Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chopin's four ballades are widely regarded as being amongst the most significant extended works for solo piano of the nineteenth century. In an illuminating discussion, Jim Samson combines history and analysis to provide the reader with a comprehensive picture of these popular piano works. He begins by investigating the social and musical background to Chopin's unique style. He describes the manuscript sources and evaluates the many subsequent printed editions, then considers the critical reception of the ballades and the differing interpretations of well-known nineteenth- and twentieth-century pianists. The final two chapters examine the music of all four works analytically. There is a clearly presented formal synopsis of each ballade in turn, followed by a discussion of the works collectively which explores Chopin's own conception of the title 'ballade' and how it may be understood as a musical genre.

Download or read book Play It Again written by Alan Rusbridger and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guardian editor and amateur pianist’s account of a remarkable musical challenge during an extraordinary year for news. As editor of the Guardian, one of the world’s foremost newspapers, Alan Rusbridger lives by the relentless twenty-four-hour news cycle. But increasingly in midlife, he feels the gravitational pull of music—especially the piano. He sets himself a formidable challenge: within a year, to fluently learn Chopin’s magnificent Ballade No. 1 in G minor, arguably one of the most difficult Romantic compositions in the repertory. With pyrotechnic passages that require feats of memory, dexterity, and power, the piece is one that causes alarm even in battle-hardened concert pianists. Under ideal circumstances, this would have been a daunting task. But the particular year Rusbridger chooses turns out to be one of frenetic intensity, beginning with WikiLeaks’ massive dump of state secrets and ending with the Guardian’s revelations about widespread phone hacking at News of the World. “In between, there were the Japanese tsunami, the Arab Spring, the English riots . . . and the death of Osama Bin Laden,” writes Rusbridger. The test would be to “nibble out” twenty minutes per day to do something totally unrelated to these events. Rusbridger’s subject is larger than any one piece of music: Play It Again deals with focus, discipline, and desire but is, above all, about the sanctity of one’s inner life in a world dominated by deadlines and distractions. Praise for Play It Again “An absorbing, adroitly crafted tale of humility, discipline and the sheer love of music . . . [Alan Rusbridger’s] triumph is an inspiration.” —Katie Hafner, The New York Times Book Review “A unique mélange of political and musical reportage . . . [Alan Rusbridger] illuminates not only print media in this digital age but also the changing role of the music within.” —Iain Burnside, The Observer (London)

Download or read book Chopin and His World written by Jonathan D. Bellman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new look at the life, times, and music of Polish composer and piano virtuoso Fryderyk Chopin Fryderyk Chopin (1810–49), although the most beloved of piano composers, remains a contradictory figure, an artist of virtually universal appeal who preferred the company of only a few sympathetic friends and listeners. Chopin and His World reexamines Chopin and his music in light of the cultural narratives formed during his lifetime. These include the romanticism of the ailing spirit, tragically singing its death-song as life ebbs; the Polish expatriate, helpless witness to the martyrdom of his beloved homeland, exiled among friendly but uncomprehending strangers; the sorcerer-bard of dream, memory, and Gothic terror; and the pianist's pianist, shunning the appreciative crowds yet composing and improvising idealized operas, scenes, dances, and narratives in the shadow of virtuoso-idol Franz Liszt. The international Chopin scholars gathered here demonstrate the ways in which Chopin responded to and was understood to exemplify these narratives, as an artist of his own time and one who transcended it. This collection also offers recently rediscovered artistic representations of his hands (with analysis), and—for the first time in English—an extended tribute to Chopin published in Poland upon his death and contemporary Polish writings contextualizing Chopin's compositional strategies. The contributors are Jonathan D. Bellman, Leon Botstein, Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger, Halina Goldberg, Jeffrey Kallberg, David Kasunic, Anatole Leikin, Eric McKee, James Parakilas, John Rink, and Sandra P. Rosenblum. Contemporary documents by Karol Kurpiński, Adam Mickiewicz, and Józef Sikorski are included.

This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; This book contains 98 works of the great Polish composer Frederic Chopin. It is the first of 3 volumes of the complete works of his and is comprised mainly of scans of pre 1923 sheet music by various music publishers containing original copyright references. Overall it's a warts and all (although we have cleaned up and digitally enhanced as much as possible) reproduction of some very old manuscripts so there are some minor printing imperfections owing to the age and quality of these original manuscripts.

