Horn Solos Book 1 includes 19 pieces of music, with solos graded from the very beginnings up to intermediate level. The early pieces are written or arranged so that beginners can play along with the piano from the first weeks, allowing a good sense of rhythm and intonation to develop. Most of the later pieces have been extracted from the established horn repertoire, giving keen students the chance to try them in arrangements friendly to a developing technique. Brief notes have been included at the back of the book to give a little background to each piece and some ideas for interpretation.

Igor Stravinsky''s Sonata in F# minor for piano is one of his early works, written in 1903-04 and dedicated to Nicolas Richter.

Sound, throb, and a long low wail of pure, hard pain...Nine Inch Nails. The world's most disturbing rock band is in effect one man singer and songwriter Trent Reznor. Since stealing the show during the original Lollapalooza tour in 1991, NIN has limned the hard edge of the techno revolution. In Reznor's desperate, combative persona and disarrayed melodies the musical community has finally found a band that appalls, confounds, and undeniably attracts. Horrified yet entranced, NIN's fans are like moths drawn toward the disfiguring flame of their music. From a well of previously unpublished research, Huxley has carved out the history of this improbable hero: Reznor's rise as an Appalachian outcast to dyspeptic sex symbol; his connections to Courtney Love; and his relationship with his spasmodically fixated fans. Ricocheting wildly between goth rock and industrial grunge, Nine Inch Nails has achieved a legendary sound. Here, Martin Huxley digs hard and deep to unearth the truth beneath the ultimate noise.

Featuring the words of Rev. Keith A. Gordon and designed by noted graphic artist Paul Needham, Scorched Earth: A Jason & The Scorchers Scrapbook documents the electrifying band's long journey from hard-rocking cowpunk upstarts to Americana music legends with interviews and album reviews from across the Scorchers' 30+ year history, as well as a complete Scorchers album discography, including solo works (Jason Ringenberg, Farmer Jason) and side projects (The Bluefields). Scorched Earth is profusely illustrated with dozens of B&W photos, including many rare "action shots" from Needham's stash of Scorchers' memorabilia.

Transformer, Lou Reed's most enduringly popular album, is described with varying labels: it's often called a glam rock album, a proto-punk album, a commercial breakthrough for Lou Reed, and an album about being gay. And yet, it doesn't neatly fit into any of these descriptors. Buried underneath the radio-friendly exterior lie coded confessions of the subversive, wounded intelligence that gives this album its staying power as a work of art. Here Lou Reed managed to make a fun, accessible rock'n'roll record that is also a troubled meditation on the ambiguities-sexual, musical and otherwise-that defined his public persona and helped make him one of the most fascinating and influential figures in rock history. Through close listening and personal reflections, songwriter Ezra Furman explores Reed's and Transformer's unstable identities, and the secrets the songs challenge us to uncover.

NOISE MUSIC und die Tradition künstlerischer Avantgarden des 20. Jhdts: Das einleitende Kapitel beginnt mit einem kulturhistorischen Überblick über die Herausbildung geräuschhafter Musik im 20. Jahrhundert. Das nächste Kapitel befasst sich mit dem primären Ort moderner Musikproduktion- der Stadt. Der urbane Raum wird dabei sowohl als reicher Pool außermusikalischer Klänge diskutiert, als auch als Produktions- und Konsumstätte von Musik verstanden. Im Kontext der Club Culture wird besonders auf die Etablierung des turntablism und der DJ culture eingegangen. Anhand dieser Subkultur wird ein neuer, postmoderner Zugang zu hochkulturellen Technologien beschrieben, der auch in der glitch und noise music aufgenommen werden wird. Im vierten Kapitel wird die technische Entwicklung, vom frühen 20. Jahrhundert bis zur Einführung digitaler Medien, und deren Auswirkungen auf den kreativen Schaffensprozess von Musik nachgezeichnet. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung ökonomischer Verfügbarkeit hochkultureller Technologien und dem Entstehen neuer Distributionswege, wird die gegenwärtige Musikproduktion beleuchtet. Das fünfte Kapitel ist medientheoretischen Überlegungen und den Auswirkungen des mediatisierten Alltags auf den Produktions- und Rezeptionsprozess von Musik gewidmet. Im sechsten Kapitel werden die unterschiedlichen Stile einer post- digital music erläutert (cracked media).
