At just 34 years of age Theodore Dubois was installed as a professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire. Whilst much of his compositional works have disappeared from primary classical repertoire his teaching has had a lasting influence. Having taught successful composers including Paul Dukas it is clear that Dubois' Realisation Of Figured Bass is well-informed. This music theory study guide covers a considerable range of figured bass aspects to a high standard. Taken from his Treaty Of Harmony Dubois explains the need for his treaty stating that it fills the gaps in harmonic theory exceriseswhich preceding guides had missed. With no harmonic elements left out with regard to figured bass this Dubois theory guide is necessary to accompany all music studies.

Apple Records was a noble experiment created in the spirit of the 1960s by four musicians who came to represent everything that was best about those tumultuous, experimental, and liberating times. The Beatles started out with the greatest of intentions, but reality soon got in the way. Much has been written about this period in the history of The Beatles' evolution and dissolution---some of it true, some of it wildly exaggerated, but not much of it first-hand. The Longest Cocktail Party is a rare exception. Written by Richard DiLello, who served as Apple Record's 'House Hippie' from 1968 to 1970, this unusual first-hand glimpse into The Beatles' empire humorously chronicles the stranger-than-life stories that were to become legendary, including visits by the Hell's Angels and endless tales of celebrity antics. Alfred Music is proud to offer this latest edition, which features a new and insightful foreword by the author. Originally published by Playboy Press in 1972, The Longest Cocktail Party has proven itself a timeless chronicle of this most colorful period in pop history. / Divers
