The Recorder
A Choice "Best Academic" book in its first edition, The Recorder remains an essential resource for anyone who wants to know about this instrument. This new edition is thoroughly redone, takes account of the publishing activity of the years since its first publication, and still follows the original organization.
The Recorder
The fascinating story of a hugely popular instrument, detailing its rich and varied history from the Middle Ages to the present The recorder is perhaps best known today for its educational role. Although it is frequently regarded as a stepping-stone on the path toward higher musical pursuits, this role is just one recent facet of the recorder's fascinating history--which spans professional and amateur music-making since the Middle Ages. In this new addition to the Yale Musical Instrument Series, David Lasocki and Robert Ehrlich trace the evolution of the recorder. Emerging from a variety of flutes played by fourteenth-century soldiers, shepherds, and watchmen, the recorder swiftly became an artistic instrument for courtly and city minstrels. Featured in music by the greatest Baroque composers, including Bach and Handel, in the twentieth century it played a vital role in the Early Music Revival and achieved international popularity and notoriety in mass education. Overall, Lasocki and Ehrlich make a case for the recorder being surprisingly present, and significant, throughout Western music history.
Carl Dolmetsch and the Recorder Repertoire of the 20th Century

The Flageolet in England, 1660-1914
The flageolet is a recorder-like instrument whose history may be traced back to the seventeenth century. Predominantly an instrument of the amateur, the flageolet seldom featured in the orchestra but nevertheless occupied a smallbut unique niche in musical history. MacMillan traces the history of the instrument from its origin through to its heyday in England in the nineteenth century. The book is centred on an organological study of the flageolet, coupled with discussion of its repertoire, pedagogy, and place in musical society. It will be of interest to woodwind organologists, players of the flute and recorder, and to those who study the integration of musical instruments and their repertoire in relation to societal aspects of musical practice.

Das "Ende der Kunstperiode"
Im Anschluss an die Reflexionen von Hegel und Heine über das «Ende der Kunstperiode» und die kultursoziologischen Arbeiten von Pierre Bourdieu wird die Entwicklung der russischen Kultur und Literatur bis zur Konstitution des frühen Realismus verfolgt. Dabei werden sowohl die Veränderungen des literarischen Systems selbst als auch ihre politischen Voraussetzungen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen analysiert. Die vor allem von Puschkin, Odojewskij, Bulgarin, Lermontow und Gogol geprägte literarische Evolution wird auf diese Weise gleichzeitig historisch, philosophisch, ästhetisch und rezeptionsgeschichtlich begründet und dokumentiert.
Die Bedeutung der Blockflöte zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus
Dieser Beitrag zum Themenkomplex "Music and Politics" setzt sich mit der Rolle der Blockflöte während der Jahre 1933 bis 1945 im deutschsprachigen Raum auseinander – einer Zeitspanne, die in der Erforschung der Geschichte des Instruments bisher fast völlig außer Acht gelassen wurde. Unter der "Bedeutung" der Blockflöte zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wird dabei zum einen die kritische Dokumentation der vielschichtigen Verwobenheit des Instruments mit der Ideologie des Nationalsozialismus bzw. seine Brauchbarkeit für die Gliederungen der NSDAP verstanden, zum anderen die Darstellung der bislang in dieser Form nicht bekannten immensen Verbreitung der Blockflöte im fraglichen Zeitraum. Dabei fokussiert die Untersuchung auf die vielfältigen Einsatzmöglichkeiten der Blockflöte in den Bereichen des Laienmusizierens, der Musikpädagogik und der professionellen Musikausübung.
