Now available in paperback! Béla Bartók's Mikrokosmos is a collection of 153 pieces for piano designed by the composer as a series graded according to difficulty. The pieces were written between 1926 and 1939, and have become by far the best-known series of teaching pieces by a major composer in the twentieth century. This in-depth study investigates Bartók's Mikrokosmos from three main viewpoints: the genesis of the pieces, their pedagogical value, and their stylistic qualities. The book is intended for piano teachers, students, and performers as well as anyone interested in Bartók's life and work as pianist, educator, and composer. Cloth originally published in 2002 under ISBN 0-8108-4427-3.

Béla Bartók’s six-book Mikrokosmos cycle is here presented for the first time in a superb single volume. Written between 1926 and 1939, this celebrated musical work spans simple études for beginners and complex technical tours de force aimed at skilled pianists. Bartók’s musical microcosm was designed to map and illustrate musical and technical progressions that remain as relevant to musical education today as they were when first published. From pieces suitable for those working towards Grade 1 to complex Grade 8-level pieces it advances through fundamentals such as hand co-ordination, musicality, aural skills and ensemble-playing, to complex and professionally performable concert pieces. Already accomplished players will discover a wealth of material to enjoy both as sight reading practice and as performance pieces. Beginners will find themselves embarking on a musical journey that promises potential mastery of their instrument. Mikrokosmos is a truly indispensable addition to every serious pianist’s library.

This volume reflects the latest developments in the research of a global community of rotifer researchers, who came together at Illmitz, Austria in 2003. Contributions are manifold and span fields from phylogeny and evolution of the phylum Rotifera to practical aspects of aquaculture and ecotoxicology. Major issues include phylogeny and evolution, genetics and molecular ecology, new aspects of rotifer anatomy through the application of confocal laser-scanning microscopy, anhydrobiosis, long-term studies in lakes and rivers, population dynamics and community ecology, trophic relationships between copepods and rotifers, alongside biodiversity studies based on classical taxonomic concepts and molecular approaches. Although primarily focussed on one taxonomic group, the scientific outcome of this meeting is of relevance to the study of other aquatic microinvertebrates as well.
