Book Synopsis Crescendo of the Virtuoso by : Paul Metzner
Download or read book Crescendo of the Virtuoso written by Paul Metzner and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Age of Revolution, Paris came alive with wildly popular virtuoso performances. Whether the performers were musicians or chefs, chess players or detectives, these virtuosos transformed their technical skills into dramatic spectacles, presenting the marvelous and the outré for spellbound audiences. Who these characters were, how they attained their fame, and why Paris became the focal point of their activities is the subject of Paul Metzner's absorbing study. Covering the years 1775 to 1850, Metzner describes the careers of a handful of virtuosos: chess masters who played several games at once; a chef who sculpted hundreds of four-foot-tall architectural fantasies in sugar; the first police detective, whose memoirs inspired the invention of the detective story; a violinist who played whole pieces on a single string. He examines these virtuosos as a group in the context of the society that was then the capital of Western civilization. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Book Synopsis Music Drama at the Paris Odéon, 1824–1828 by : Mark Everist
Download or read book Music Drama at the Paris Odéon, 1824–1828 written by Mark Everist and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-12-04 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parisian theatrical, artistic, social, and political life comes alive in Mark Everist's impressive institutional history of the Paris Odéon, an opera house that flourished during the Bourbon Restoration. Everist traces the complete arc of the Odéon's short but highly successful life from ascent to triumph, decline, and closure. He outlines the role it played in expanding operatic repertoire and in changing the face of musical life in Paris. Everist reconstructs the political power structures that controlled the world of Parisian music drama, the internal administration of the theater, and its relationship with composers and librettists, and with the city of Paris itself. His rich depiction of French cultural life and the artistic contexts that allowed the Odéon to flourish highlights the benefit of close and innovative examination of society's institutions.
Book Synopsis Ernest Chausson by : Jean-Pierre Barricelli
Download or read book Ernest Chausson written by Jean-Pierre Barricelli and published by . This book was released on 1955 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the biography of a significant figure in modern music and also the first comprehensive study of the French composer's life and works, some of which - the Poeme, concert, and symphony - have become standard symphonic repertoire, while others - art songs such as Le Temps des Lilas and Le Colibri - are now as well known as those of Schubert, Grieg, and Debussy. Born at the collapse of Wagnerian romanticism, from which he nevertheless inherited a strong lyrical predilection, Chausson became a student of Massenet and then of "le pere Franck," although Chausson's own individuality and original musical idiom did eventually emerge, after a painful struggle with himself, purged of any strong traditional influence. This book reveals also the full story of this much neglected Franck group which began a renaissance in French music, but which has heretofore occupied that musician's limbo inhabited by those who did not produce prodigiously or introduce a new "ism." The book furnishes, too, a glittering glimpse of a nineteenth-century cultural salon at its height, for the generous, wealthy Chaussons entertained regularly such figures as Colette and her husband "Willy" Gauthier-Villars, Manet, Renoir, Degas, and Mallarme, before whom musicians such as Bizet, Ysaye, Faure and Debussy often "previewed" their latest works. The reciprocal influence and affection existing between Chausson and Debussy is seen from the inclusion here of many of their intimate letters, a high point of the book. This account of Chausson's life, presented on the hundredth anniversary of his birth, provides and invaluable aid in the understanding of his music (fully analyzed separately). It also gives a close-up view of many of those artists responsible for making their era one of the most far-reaching and exciting in French intellectual history.

Download or read book Mimomania written by Mary Ann Smart and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2004-03-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Nietzsche dubbed Richard Wagner "the most enthusiastic mimomaniac" ever to exist, he was objecting to a hollowness he felt in the music, a crowding out of any true dramatic impulse by extravagant poses and constant nervous movements. Mary Ann Smart suspects that Nietzsche may have seen and heard more than he realized. In Mimomania she takes his accusation as an invitation to listen to Wagner's music—and that of several of his near-contemporaries—for the way it serves to intensify the visible and the enacted. As Smart demonstrates, this productive fusion of music and movement often arises when music forsakes the autonomy so prized by the Romantics to function mimetically, underlining the sighs of a Bellini heroine, for instance, or the authoritarian footsteps of a Verdi baritone. Mimomania tracks such effects through readings of operas by Auber, Bellini, Meyerbeer, Verdi, and Wagner. Listening for gestural music, we find resemblance in unexpected places: between the overwrought scenes of supplication in French melodrama of the 1820s and a cluster of late Verdi arias that end with the soprano falling to her knees, or between the mute heroine of Auber’s La Muette de Portici and the solemn, almost theological pantomimic tableaux Wagner builds around characters such as Sieglinde or Kundry. Mimomania shows how attention to gesture suggests a new approach to the representation of gender in this repertoire, replacing aural analogies for voyeurism and objectification with a more specifically musical sense of how music can surround, propel, and animate the body on stage.
