Augusten Burroughs : 1/1/2003
You may not know it, but you've met Augusten Burroughs. You've seen him on the street, in bars, on the subway, at restaurants: a twenty-something guy, nice suit, works in advertising. Regular. Ordinary. But when the ordinary person had two drinks, Augusten was circling the drain by having twelve; when the ordinary person went home at midnight, Augesten never went home at all. Loud distracting ties, automated wake-up calls, and cologne on the tongue could only hide so much for so long. At the request (well, it wasn't really a request) of his employers, Augusten lands in rehab, where his dreams of group therapy with Robert Downey, Jr., are immediately dashed by the grim reality of fluorescent lighting and paper hospital slippers. But when Augesten is forced to examine himself, something actually starts to click, and that's when he finds himself in the worst trouble of all. Because when his thirty days are up, he has to return to his same drunken Manhattan life-- and live it sober. What follows is a memoir that's as moving as it is funny, as heartbreaking as it is real. Dry is the story of love, loss, and Starbucks as a higher power.

Dvorak in America
Joseph Horowitz : 1/1/2003
From soulful slave spirituals to the Indian drums of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak took what he saw as the essence of America and used it to create a distinct New World music with folks roots, much as he had for his own country. Listening to his assistant Harry Burleigh sing spirituals, Dvorak realized that an American classical music could draw on the melodies and rhythms of all of its people. Dvorak searched for those sounds, brought them together in his great symphony, From the New World, and challenged critics who did not think the music of nonwhite peoples deserved much prominence. In this spirited account of Dvorak's 1890's stay in America, Joseph Horowitz brings to life the diverse musical and cultural influences that inspired the New World Symphony, one of the most popular orchestral works of our time.

Jazz Studies for Piano This Item is currently checked until Tuesday, September 27, 2005.
Paul T. Smith : 1/1/2001
These exercises for the contemporary pianist are musically enjoyable as well as technically demanding, and are written in all keys, rather than just in C. Most of them are figures which may be incorporated into solos that jazz players can play while improvising. These exercises supplement the traditional Hanon and Czerny exercises by moving into a more modern and progressive group of studies which are not found in the older exercises, and focusing less on scale patterns. They are meant to be more fun to play and to give the student a chance to invent his or her own fingerings for the exercises. Two-handed exercises allow the student to work on strengthening the left hand as well as the right hand. The companion CD presents all of the exercises in the book as a guide to proper execution.
