1953réf. 044510Wien / Vienna: Universal 1953. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 117 Pp. Softcover Large Format. Inscribed Jan. 3 1954 By Zeisl To His Friend Hugo Apparently A Close Friend Of The Schoenfeld Sisters Violinists. Erich Zeisl 1905 - 1959 Often Spelled Eric Was An Austrian-Born American Composer. Born To A Middle Class Jewish Family In Vienna Zeisl Was The Son Of Kamilla Feitler And Siegmund Zeisl. His Musical Precocity Enabled Him To Gain A Place At The Vienna State Academy Against The Wishes Of His Family When He Was 14 At Which Age His First Song Was Published. While There He Studied With Richard Stöhr Joseph Marx And Hugo Kauder. He Won A State Prize For A Setting Of The Requiem Mass In 1934 But His Jewish Background Made It Difficult To Obtain Work And Publication. After The Anschluss In 1938 He Fled First To Paris Where He Began Work On An Opera Based On Joseph Roth's Job And Then To New York City. Eventually He Went To Hollywood Where He Worked On Film Music But Increasingly Felt Isolated And Ill At Ease With The Production-Line Demands Of His Employers. Among The Films For Which He Wrote Music Were The Postman Always Rings Twice 1946 And Abbott And Costello Meet The Invisible Man 1951. Zeisl's Style Was Essentially Tonal And Conservative Compared To Contemporaries Such As Arnold Schoenberg And Thus Not Totally Unsuited To Film Music Composition. But His Heart Lay Elsewhere. At One Stage He Was Employed To Arrange The Music For A Highly Inaccurate Stage Show About The Life Of Tchaikovsky Song Without Words. His Anguish About His Reduction To Such Work Together With The Straits To Which Other Émigré Composers In America Were Reduced At The Time Is Evident In A Letter Written To A Friend In 1945: 'Even Milhaud Stravinsky Tansman Are Struggling. Béla Bartók Died In New York Of Hunger! . Last Year I Orchestrated A Tchaikowsky Operetta Which Provided A Living For 8 Months But Why Does Tchaikowsky Have To Be Put Into An Operetta . No Composer Is Important Here'. Nonetheless Zeisl Was Able Eventually To Find Academic Appointments And Time To Compose In His Own Style. These Works Included A Variety Of Chamber Music A Piano Concerto A Concerto For Cello Written For Gregor Piatigorsky And A Setting For Choir Soloists And Orchestra Of Psalm 92 In Hebrew Which He Titled Requiem Ebraico Hebrew Requiem Written In 1944-5 In Memory Of His Father. A Work Of Variations For Orchestra Was Based On The Christmas Carol "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear." His Opera Hiob Job Was Never Completed. Zeisl Was Married To Gertrud Susanne Jellinek. His Daughter Barbara Zeisl Schoenberg Married Ronald Schoenberg The Son Of The Composer Arnold Schoenberg. His Grandson Is Lawyer E. Randol Schoenberg. Zeisl's Status As A Proscribed Musician Under The Nazi Regime Has Been One Element In A Revival Of Interest In His Music Some Of Which Is Now Available On Cd. The Premiere Performance Of The Requiem Ebraico Was Held In Los Angeles In The Hollywood First Methodist Church On April 8 1945 By Hugo Strelitzer Conducting The Fairfax Temple Choir.

From Wikipedia: Alfred Landé 1888 -1976 Was A German-American Physicist Known For His Contributions To Quantum Theory. In 1913 Landé Was Sent By Arnold Sommerfeld His Thesis Advisor At The University Of Munich To Be A Special Assistant For Physics To David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen To Replace Paul Peter Ewald Whom Sommerfeld Had Sent To The Same Position In 1912. Landé Obtained His Doctorate Under Sommerfeld At The University Of Munich Two Weeks Prior To The Start Of The First World War. He Joined The Red Cross And Served For Two Years On The Eastern Front Before Being Invited By Max Born To Join Him At The Artillery Testing Commission One Of The Few Scientific Sections Of The Army. Apart From Their Work On Artillery Location By Sound Ranging They Began To Examine The Cohesive Forces And Compressibility Of Crystals. This Work Led To The Unexpected Result That The Electron Trajectories In Atoms Were Not At All Like Planetary Orbits Which At The Time Was The Usual Understanding Of The Electron In An Atom. Landé Studied Atomic Structure Intensively For The Next Seven Years. In 1916 Sommerfeld Had Begun To Apply The New Atomic Theory To Form A General Quantization Rule. In 1919 Landé Unexpectedly Turned To Spectroscopy Even Though The Continuation Of The Study Of The Spatial Orientation Of The Atoms Was The Most Pressing Problem Of The Time. He Turned To The Problem Of Atoms With Several Electrons In Particular To The Simplest Case The Spectrum Of Helium. The Spectrum Showed Non-Combining Single And Double Actually Triplet As It Turned Out Later Terms So That It Seemed As If Helium Was Made Of Two Different Substances Which Is Explained Today As The Result Of Electron Spin. Landé's Work Contained Several New Important Ideas Including The Rule Of Vector Addition Of Two Quantum-Mechanical Angular Momenta J1 And J2. His Findings And Postulates Were Later Confirmed By Quantum Theory. Landé's Frankfurt Investigations December 1920 Until April 1921 Ended With The Discovery Of The Well-Known Landé G-Formula And An Explanation For The Anomalous Zeeman Effect. The Landé G-Factor Is Now Defined Through Mj The Magnetic Quantum Number. In 1923 Landé Stated The Landé Interval Rule A Rule Dealing With The Relation Between An Electron's Spin And Orbit. Landé Was A Forerunner In A Phase Of New Interpretation Of Quantum Theory From Which Concrete Physical Statements About Experimentally Verifiable Facts Can Be Made. This Happened After The First Phase Of The Interpretation Of The Theory With Well-Known Discussions Between Niels Bohr Werner Heisenberg And Wolfgang Pauli Who Favoured The Copenhagen Interpretation Opposed In Varying Degrees By Erwin Schrödinger Louis De Broglie And Most Notably Albert Einstein. After 1950 And For The Rest Of His Life Landé Turned Energetically Against The Copenhagen Interpretation Of Quantum Theory Requiring As Did Einstein An Objectively Real Description Of Physical Processes. This Change Was Driven By Landé's Perception That Wave-Particle Duality Was An Unnecessary Misrepresentation Of Quantum Processes That He Explained By Developing A New Unitary Particle Formulation Without Dualistic Reference To Waves. Landé Based His New Formulation Upon Non-Quantal Principles Of Symmetry And Invariance With Duane's Rule For Quantisation Of Momentum Exchange With Space-Periodic Structures And Leibniz's Principle Of Cause-Effect Continuity To Explain The Intrinsically Probabilistic Nature Of Quantum Processes. His Interpretation Is Considered A Minority Interpretation. Macmillan And Co hardcover

Zaid also analyses the risks & rewards of various edition sizes and finds that for most books the apparent savings in large printings is an illusion.
