This book was released on 1962 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first time that the complete letters and papers of Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714-1787) have been presented to the world. Students of music history know that the first performance of Alceste was a milestone in the history of opera, as was that of Tannhaüser many decades later. Readers will find new light thrown on the conditions of artists and their relations with their patrons in the eighteenth century. Music lovers will be fascinated by the authentic flavor of mounting excitement as Gluck challenges the 'Establishment' with his 'reform' operas and the famous quarrel breaks over Paris. This episode in its personal drama and historical significance was later to be used by Richard Strauss in his opera of operas Capriccio. The inclusion of whole letters from contemporary journals, to which Gluck frequently refers, will be a revelation to readers of the high level at which the debate was pursued. The letters reveal Gluck not only as a great musician, but as a man of wide interests and culture, whose opinions are invariably stimulating. This is how Gluck epitomizes his views in a letter to the future Emperor Leopold II: 'When I began to write the music for Alceste, I resolved to free it from the abuses which have crept in either through ill-advised vanity on the part of singers or through excessive complaisance on the part of the composers. I sought to restrict the music to its true purpose of giving expression to the poetry, and to strengthen the dramatic situations without interrupting the action or hampering it with unnecessary ornamentations.' The editors provide notes on the Dramatis Personae, a biographical introduction and a foreword describing their own fascinating experiences in compiling the book since they started their quest as early as 1913." --Dust jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eighteenth-century French cultural life was often characterised by quarrels, and the arrival of Viennese composer Christoph Willibald Gluck in Paris in 1774 was no exception, sparking a five-year pamphlet and press controversy which featured a rival Neapolitan composer, Niccolo Piccinni. However, as this study shows, the Gluck-Piccinni controversy was about far more than which composer was better suited to lead French operatic reform. A consideration of cultural politics in 1770s Paris shows that a range of issues were at stake: court versus urban taste as the proper judge of music, whether amateurs or specialists should have the right to speak of opera, whether the epic or the tragic mode is more suited for drama reform, and even: why should the public argue about opera at all? Mark Darlow is Senior Lecturer in French at the University of Cambridge."

This book was released on 1988-05-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume One is the first of a projected twelve-volume edition of Burney's early journals and letters and covers the years 1768-73. This edition reproduces her earliest journals in their original form, replacing omitted and altered passages. It shows her development as an artist and contains typically vivid sketches of her family, friends, and acquaintances in London and the country. Further volumes will cover the so-called "Streatham Years" (1778-86, 4 vols.) and "Court Years" (1786-91, 6 vols.). These will carry her through the period of her greatest fame as the author of the novels Evelina (1778) and Cecilia (1782), and will end with her exit from the Court of King George III and Queen Charlotte after five exhausting years of service to the Queen as Second Keeper of the Robes. Eighteenth-century scholars generally regard Fanny's early journals as her freshest and most appealing. This edition complements Joyce Hemlow's Oxford edition of Burney's letters and journals from 1791 to 1840 (12 vols., Oxford, 1972-84). While the early journals have been printed before, Lars Troide's edition will provide the first full text of Fanny's early journals, accompanied by thorough and accurate annotations which fully explicate the context in which the journals were written.
