Youre born a girl. You grow up. You grow old. You die. But along the way can you really forge your own identity? Can you actually choose your own destiny? And would you do anything differently if you could do it all over again?

Aimed at addressing gender imbalance and inequality in theatre; Platform comprises big-cast plays with predominantly or all-female casts; written specifically for performance by school; college and youth-theatre groups. Drama is an important tool for building confidence and empowering young people. Platform will give girls opportunity to access these benefits as much as their male counterparts. - Moira Buffini

The golden standard for Sonata TheoryBy Chris HDense and difficult reading; but if youre into hardcore sonata theory and subscribe to Darcy/Hepokoskis work; youll love this original text. Note that it is not easy to read through - in my advanced theory class; the professor gave out handouts that simplified lots of their terminology and work; but this book is nothing like that at all. Very technical and detailed.25 of 27 people found the following review helpful. The Last Word on "Sonata-Form"By Richard MathisenAs a pianist and music-lover; I have long been fascinated by the movement structure called "sonata-form." "Sonata-form" is the structure of the first movements (and many other movements) of almost every major piece of classical music from the Classical Era. Now a clear and comprehensive analysis of "sonata-form" has arrived; in the book "Elements of Sonata Theory."The most surprising feature to me is that this book is quite readable. Readability is not something that can be taken for granted in the turgid literature of music theory. Therefore; the book is of value to a layperson like myself and not only to specialists. (The final four chapters; on the concerto version of sonata-form; are more difficult to read; but that is quite minor.) Another surprise to me was that a lot of information in the book was new to me. I have read widely in this field; but I still learned a lot.Like any first edition; a few questionable statements have slipped in. For example; on p.20 the book implies that after about 1760 it became normal to repeat only the first part (the exposition); and not repeat the second part. Apparently; Mozart was not informed of this normal practice. Mozart called for the repeat of the second part in almost every sonata-form movement in his piano sonatas (28 of 31 sonata-form movements). But this is mere quibbling.If someone is seriously interested in the subject of "sonata-form;" this is the book to get.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Dont rely on just e-book for academic use.By J. WagnerI would rate the book itself as 5 stars; but do not rely on the electronic version to be your only version of the book. The Kindle version does not have page numbers and does not refer to the page numbers in the print version; making it very difficult to use for citations.
