Book Description
Excerpt from The University of Pennsylvania Library Chronicle, 1940, Vol. 8: Nos. 1 and 2-3 The Library has recently been enriched by the gift of the music library of the Philadelphia Art Alliance. This splendid collection will be welcomed and put to extensive use both by research workers in musicology and by the many students in undergraduate music courses at the University. This gift of the Board of Directors of the Art Alliance is particularly appreciated in the year of the University's bicentennial celebration. The collection consists of upwards of volumes Of musical literature and of scores. Blany of the books on music were originally in the library of James Crosby Brown, and include important and rare works in history of music and on musical instruments. The music scores include a large quantity of bound volumes of piano and vocal music, a number of vocal scores of operas, and an important addition to the University's collection of full orchestral scores. There is also a considerable collection Of chamber music in both scores and parts. Since the collection was formed some years ago, there is very little of the music of the last fifty years, but on the other hand the most important classic and romantic composers are very fully represented.

Philosophical Episodes
Author: Nicholas RescherPublisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110319934
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Philosophical work comes in different sizes: there are systemic treatises, monographic surveys, philosopher-expanding texts. But there is also room for smaller studies that focus on highly particularized ideas and issues: studies that deal not with entire continents but with mere reefs and estuaries. The present essays are of this limited nature. Their aim is less to give a view of the overall lay of the land than to give a tranistic view of the diversity of the landscape. The present book continues Rescher’s longstanding practice of publishing groups of philosophical essays that originated in occasional lecture and conference presentations. Notwithstanding their topical diversity the essays exhibit a uniformity of method in a common attempt to view historically significant philosophical issues in the light of modern perspectives opened up thorough conceptual clarification.
