Book Synopsis Lutoslawski and His Music by : Steven Stucky
Download or read book Lutoslawski and His Music written by Steven Stucky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-06-11 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The composer Witold Lutostawski (born 1913) is one of the outstanding musical personalities of the twentieth century. In this critical biography Steven Stucky traces Lutostawski's development from the Stravinsky-influenced music of his student days to his emergence in the 1960s as a leading avant-gardist. Since the vicissitudes of cultural life in his native Poland have profoundly affected the composer's career, the book includes detailed accounts of Lutostawski's official censure for 'formalism' in the late 1940s and the leading role he later played in a flourishing Polish modernist movement. Both well-known works, such as the Concerto for Orchestra, Trois poemes d'Henri Michaux and the Second Symphony, and the lesser-known early music are considered in detail. Fragments of many compositions never before published in the West are included. There are also analytical summaries of each major work from Jeux véitiens (1961) to Mi-parti (1976).

Book Synopsis Music and the Crises of the Modern Subject by : Michael L. Klein
Download or read book Music and the Crises of the Modern Subject written by Michael L. Klein and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Departing from the traditional German school of music theorists, Michael Klein injects a unique French critical theory perspective into the framework of music and meaning. Using primarily Lacanian notions of the symptom, that unnamable jouissance located in the unconscious, and the registers of subjectivity (the Imaginary, the Symbolic Order, and the Real), Klein explores how we understand music as both an artistic form created by "the subject" and an artistic expression of a culture that imposes its history on this modern subject. By creatively navigating from critical theory to music, film, fiction, and back to music, Klein distills the kinds of meaning that we have been missing when we perform, listen to, think about, and write about music without the insights of Lacan and others into formulations of modern subjectivity.

Download or read book Lutosławski written by Witold Lutosławski and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the first to be published in English about Witold Lutosławski and his music. A documentary illustration of his creative world up to the present day has seemed to be more important than a technical and stylistical analysis. For this reason the book consists chiefly of notes and commentaries on his works, most of which have been written by the composer himself. The book also contains 42 pages of musical examples and the complete song texts to 'Five songs', 'Trois Poèmes d'Henri Michaux' and 'Paroles tissées'. The catalogues of works are an attempt to collect all available information about his compositions in a chronological and systematic way and have been completed in close co-operation with the composer."--Back cover.
