More than mere entertainment; German theater was a crucial component of culture_often influencing society and politics in German-speaking countries_whose influence gradually reached much further with the emergence of outstanding playwrights like Goethe; Schiller; Hauptmann; and Brecht; as well as exceptional dramas such as Faust and The Threepenny Opera. The Historical Dictionary of German Theater covers the field of theater performance in the German language; concentrating on German-speaking Europe; through a chronology; a list of acronyms and abbreviations; an introductory essay; a bibliography; and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant playwrights; directors; producers; designers; actors; plays; theaters; cities; dramatic genres; and movements such as the Sturm und Drang; Naturalism; and Expressionism.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. preview on was greatly ENLARGEDBy Satisfied CustomerThis is not about content-which is rather GOOD. It is about SIZE. The preview on was greatly ENLARGED so as to be readable; when in fact each diagram is only 1/2 in high. ...I raised my rating from 1 to 2 to 3 stars based on CONTENT which is well laid out and understandable. This would be a 6 star book if it were spiral bound in 10 x 12 pages with the charts at double the size. People would pay the double price required for this improvement.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Concise and Exceptionally Informative! Highly Recommended!By Robert G.Concise and exceptionally informative. The diagonal scales pattern concept is a teriffic learning method and is introduced early in the book. This immediately got me beyond the constraints of the box positions concept. Had I known about this book earlier; it woild have been one of my first buys! Highly Recommended! Start with this book!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Best scale book; lowest priceBy Donald M. ThompsonI have a shelf full of scale books and several apps as well. This one is the best (and the least expensive; but for the apps). Good explanation; in the fewest words possible; of scale construction; theory; and modes. You can go a mile deep on theory elsewhere if you want; this is all you need to learn and practice scales. Other books have more explanation about root shapes and patterns across the fretboard; box patterns that go with root shapes; and scale construction; but its all here if you take your time going through it and let it sink in. Wish Id have bought this book first; the other more in-depth ones later.
