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

Graupner-Werke-Verzeichnis (Gwv). Instrumentalmusik. Christoph Graupner [1683–1760], Hofkapellmeister in Darmstadt, gehörte zu den bekanntesten Komponisten des 18. Jahrhunderts. Die große Anzahl der Werke stand bisher einer Erfassung in einem thematischen Werkverzeichnis im Wege; das 2005 erschienene Graupner-Werke-Verzeichnis [Instrumentalmusik] stellt deswegen eine Pioniertat in der Graupner-Forschung dar. Neben den Nachweisen der Quellen, der bereits vorhandenen Noteneditionen und Tonaufzeichnungen sowie Literaturstellen für jedes Werk gewährleisten diverse Register [u. a. der Satztitel und der verwendeten Instrumente] einen schnellen Zugriff unter verschiedenen Gesichtspunkten. Erstmals wird eine kritische Trennung zwischenden nachweislich authentischen und den zweifelhaften oder sogar fälschlich zugeschriebenen Werken vorgenommen./ Répertoire / Divers

The Richard Wagner Complete Edition presents the composer's entire output for the first time in a reliable form. The conductor Michael Balling, in the early years of the 20th century, attempted to make Wagner's work more accessible for research and performance, but the edition only reached 10 volumes - some with grave shortcomings - and was discontinued after Balling's death in 1925. A further attempt at a complete edition by Otto Strobel was abandoned at the preliminary stages.This third attempt at a complete edition will be the first scholarly, critical edition, based on an evaluation of all the accessible source materials and the latest findings of serious Wagner research. As the edition is also intended for practical performance, the musical text has been kept free of philological insertions - these are listed in the appendices of each volume in the Critical Commentary. Numerous, partly unpublished works - some relatively unknown - and variant versions are published here for the first time. The edition presents authentic texts for Wagner specialists and researchers and critically based performing materials. Contrary to widely held opinions, even the well-known works of Wagner are not necessarily available in reliable editions. The genesis, history and performances directed by Wagner himself are extensively documented so as to present as complete an image as possible of Wagner's compositional intentions. / Divers
