Zur Erinnerung an den Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg sind in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten zahlreiche Sammelbände und Monographien erschienen. Man könnte annehmen, dass dieses Thema schon ausreichend erforscht worden ist, was natürlich nicht der Fall sein kann. Denn in diesem "ersten Weltkrieg" haben so viele Akteure interveniert, dass noch lange nicht alle Dokumente, Briefe, Akten, Pläne, Memoranden, Augenzeugenberichte, Tagebücher etc. ausgewertet sind. Insofern ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass Teodora Toleva (1968-2011), eine junge, ambitionierte und viel zu früh an den Folgen einer schweren Krankheit verstorbene Historikerin aus Bulgarien, der dieser Gedenkband gewidmet ist, in den letzten Jahren ihres Lebens ebenfalls zum Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg Forschungen betrieben hat. Leider hat ihr früher und tragischer Tod die Vollendung ihres ehrgeizigen Forschungsprojekts verhindert. Dank der Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger aus mehreren Ländern, die alle an dieser Gedenkschrift mitgearbeitet haben, sollen ihre unvollendeten Forschungen durch neue Aspekte zu dem Thema ergänzt werden.

'Bach Counterpoint - Two-part invention' is a textbook in two volumes. The aim of this book is to explain Bach's compositional methods in an accessible manner, using methods and tools specially developed for this purpose. The two-part Bach inventions are a natural starting point, and have certain clear advantages when used to illustrate Baroque contrapuntal composition; it is in two parts, its form is clear, and it contains the same compositional techniques as the fugue, such as countermelody/counterpoint, sequences and motivic development. The book develops a method of understanding and composing inventions, based on a throrough analysis and exploration of Bach's inventions. To illustrate the progression and stringency of this method, this book has been structured as an insight into the 'compositional workshop'. Through analyses and music examples, the process of creation is illustrated, and throughout the book, how and why musical decisions are made are explained. Volume I will mainly focus on the first section of the form, up to the entry of the theme in the dominant or tonic parallel tonality. While relatively short, this willprove sufficient in introducing Bach's music. The exercises in this volume include writing counterpoint to a given melody, composing a longer sequence that concludes in a cadence in the new tonality, and will also cover topics such as melodic development, rhythm, and the treatment of dissonance in the style of Bach. In Volume II, instruction in compositional development continues with the analysis and composition of complete inventions, including the first section of the form, which is covered in this volume.

Jeg vil intet mere høre tale om Rom. Lad Grækenland tie, hvis det ikke vil vedgå, at alle dets kundskaber har deres oprindelse i Egypten.Disse ord blev skrevet af den unge søofficer Frederik Ludvig Norden (1708–1742) under en ekspedition i 1737 og beskriver den forbløffelse og ærefrygt, den egyptiske og nubiske kunst og arkitekturs tekniske snilde fyldte ham med.Nordens Rejser i Egypten og Nubien blev først udgivet posthumt i 1755, men den skulle vise sig at få stor betydning for det sene 18. århundredes diskussioner om Egypten og Grækenlands roller i skabelsen af europæisk identitet. Let Greece and Rome Be Silent, der illustreres af mere end 50 af Nordens egne skitser, analyserer Nordens bog og dens vedvarende kulturelle og intellektuelle indflydelse i hele Europa.
