Book Synopsis Charles Valentin Alkan by : WilliamAlexander Eddie
Download or read book Charles Valentin Alkan written by WilliamAlexander Eddie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 'conservative radical' is William Alexander Eddie's description of the French virtuoso composer-pianist Charles Valentin Alkan (1813-1888). Judaic culture, the French baroque and German classicism were the main influences on Alkan's musical style, with more radical musical tendencies found in many of the Esquisses op 63. This comprehensive survey takes as its focus a stylistic analysis of Alkan's compositions from the apprentice works to the later 'massed style' etudes; the latter are of considerable length and pianistic difficulty. There is also consideration of Alkan's achievements as pianist and teacher, and the sections on performance practice in Alkan will be of interest to pianists today. A full investigation of Alkan's reception history is also included and useful appendices provide a guide to further archival research. A list of works and basic discography complete this new study of an important French composer.

Book Synopsis Structural Novelty and Tradition in the Early Romantic Piano Concerto by : Stephan D. Lindeman
Download or read book Structural Novelty and Tradition in the Early Romantic Piano Concerto written by Stephan D. Lindeman and published by Pendragon Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lindeman, a musicologist, traces and defines the historical development of the concerto form as it passed from Mozart to succeeding generations. He then assesses Beethoven's contributions, and examines the classical model of the form in the early 19th century by overviewing several early romantic composers' works. Subsequent chapters analyze and assess the responses of five precursers of Schumann, whose work offers a synthesis of radical experiments and traditional tenets. He concludes by suggesting that concertos of Lizst offer a road into further developments of the genre in the second half of the century. Illustrated with bandw portraits of composers and excerpts from musical scores. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Synopsis Franz Liszt: The virtuoso years, 1811-1847 by : Alan Walker
Download or read book Franz Liszt: The virtuoso years, 1811-1847 written by Alan Walker and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume in Alan Walker's magisterial biography of Franz Liszt. "You can't help but keep turning the pages, wondering how it will all turn out: and Walker's accumulated readings of Liszt's music have to be taken seriously indeed."--D. Kern Holoman, New York Review of Books "A conscientious scholar passionate about his subject. Mr. Walker makes the man and his age come to life. These three volumes will be the definitive work to which all subsequent Liszt biographies will aspire."--Harold C. Schonberg, Wall Street Journal "What distinguishes Walker from Liszt's dozens of earlier biographers is that he is equally strong on the music and the life. A formidable musicologist with a lively polemical style, he discusses the composer's works with greater understanding and clarity than any previous biographer. And whereas many have recycled the same erroneous, often damaging information, Walker has relied on his own prodigious, globe-trotting research, a project spanning twenty-five years. The result is a textured portrait of Liszt and his times without rival."--Elliot Ravetz, Time "The prose is so lively that the reader is often swept along by the narrative.... This three-part work... is now the definitive work on Liszt in English and belongs in all music collections."--Library Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Festschrift zum 65. Geburtstag von Peter Revers ehrt eine der wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten der österreichischen Musikwissenschaft der Gegenwart. Seit fast vier Jahrzehnten prägt er auch international das Fach Musikwissenschaft in Vorträgen und Publikationen, durch Symposien und Forschungsprojekte, als Lehrer und Gutachter. Mit dem Thema "Musik im Zusammenhang" ist ein wesentliches Charakteristikum von Revers' Arbeit gefasst. Sein pluraler wissenschaftlicher Ansatz vermag Zusammenhänge in differenzierter Weise sichtbar zu machen - zwischen Musikformen und -gattungen genauso wie zwischen Musik und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen. Dies spiegelt sich auch in den 52 Beiträgen des Bandes, die sich vielfältig auf die Forschungen des Geehrten beziehen, so u. a. auf die Musik W. A. Mozarts und Gustav Mahlers, auf die Musikgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts und die Interpretationsforschung.

Download or read book Jewry in Music written by David Conway and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Conway analyses why and how Jews, virtually absent from Western art music until the end of the eighteenth century, came to be represented in all branches of the profession within fifty years as leading figures – not only as composers and performers, but as publishers, impresarios and critics. His study places this process in the context of dynamic economic, political, sociological and technological changes and also of developments in Jewish communities and the Jewish religion itself, in the major cultural centres of Western Europe. Beginning with a review of attitudes to Jews in the arts and an assessment of Jewish music and musical skills, in the age of the Enlightenment, Conway traces the story of growing Jewish involvement with music through the biographies of the famous, the neglected and the forgotten, leading to a radical contextualisation of Wagner's infamous 'Judaism in Music'.
