early days of co-education. Few other schools have produced such interesting and varied alumni-leading artists, film directors, distinguished professors, senior judges, top sportsmen and the only British scientist to have won two Nobel Prizes.

Each year it raises nearly GBP3m to fund over 30,000 music therapy sessions at over 50 nationwide locations, as well as support training programmes and much-needed research.
