Details

A near contemporary and rival of Haydn, Leopold Hofmann was held in the highest regard in his native Vienna where he served as Kapellmeister at St Stephen's Cathedral, a position to which Mozart might have succeeded had he lived. Hofmann was a prolific composer of instrumental music and he wrote a good deal of chamber music although much of it has been lost. Hofmann also composed a substantial body of chamber music for strings and among the most interesting of these works are the Six Sonatas for Violin & Basso. The sonatas are as a whole more technically difficult than any of the composer's other chamber works with violin. In some respects, particularly in their extensive use of double-stopping and two-part textures in the violin part, they are more technically demanding than his violin concertos. There is no attempt, however, to involve the basso in the presentation of thematic material and in this respect the sonatas are quite unlike Hofmann's one extant Duo for Violin and Violoncello (Badley II.D2) in which the two parts are treated equally. In view of their technical difficulty and limited dissemination it is difficult to understand Hofmann's motivation for composing the sonatas. Their exploration of multiple-voicing, particularly in first and second movements, and the use of a Minuet with variations for five of the finales – all of which follow a similar pattern of technical exploitation – suggests that the sonatas may have been composed by Hofmann in the first instance as teaching pieces.

A must read book for EVERY couple
Format: Paperback
Life’s hard these days, and it takes a toll both individually and especially on relationships. Throw kids into the mix and it gets even harder on steroids. My wife and I are pretty empathetic and forgiving people, but even we found ourselves struggling with the demands of everyday life. We finally decided to try couples therapy, and our therapist recommended this book. I’m not a huge fan of books like this because I usually find them to be high minded, overly theoretical, and lacking in effective tools and practical solutions. This book is none of these. It is very approachable and written in an easily-digestible and conversational style, but most importantly the information is extremely insightful and helpful in understanding ourselves and how this affects and plays out in our relationships. And it provides very doable and effective tools and techniques that can be enacted easily and that yield fast and significant results. The first few chapters alone have improved our relationship 10 fold as we now better understand where each other is coming from AND WHY, along with how this impacts our communication, behaviors, and feelings. And the tools are there to help us incorporate positive strategies into our daily lives to help keep us on course going forward instead of just lapsing back into our old ways over time, which is the downfall of many other books like this. I wish we had read this book before we got married as it would’ve helped to avoid lots of needless and hurtful arguments and bad feelings that lead to unproductive and harmful walls that just get harder and harder to break down over time. Frankly, I think this book should be required reading for every couple as it would help prevent so much unnecessary pain and suffering, and probably divorce as well. I’m a guy and hate talking about feelings, emotions, etc., but even I have enjoyed reading this book and certainly the happiness and joy that has returned to our lives. Life’s too short to deal with the stress and negativity of a struggling and strained relationship, so get this book and put your relationship on a happy, healthy course. It’s really life changing with relatively little effort.
