Sommario/riassunto

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's new open access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Fugue for J. S. Bach was a natural language; he wrote fugues in organ toccatas and voluntaries, in masses and motets, in orchestral and chamber music, and even in his sonatas for violin solo. The more intimate fugues he



wrote for keyboard are among the greatest, most influential, and best-loved works in all of Western music. They have long been the foundation of the keyboard repertory, played by beginning students and world-famous virtuosi alike. In a series of elegantly written essays, eminent musicologist Joseph Kerman discusses his favorite Bach keyboard fugues-some of them among the best-known fugues and others much less familiar. Kerman skillfully, at times playfully, reveals the inner workings of these pieces, linking the form of the fugues with their many different characters and expressive qualities, and illuminating what makes them particularly beautiful, powerful, and moving. These witty, insightful pieces, addressed to musical amateurs as well as to specialists and students, are beautifully augmented by performances made specially for this volume: Karen Rosenak, piano, playing two preludes and fugues fromTheWell-Tempered Clavier-C Major, book 1; and B Major, book 2--and Davitt Moroney playing the Fughetta in C Major, BWV 952, on clavichord; the Fugue on ";Jesus Christus unser Heiland,"; BWV 689, on organ; and the Fantasy and Fugue in A Minor, BWV 904, on harpsichord.

Sommario/riassunto

Russia is the world's largest geographic area, major economy, and important power in the global political-economic landscape. Over the past quarter century, following the landmark dissolution of the U.S.S.R., Russia has become a premier global marketplace despite remaining enigmatic and challenging. The book strives to serve as a concise guide in understanding Russia from an international business perspective. You will learn about strategic issues, business drivers, pros, cons, costs, and risks of international expansion. The coverage includes analytical tools, practical applications, sources of information, and assistance in international business research. These are followed by Russia's macroeconomic profile, drivers, strategic strengths and weaknesses in the comparative global context, including its international market attractiveness and primary opportunities for U.S. companies. The book examines Russia's main industries, their profiles, dynamics and business attractiveness, consumer trends, and marketing strategies. The discussion of Russia's regions covers regional subdivisions and economic profiles with the focus on the city of Moscow commanding top attractiveness from the domestic and international business perspective. The book covers the drivers and trends of the Russian small business sector and entrepreneurial business venturing. Despite the onslaught of capitalism and globalization, Russia retains its relationship-driven culture. The book provides insights in Russian culture by evaluating the determinants of Russian culture, its national profile in major global cross-cultural studies, and practical cultural applications in business, negotiations, and communications. The book's pedagogy includes critical information sources and skill development exercises and cases on doing business in Russia.