Contained within this first volume are 4 Ballades, 27 Etudes, 21 Nocturnes, 27 Preludes, and 19 Waltzes which highlight the brilliance of Chopin. There is a detailed 25 page biography of the life and times of Frederic Chopin at the beginning. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; The book is then divided into 5 sections each containing a specific category of Chopin's catalogue of music:- nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Ballades nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Etudes nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Nocturnes nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Preludes nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Waltzes nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Here's a list of all the 98 musical compositions included:- Ballade No. 1 in G. minor, Op. 23 Ballade No. 2, Op. 38 Ballade No. 3, Op. 47 Ballade No. 4, Op. 52 Etude in F minor No. 1 Etude in A-flat major No. 2 Etude in D-flat major No. 3 Etude in C major, Op. 10, No. 1 Etude in A minor, Op. 10, No. 2 Etude in C-sharp minor, Op. 10, No. 4 Etude in G-flat major, Op. 10, No. 5 Etude in E-flat minor, Op. 10, No. 6 Etude in C major, Op. 10, No. 7 Etude in F major, Op. 10, No. 8 Etude in F minor, Op. 10, No. 9 Etude in A-flat major, Op. 10, No. 10 Etude in E-flat major, Op. 10, No. 11 Etude in C minor, Op. 10, No. 12 Etude in A-flat major, Op. 25, No. 1 Etude in F minor, Op. 25, No. 2 Etude in F major, Op. 25, No. 3 Etude in A minor, Op. 25, No. 4 Etude in E minor, Op. 25, No. 5 Etude in G-sharp minor, Op. 25, No. 6 Etude in C-sharp minor, Op. 25, No. 7 Etude in D-flat major, Op. 25, No. 8 Etude in G-flat major, Op. 25, No. 9 Etude in B minor, Op. 25, No. 10 Etude in A minor, Op. 25, No. 11 Etude in C minor, Op. 25, No. 12 Nocturne No. 1 to No. 21 Prelude in A-flat major Prelude Op. 28, No. 1 to No. 24 Prelude Op. 45, No. 25 Prelude No. 27 Grande Valse brillante in E-flat major, Op. 18 Waltz in Vivace A-flat major, Op. 34, B 94 No. 1 Waltz in Lento A minor, Op. 34, B64 No. 2 Waltz in Vivace F major, Op. 34, B118 No. 3 Waltz in A-flat major, Op. 42, B131 Waltz in D-flat major, Op. 64, B164 No. 1 Waltz in C-sharp minor, Op. 64, B164 No. 2 Waltz in A-flat major, Op. 64, B164 No. 3 Waltz in A-flat major, Op. 69, B95 No. 1 Waltz in B minor, Op. 69, B35 No. 2 Waltz in G-flat major, Op. 70, B92 No. 1 Waltz in F minor, Op. 70, B138 No. 2 Waltz in D-flat major, Op. 70, B40 No. 3 Waltz in E minor (Posthumous) Waltz in E major (Posthumous) Waltz in A-flat major, B21 Waltz in E-flat major, B46 Waltz in E-flat major, B133 Waltz in A minor, B150 nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; We hope you enjoy playing the music of this musical genius as much as we enjoyed compiling it into this complete collection of works.

Download or read book Chopin: Pianist and Teacher written by Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-12-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English paperback edition of the unique collection of documents which reveal Chopin as teacher and interpreter of his own music. From the accounts of his pupils, acquaintances and contemporaries, together with his own writing, we gain valuable insight into Chopin's pianistic and stylistic practice, his teaching methods and his aesthetic beliefs. The documents are divided into two categories: those concerning technique and style, two notions inseparable in Chopin's mind, and those concerning the interpretation of Chopin's works. Extensive appendix material presents Chopin's essay 'Sketch for a method', as well as annotated scores belonging to Chopin's pupils and acquaintances, and personal accounts of Chopin's playing as experienced by his contemporaries: composers and pianists, pupils and friends, writers and critics. The statements of Chopin's own students in diaries, letters and reminiscences, written, dictated or conveyed by word of mouth, provide the bulk of these accounts. Throughout the book detailed annotations add a valuable scholary dimension, creating an indispensable guide to the authentic performance of Chopin's piano works.

Download or read book The Music of Chopin written by Jim Samson and published by Routledge & Kegan Paul Books. This book was released on 1985 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lasting popularity of Chopin's music has reached "from salon to slum." He captured and expressed the spirit of the age of Romanticism, its ardour and idealism, its longing and restlessness, its love of spontaneity, with an authority his contemporaries immediately recognized and which successive generations have admired and loved. Much of the Chopin literature in English is biographical, but this book is a critical study of the music itself and of the creative process which is central to the life of any composer. Samson provides a detailed analysis of the style and structure of the music in the light of recent Chopin scholarship on the one hand and recent analytical methods on the other. The early chapters deal mainly with the sources and the characteristic profile of Chopin's musical style, relating his music to a wider context in social and stylistic history. Later chapters look rather at the structure of his music and how it functions, with many examples highlighting the discussion.
