A once selfish giant welcomes the children to his previously forbidden garden to play and is eventually rewarded by an unusual tiny child.

Pyotr Tchaikovsky is one of the Romantic period's greatest composers and the first Russian composer to achieve international fame and admiration. Written during the years that he worked as a professor of music theory at the Moscow Conservatory from 1865 until 1878, "Guide to the Practical Study of Harmony" is Tchaikovsky's illuminating and instructive work on the fundamentals of musical composition. The guide was not widely distributed after it was published and remains rare as one of the few instructional works written by a famous and gifted composer. Tchaikovsky was composing some of his most important and creative works during his tenure as a professor, such as his early operas, including "Voyavoda" and "Swan Lake", as well "Variations on a Rococo Theme", and his Third and Fourth Symphonies. "Guide to the Practical Study of Harmony" is not only a fascinating glimpse into the mind and creative process of one of history's greatest composers, but it endures as a useful and helpful guide full of examples and exercises for all teachers and advanced students of music to use in understanding the role that harmony plays in compositions. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Emil Krall and James Liebling.

E. T. A. Hoffmann, geboren 1776 in Königsberg, studierte Jura und wurde Referendar am Berliner Kammergericht. Wegen seiner Karikaturen auf preußische Offiziere wurde er nach Polen strafversetzt und schließlich Kapellmeister in Bamberg. Bis zu seiner Rückkehr nach Berlin 1814 widmete er sich vor allem der Musik. In Berlin wurde er Kammergerichtsrat, gründete den Serapinenorden und verfasste bedeutende Romane wie "Die Elixiere des Teufels" und "Die Lebensansichten des Katers Murr". Seine Erzählungen, darunter die vorletzte "Der Meister Floh", wurden teilweise zensiert, da die Figuren als Satire auf reale Personen wahrgenommen wurden. 1822 erkrankte Hoffmann schwer und diktierte vom Sterbebett aus die Erzählung "Des Vetters Eckfenster", in der er sich dem kritischen Realismus näherte. Er starb am 25. Juni 1822 in Berlin. Die vorliegende Neuausgabe enthält eine Biographie des Autors und basiert auf den poetischen Werken von E.T.A. Hoffmann. Die Paginierung der ursprünglichen Ausgabe wird zeilengenau mitgeführt. Die Umschlaggestaltung verwendet ein Werk von Camille Corot.
