Book Synopsis Bartók and the Grotesque by : Julie A. Brown
Download or read book Bartók and the Grotesque written by Julie A. Brown and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bluebeard's Castle (1911), The Wooden Prince (1916/17), The Miraculous Mandarin (1919/24, rev. 1931) and Cantata Profana (1930), Bartók engaged scenarios featuring either overtly grotesque bodies or closely related transformations and violations of the body. In this book, Julie Brown argues that Bartók's concerns with stylistic hybridity (high-low, East-West, tonal-atonal-modal), the body, and the grotesque are inter-connected. All three were thoroughly implicated in cultural constructions of the Modern during the period in which Bartók was composing.

Book excerpt: The grotesque is one of art's most puzzling figures - transgressive, comprising an unresolveable hybrid, generally focussing on the human body, full of hyperbole, and ultimately semantically deeply puzzling. In Bluebeard's Castle (1911), The Wooden Prince (1916/17), The Miraculous Mandarin (1919/24, rev. 1931) and Cantata Profana (1930), Bart ngaged scenarios featuring either overtly grotesque bodies or closely related transformations and violations of the body. In a number of instrumental works he also overtly engaged grotesque satirical strategies, sometimes - as in Two Portraits: 'Ideal' and 'Grotesque' - indicating this in the title. In this book, Julie Brown argues that Bart concerns with stylistic hybridity (high-low, East-West, tonal-atonal-modal), the body, and the grotesque are inter-connected. While Bart eveloped each interest in highly individual ways, and did so separately to a considerable extent, the three concerns remained conceptually interlinked. All three were thoroughly implicated in cultural constructions of the Modern during the period in which Bart as composing.

Book Synopsis Les grotesques de la musique by : Hector Berlioz
Download or read book Les grotesques de la musique written by Hector Berlioz and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Grotesques de la musique est constitué d'un choix de textes de Berlioz (1803-1869) rassemblés par lui-même. Si ce volume est imprégné d'un fervent amour de la musique, c'est pourtant l'ironie du texte qui frappe. Critiques, musiciens, spectateurs, directeurs de salles : nul n'est épargné par la plume espiègle du compositeur. Les Grotesques de la musique constitue une grande et terrible satire du milieu musical. Pour constituer le volume des Grotesques de la musique, Berlioz adopte le même principe que pour Les Soirées de l'orchestre : les trois premiers quarts reprennent le contenu d'articles parus dans le Journal des débats, le dernier quart de la Revue et gazette musicale, en apportant certaines modifications au texte original, ainsi que des corrections et additions. Les Soirées de l'orchestre étaient dédiées « à mes bons amis les artistes de l'orchestre de X***, ville civilisée », que l'on interprète généralement comme « septentrionale ». Le nouvel ouvrage est donc dédié « à mes bons amis les artistes des choeurs de l'Opéra de Paris, ville barbare ». Préparés à partir du mois de janvier 1859, Les Grotesques de la musique sont publiés vers le 8 mars 1859, et rencontrent un grand succès public et critique, « paradoxalement du reste car, pour la plupart des mélomanes, sa prose était aussi plaisante à lire que sa musique difficile à écouter1 ». Selon Gérard Condé, « on ignore l'importance du premier tirage des Grotesques ; on sait seulement qu'il s'en vendit 5 000 exemplaires entre 1871 et 1933, et qu'un édition allemande parut en 1864 ». L'édition originale de 1859 demeure cependant la seule publiée du vivant de son auteur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Travers Chants is the collection of writings selected from his thirty-odd years of musical journalism. These essays cover a wide spectrum of intellectual inquiry: Beethoven's nine symphonies and his opera, Fidelio; Wagner and the partisans of the "Music of the Future"; Berlioz's idols - Gluck, Weber, and Mozart.

Book Synopsis Translating Irony by : Katrien Lievois
Download or read book Translating Irony written by Katrien Lievois and published by ASP / VUBPRESS / UPA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irony is a salient feature of common discourse and of some of contemporary art's more sophisticated representations. An intriguing characteristic of art and speech, irony's power and relevance reaches well beyond the enclaves of academic research and reflection. Translating irony involves a series of interpretative gestures which are not solely provoked by or confined to the act of translation as such. Even when one does not move between languages, reading irony always involves an act of interpretation which 'translates' a meaning out of a text that is not 'given'. The case studies and in depth analyses in "Translating irony" aim to monitor and explain the techniques and challenges involved in the translation of irony.

Book Synopsis Female Singers on the French Stage, 1830–1848 by : Kimberly White
Download or read book Female Singers on the French Stage, 1830–1848 written by Kimberly White and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of singers' art has emerged as a prominent area of inquiry within musicology in recent years. Female Singers on the French Stage, 1830–1848 shifts the focus from the artwork onstage to the labour that went on behind the scenes. Through extensive analysis of primary source documents, Kimberly White explores the profession of singing, operatic culture, and the representation of female performers on the French stage between 1830 and 1848, and reveals new perspectives on the social, economic, and cultural status of these women. The book attempts to reconstruct and clarify contemporary practices of the singer at work, including vocal training, débuts, rehearsals and performance schedules, touring, benefit concerts, and retirement, as well as the strategies utilized in publicity and image making. Dozens of case studies, many compiled from singers' correspondence and archival papers, shed light on the performers' successes and struggles at a time when Paris was the operatic centre of Europe.
