The Op. 107 was The 30 Caprices for Flute were written specifically for a friend of Karg-Elert's, a flautist bound for service in the war. These short exercises were designed to challenge linear one-staff thinking and in short, keep the friend from becoming bored. They are now a standard set of technical, dynamic, and phrasing exercises for young flute students all over the world. Re-issued from the original authoratitive plates of Steingräber Verlag, 1910, originally printed in Leipzig. Reprinted here by Edition Fleury 2013.

However, the base of historical experience available for study has been largely American and overwhelmingly Western. In Russian-Soviet Unconventional Wars in the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Afghanistan, Dr. Robert F. Baumann makes a significant contribution to the expansion of that base with a well-researched analysis of four important episodes from the Russian-Soviet experience with unconventional wars. Primarily employing Russian sources, including important archival documents only recently declassified and made available to Western scholars, Dr. Baumann provides an insightful look at the Russian conquest of the Caucasian mountaineers (1801-59), the subjugation of Central Asia (1839-81), the reconquest of Central Asia by the Red Army (1918-33), and the Soviet war in Afghanistan (1979-89). The history of these wars—especially as it relates to the battle tactics, force structure, and strategy employed in them—offers important new perspectives on elements of continuity and change in combat over two centuries. This is the first study to provide an in-depth examination of the evolution of the Russian and Soviet unconventional experience on the predominantly Muslim southern periphery of the former empire. There, the Russians encountered fierce resistance by peoples whose cultures and views of war differed sharply from their own. Consequently, this Leavenworth Paper addresses not only issues germane to combat but to a wide spectrum of civic and propaganda operations as well.

A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don't change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation aren't enough: even when it's literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive. Given that the status quo is so potent, how can we change ourselves and our organizations? In Immunity to Change, authors Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey show how our individual beliefs--along with the collective mind-sets in our organizations--combine to create a natural but powerful immunity to change. By revealing how this mechanism holds us back, Kegan and Lahey give us the keys to unlock our potential and finally move forward. And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us. This persuasive and practical book, filled with hands-on diagnostics and compelling case studies, delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Most etudes and studies are designed for flutists to practice technical exercises. The Thirty Caprices, op. 107, for solo flute by Sigfrid Karg-Elert focus on technical and stylistic exercises. Karg-Elert's Thirty Caprices are created as a guide for flutists to play as if these were solo pieces from the flute repertoire. Karg-Elert introduces these caprices in the preface as addressing the "urgent need of forming a connecting link between the existing educational literature and the unusually complicated parts of modern orchestral works." He refers to several well-known composers and writes that these caprices are meant to help flutists prepare the existing works as a guide or method studies to achieve standard flute repertoire and orchestral excerpts. In this thesis, I provide in depth theoretical analysis of each caprice and describe how Karg-Elert uses the Thirty Caprices to educate flutists with these exercises. I categorize the caprices into eight sections that require specific flute techniques: embouchure flexibility (arpeggios, whole tone, chromatic scales), rhythm, articulations (single, double, triple, flutter tonguing, slurs), finger technique, dynamic contrast, and embellishments (grace notes, mordents, and trills). I demonstrate the connections between the caprices and pieces in the flute repertoire, further emphasizing and explaining the importance of the caprices in mastering works in the modern flute repertoire as well as orchestral excerpts."--author's abstract.
