Thanks to everyone who gave input about my download-now or don't-download-now conundrum.

I'm convinced, now, that I need to download now instead of waiting until I want a particular book. It might not still be around if I wait till later.

GtrsRGr8 · 02-15-2016, 03:01 PM

It's entitled Damaging Winds: Rumours that Salieri Murdered Mozart Swirl in the Vienna of Beethoven and Schubert. It's 279 pages in length. It's available in the pdf format. It appears that the book is self-published (but it's very well done!).

It's not at Amazon and it's not at GoodReads; so, I have no ratings or reviews to tell you about. And that's the reason that I wanted to see if one or more of you would be interested in vetting it.

Here's a blurb, from the back of the book:
Here he [the author, G] brings both his legal skills and his historical acumen to bear on the allegations that Antonio Salieri murdered his rival Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. But this is not a dry academic work but a compelling story of a young early 19th century woman's quest to discover the truth behind the Salieri rumours, a quest that brings her into conflict with those whom she loves. During her investigation she learns much about relationships and herself.

The author, C. Ian Kyer, has written quite a few non-fiction titles. But this appears to be his very first novel. It seems that he is quite an accomplished person:
C. Ian Kyer is a distinguished lawyer, historian, and author. For more than thirty years he practised law with the Faskens law firm, where he led the Technology and Intellectual Property Group. Ranked as one of Canada’s top 500 lawyers, he has advised both private sector parties and federal, provincial, and municipal governments on numerous projects, including public-private partnerships. He has often been praised for his even-handed approach and his ability to bring parties together. But Ian was an historian before he became a lawyer (with a PhD in Medieval ecclesiastical history), and on his retirement from the Faskens partnership, he has returned to history. He has written a history of the Faskens firm, an historical novel about Salieri and his relationship to Mozart, and numerous short biographies for the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.
From (https://www.irwinlaw.com/authors/c-ian-kyer).

The ebook is posted on the website of Canada's National Arts Centre (Centre National Des Arts). I think that it was posted in conjunction with a podcast or radio interview or something about Mr. Kyer and/or his book (if you're interested in finding out more about this, you can follow the links given here). So, I have every reason to believe that this is a legal free download.

You can download the ebook from the direct link here.

UPDATE: Here's another webpage about Mr. Kyer's podcast at the National Arts Centre.
Also--I found that the book is also available in ePub. Here's the link.

Rating of 3.14, but from only 7 reviews, at GoodReads. Not all that great there, but combined with the ratings at Amazon, the average rating ends up being quite high.

This 236-page self-pub might be a hidden gem.

Quote:

Richard Harrison is an Australian living in Hastings on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Having spent some twenty years working in advertising, he travelled to England, where he stumbled on the opportunity to launch and develop the iconic garden maintenance franchise Jim’s Mowing franchise in the UK. He had no interest or experience gardening but it seemed like an exciting opportunity and for a time it was, before it all ended as a spectacular failure. He has since returned to Australia where he does not work as a gardener.

I've spent some time in Hastings. Any excuse to get out is a good one.

The subject of this book is one that is interesting to me. Perhaps it is, or will be, for others of you also.

The book gets technical at times (I've found that a lot of pdf's found on the Web are like that). I'm sure that you would have to have had advanced education in music in order to be able to comprehend it all. However, I think that the average Mobilereader is capable of picking through it and gaining a lot of information from it.

The book appears to have been published in physical form in Germany, under a couple of different titles. However, I have not found any indication that it ever has been published in a physical form in the United States.

I could not find it either at the U.S. Amazon or at GoodReads; I couldn't even find it at the German Amazon (amazon.de). So, I have no ratings of the book to share with you. However, the authors appear to be very accomplished musicians (see information about them here, at their personal webpage (you have an option to read information in English about the authors from the menu near the top of the page, the rest of the website will have to be translated)) and the book well-researched. In part because of those facts, I'm sure that this book is a solid one.

Title: Music and Emotions :Research on the Theory of Musical Equilibration (die Strebetendenz-Theorie).
Format: Pdf.
Author(s): Daniela and Bernd Willimek.
Publisher: Daniela and Bernd Willimek?
Pages: v + 81.
Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews (Amazon): N/A.
Price: $0.00.
Lowest Price at Amazon if available there: N/A.
Book Description (From the Introduction):
The link between music and emotions is more of an issue than ever before, and music research is increasingly focusing on understanding the complex characteristics of this interaction. After all, for a long time the fact that music has an emotional impact upon us was one of the greatest of enigmas, since fundamentally it only consists of inanimate frequencies . . . .

Although people like to describe music as an international language, science has still not been able to provide an explanation that deconstructs the nature of this language. For decades, it left the task of decrypting this enigma to a small group of people: music psychologists. Despite being well-equipped with statistics software and calculators, music psychologists to date have not had any more success than the widely-cited brain research of recent decades when it comes to resolving the question about why music can stimulate an emotional response.

The Theory of Musical Equilibration (known in the original German as the StrebetendenzTheorie) is the first to create a psychological paradigm which explains the emotional effects of music. It breaks down musical sequences into one of their most essential components ― harmony ― and directly uses this material as the basis of its argumentation . . . .
Comments: The pdf appears on the authors' website (http://www.willimekmusic.de/), so I believe that it is legal to download.
