Details

The Pantomime in G (VB 38) is the more expansive of these last two works, consisting of four movements. It was most likely composed for some celebration at the Jesuit Gymnasium and Music Seminar in Mannheim during the years 1769-1772, a period when the composer was beginning to learn his craft from the official teachers such as Pater Alexander Keck, as well as those composers of the famed Mannheim Court Orchestra. From all the evidence, Kraus was an active participant in the varied cultural life of the Palatinate capital, singing roles in various student operettas, performing on the violin, enthusiastically promoting German literature, and showing an aptitude for musical composition. Keck noted with pride that, when he was too busy to complete a "Musik- Spiel" (a sort of student operetta), he gave the nod to his prize pupil Kraus, who completed the work with great skill. Although the circumstances of the two pantomimes that survive from this period are not known, it is likely that they represent efforts to provide music for the annual pantomime scenes that occur during the Carnival season. The four movements of the work include a rather bombastic march and a brief Adagio interlude in rounded binary form. Any programme for the work, however, has not survived.

There exists only one source for both Pantomimes, a score in the Silverstolpe Collection at Uppsala, Sweden in the Universitetsbibliotek (Capsula 24). A note on the cover indicates that the copy, in the hand of a Viennese professional, was done in 1802 at the behest of Fredrik Silverstolpe, Kraus's first biographer. From evidence provided by an extensive correspondence between the Swedish diplomat and Kraus's sister Marianne, who provided either a copy or the autograph parts themselves, these pieces are some of the few from Kraus's early years to have survived. The copy is incomplete, the pantomime lacks a bass line in the final movement and the violas throughout. According to a note penned by Silverstolpe on the last page of the copy, this was not an unusual circumstance with this early music. For this edition, new parts have been added based upon style, harmony, and similar parts in other Kraus works.While they may not reflect the missing parts as Kraus originally wrote them, they nonetheless provide a means whereby these compositions can be performed with minimal intervention. There are very few articulation markings in the work, and where they do exist, they are sporadic and inconsistent. These have been incorporated where there is a clear indication such are reasonable. Slurs, also extremely inconsistent, have been cautiously regularized where there are clear indications in the source of the composer's intent; they have omitted where they occur as singular instances. All appoggiaturas have been linked to their principal note with a slur. The few patently wrong notes, the mistakes clearly of the copyist who may not have been a musician himself, have been tacitly corrected as have inconsistencies in the placement of the few dynamic markings. Ornamentation of the work is extremely sparse; no additional ornaments have been added, although there may be places where trills might be appropriate. Their addition is left to the discretion of the performer. The horn parts in the second movement march are likely in C basso, although a case for alto horns, noted by Heinrich Domminch as "toujours usité en Allemagne [always used in Germany]" in his 1802 treatise on horn playing, can be made on account of Kraus's deliberate avoidance of the appoggiatura a'' in bar 24 in the horn part, which would have been too high. Against this and in favour of the lower horn pitch, however, is the overall high tessitura of the horn parts. Bertil van Boer

Too Dry.
Format: Hardcover
This was a required textbook for my class in college. I think it was too dry. The book titled Deep Learning: From Curiosity To Mastery is much more approachable.

Comprehensive! The Bible of Deep Learning!
This book has by far surpassed my expectations! I have purchased many machine learning and deep neural network books in the past, but nothing has ever come close to this book! First of all, it is written by the fathers of Deep Learning, and is therefore an authority. Secondly, the book is broken into three parts: 1. A math overview and refresher. 2. Deep Learning applications and 3. Research in Deep Learning. I can't help but go through this book from front to back. It is a smooth read, and every sentence written is meaningful. These guys know their stuff! And after you read this book, YOU WILL ALSO know your stuff! If you feel daunted by the price, just remember, you get what you pay for! I'd say they could easily charge about $300+ for this book, but they are doing everyone a very kind favor by ONLY charging this reasonable amount. You get A LOT of bang for your buck with this purchase. I hesitated at first about buying this book because of the price, but I am soooooo happy that I did! Worth every penny! Look no further, get this book and start your Deep Learning journey!!

A rushed, poorly written guide of how the "experts" can't really explain what Deep Learning is
Format: Hardcover
This book, in every sense of the word, is rushed. I think the authors wanted to establish themselves as leaders of this young-ish field, but does so by sacrificing quality. It also shows that Deep Learning theory has been there for a long time, known by another name called Neural Networks. The interesting algorithms are of MLP, Back Propagation and the classical neural networks. The optimization methods such as Adam are the ones that are new and interesting, and the only ones worthy of in this book. So, essentially, what you get from this book is use A for X, B for Y and C for Z type of dry, un-intuitive, badly written waste of paper. As for the structure of the book, it's like an example of how not to structure a book. It has some linear algebra, probability at the start (not good enough, and confuses more people and wastes paper). Goes on to prove other algorithms such as PCA (yeah, ok!). Then, talks about how this architecture works for this and that architecture. So, yeah, if you really want to try out deep learning, don't buy this book. Set up Tensorflow/pytorch/ other library, run the tutorials, find an architecture for the problem you are interested in and start tweaking that. You will have far more fun and would have saved your money. The praise that this book gets is beyond me. Did Musk even read this book? I doubt it.

The classic textbook on Deep Learning
Format: Hardcover
Deep Learning is the promising direction towards general purpose effective artificial intelligence. There is an explosion of fruitful research in recent years and a lot of applications pursued mainly from technology giants as Google, Amazon, etc. and outstanding research institutions. The book "Deep Learning " by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, Aaron Gourville, is an excellent piece of work. They manage to present rather difficult things in an understandable manner. The theoretical presentation is outstanding typical of "classic" books. Also, the book stays close to the practical applicability of all the methods and discusses applications extensively. There are a lot of other useful books on deep learning that follow a more practical approach by focusing on a particular deep learning software package, but this one book is certainly much more essential since it provides the required theoretical background in order to be able to do serious work on deep learning. I consider the book as "must have" for anyone that works on deep learning either in an academic or in an industrial environment.

100% Recommend
Format: Paperback
Invincible Compendium One completely lived up to the hype. From the very first chapter, I was hooked by the story, the action, and the character development. What starts off feeling like a classic superhero story quickly becomes something much deeper, darker, and way more emotional than expected. The artwork is incredible and the fight scenes are intense without feeling repetitive. Every character feels important and layered, especially Mark and Omni-Man. The pacing is excellent for such a massive collection, and it’s hard to put down once you start reading. If you’re a fan of superhero comics but want something with real stakes, shocking twists, and strong storytelling, this is absolutely worth reading. Easily one of the best graphic novels I’ve picked up in a long time.
