The Mahler symphonies: an owner's manual By Hurwitz, David; Mahler, Gustav
2005 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1574670999 | PDF | 7 MB
Since Gustav Mahler was rediscovered in the early 1960s, his symphonies have become arguably the most popular works in the modern orchestral repertoire. Mahler's Symphonies: An Owner's Manual is the first discussion of the ten completed symphonies (No. 1-9 plus "The Song of the Earth") to offer music lovers and record collectors a comprehensive overview of the music itself, what it sounds like, how it is organized, its form, content, and meaning, as it strikes today's listeners. The book caters to the novice as David Hurwitz describes what the listener will hear, section by section, using simple cues such as important instrumental solos, recognizable tunes, climaxes, and other easily audible musical facts. He explains how each work is arranged, how the various parts relate to each other, and how one work leads to the next. It describes the emotional extravagance that lies at the root of Mahler's popularity, the consistency of his symphonic thinking, the relationship of each work to its companions, and his dazzling and revolutionary use of orchestral instruments to create an expressive musical language that is varied in content and immediate in impact. The accompanying CD contains recordings from Symphony No. 1, Third Movement; Symphony No. 2, First Movement; Symphony No. 5, Third Movement; and Symphony No. 7, Second Movement: "Nachtmusik I."

The Hazaras of Afghanistan: An Historical, Cultural, Economic and Political Study By Sayed Askar Mousavi
1998 | 265 Pages | ISBN: 0700706305 | PDF | 9 MB
This is a study of the second largest but least well-known ethnic group in Afghanistan. Largely Shi'ia by religion and Farsi-speaking, the Hazaras traditionally inhabited Central Afghanistan. Because of the war they are now scattered across the country and in neighboring countries in large numbers as well. The Hazaras have recently come into a more influential position within the country's social fabric because its tribally based pyramidal structure has been disrupted. This book, therefore, makes a unique contribution in Afghanistan studies. It also directly confronts the taboo subject of an Afghan sense of national identity, a concept crucial to the resolution of Afghanistan's current crisis.
