Book Synopsis An Examination of the Neo-classical Wind Works of Igor Stravinsky by : Scott Lubaroff
Download or read book An Examination of the Neo-classical Wind Works of Igor Stravinsky written by Scott Lubaroff and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study asserts that Stravinsky's Octour pour instruments a vents (1923) is pivotal within Stravinsky's progressions in regard to orchestrational practice, instrumental choices, and compositional choices, and presents it as the point in which all of these transitions came together for the first time. After an opening discussion of Stravinsky's early life and compositional career, it concentrates on setting up the Octet and Concerto through discussion of the years leading up to their composition. In addition to placing the two works within their context of their position and broader influence upon Stravinsky's surrounding production, it provides a full musical analysis of the Octet, followed by comparative analysis between it and the Concerto. The analysis is predominantly centered around compositional practices and orchestrational techniques.

Book Synopsis Connectionist Models of Musical Thinking by : Harold E. Fiske
Download or read book Connectionist Models of Musical Thinking written by Harold E. Fiske and published by Lewiston, N.Y. ; Queenston, Ont. : E. Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past decade, Fiske (music, U. of Western Ontario) has been using neural network models to test his theory that musical thinking can be described as a hierarchy of progressively more intricate pattern-comparison activity, and that the resulting musical realizations are limited to only three cognitive category types. He describes the development of his theory, several related experimental studies, and the neural network models he uses to test the theory. Neural network methodology can seem daunting, he admits, so he has tried to keep technical descriptions to a minimum in order to highlight his main goal: to describe and test a set of principles that appear to represent the foundation of musical understanding.

Book Synopsis The Opera Theatre of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle by : Kristina Bendikas
Download or read book The Opera Theatre of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle written by Kristina Bendikas and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bendikas' research work is particularly praiseworthy, given the difficulty of recreating the ephemeral experience of any staged production. Her examples are specific, grounded in impeccable scholarship, and employed to make important forays into matters of twentieth-century stage practice and theory as well as suggesting important questions about aesthetics and artistry in general. For theatre practitioners, the implications of Ponnelle's work for performance are immensely valuable. - Langdon Brown, University at Albany This work is the first full-length analysis of the major productions of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle (1932-1988), who has been hailed internationally as one of the most important opera directors/designers of the last century. In a career spanning four decades he was in demand at the leading opera houses of the world where he regularly collaborated with world-class conductors and singer-actors producing an enormous range of operas representing every period, genre and style from Monteverdi and Rossini to Wagner and Strauss. He was instrumental in reinstating the seria operas of Mozart into the active repertoire and was a formidable champion for new works. These credentials

Book Synopsis Tempo in the Soprano Arias of Puccini's La Boheme, Tosca, and Madame Butterfly by : Mei Zhong
Download or read book Tempo in the Soprano Arias of Puccini's La Boheme, Tosca, and Madame Butterfly written by Mei Zhong and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Difficulties in establishing tempos for Puccini's soprano arias arise from the lack of markings in some cases, ambiguous or impractical markings in others, doubts about the authorship of some markings, and wide variations in tempo among recorded performances. This study seeks to establish the originally intended tempos for these operas. By examining Puccini's autographs, the first edition vocal scores, and many early recordings - especially those by the sopranos or conductors who worked with the composer or performed the arias during Puccini's lifetime - it establishes tempos that conform to Puccini's musical and dramatic intentions. Additional sources include the commentaries of Luigi Ricci, Puccini's rehearsal pianist; contemporaneous and contemporary commentaries; and current scholarship.
Book Synopsis A Chronological Order for the Keyboard Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, 1685-1757 by : Matthew Flannery
Download or read book A Chronological Order for the Keyboard Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, 1685-1757 written by Matthew Flannery and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work proposes a solution to what is often considered the central problem facing Scarlatti scholarship, determining the chronological order of his keyboard sonatas. In the data-poor arena of Scarlatti research, this work, avoiding a primarily musicological or organological approach, analyzes large-scale patterns of musical characteristics over all (or parts) of a sonata sequence founded primarily on the Parma manuscript. As a result of an extensive application of this analytic approach to the sequence, this work notes that many sequence patterns seem to be chronologically structured, that none seem anti-chronological, and that a few mirror historical changes in the music of Scarlatti's time. These phenomena and other observations delimit something like a general history of Scarlatti's musical development enriched further by a variety of localized events. Among some 26 patterns observed in the sequence are a systematic rise in Scarlatti's use of the major mode, stepped increases in sonata compass that seem to accord with the sequential availability of larger keyboards, and both an increase in the rate at which the sonatas were combined into sets of two or three works and the use by Scarlatti of progressively complex techniques for doing so. This work also sketches a methodological background for the chronological proposal, including a discussion of why chronological order seems a superior interpretation of the sequence compared to the thought that it may have been reorganized, whether at random or by specific criteria. This study also discusses such subjects as the probable location of the 30 essercizi within the sonata sequence, the likely mis-location of several other sonatas, implications of chronological order from organology, a broadly dated window for the latter part of the sequence, the relationship between conservative and radical elements in Scarlatti's compositions, a late-sequence change in his approach to writing slow sonatas, and the interplay of structural integration and musical diversity in the later sonatas. It presents a new catalog of the sonatas that, while substantially congruent with Kirkpatrick's, proposes modifications to his ordering of the first hundred sonatas as well to a few other but smaller regions of the sequence.
