Book excerpt: Excerpt from Music and Manners, Vol. 1 of 2: Personal Reminiscences and Sketches of Character The child of musical parents, who taught me to sing before I could speak, and to play before I could spell, I have continually been brought into contact With musicians and music-lovers ever since the days of my early boyhood, and count amongst my dearest friends of the past and present several of the most distin guished votaries of the Divine Art. These facts must serve as my excuse for such cursory mention Of myself, in connection with eminent musical composers and executants, as occurs here and there in the course of these volumes, for the manifold shortcomings and demerits of which I humbly crave my readers' indulgence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “extremely funny” take on the decline of civility, from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of How the Hell Did This Happen? (The Plain Dealer). In Modern Manners, cultural guru P. J. O’Rourke provides the essential accessory for the truly contemporary man or woman—a rulebook for living in a world without rules. Traditionally, good manners were a means of becoming as bland and invisible as everyone else, thus avoiding calling attention to one’s own awkwardness and stupidity. Today, with everyone wanting to appear special, stupidity is at a premium, and manners—as outrageous and bizarre as possible—are a wonderful way to distinguish ourselves, or at least have a fine time trying. This irreverent and hilarious guide to anti-etiquette offers pointed advice on topics from sex and entertaining to reading habits and death. With the most up-to-date forms of vulgarity, churlishness, and presumption, the latest fashions in discourtesy and barbarous display, O’Rourke is our guide to the art of incivility. “Modern Manners is O’Rourke doing what he has always done: making hilarious, insightful, often vicious fun of the world and all its inhabitants.” —People “A reader who rushes through [Modern Manners] from cover to cover—like I did—will feel like a child who has gorged on chocolate cake: happy, but a bit disappointed that it’s all gone. The reason O’Rourke’s book is so successful, however, is not just his great sense of humor. O’Rourke’s writing has a cutting edge behind it, which makes a reader’s laughter just a bit thought-provoking, and just a bit rueful . . . Very funny.” —Chicago Tribune

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Music and Manners, Vol. 2 of 2: Personal Reminiscences and Sketches of Character About as engrossing and intense as may be. Comparing Vienna with other Continental capitals justly renowned for their inhospitality, I am forced to admit that she is as churlish as the worst of them, and a good deal less honest in her churlishness. Let us take Florence, for instance. It is beyond dispute that you may reside in that poco-camm'e city for a dozen years, move in the best society, keep Open house, and even achieve the position of a universal favourite, without ever being asked to dinner by one Of the numerous friends who partake Of your good cheer with affectionate regularity - without penetrating an inch farther into the inner life, the Me z'nzfz'me, of your most frequent Visitor than you did on the day of his first Visit. He calls you thou, speaks Of you as carino, even poverino - if he is really fond Of you - displays a delicate ingenuity in rendering you a thousand little useless services - and, in proportion to the verity of his regard for you, will lend an eager hand to the dissection Of your moral character, or t0' the dis semination amongst your other friends Of a scandalous rumour affecting your solvency, the Virtue Of your wife, or the reputation Of your daughter. A society like that Of Florence is hospitable neither in deed nor in thought; but at least it does not pretend to be so; or, indeed, to be anything in particular, save amusing, free and easy in morals, not manners - for nowhere are the outward forms Of decorum more scrupulously adhered to than in Florence. F irenze la Bella is frankly selfish, unreservedly cynical, and has the courage of its convictions; whereas the upper and middle classes Of Vienna lay claim to all sorts of Old-fashioned Virtues to them verily unknown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by some of the leading scholars in the field looks at various aspects of musical life in eighteenth-century Britain. The significant roles played by institutions such as the Freemasons and foreign embassy chapels in promoting music making and introducing foreign styles to English music are examined, as well as the influence exerted by individuals, both foreign and British. The book covers the spectrum of British music, both sacred and secular, and both cosmopolitan and provincial. In doing so it helps to redress the picture of eighteenth-century British music which has previously portrayed Handel and London as its primary constituents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a significant gap in current scholarship, the fourteen original essays that make up this volume individually and collectively reflect on the relationship between music and Orientalism in the British Empire over the course of the long nineteenth century. The book is in four themed sections. 'Portrayal of the East' traces the routes from encounter to representation and restores the Orient to its rightful place in histories of Orientalism. 'Interpreting Concert Music' looks at one of the principal forms in which Orientalism could be brought to an eager and largely receptive - yet sometimes resistant - mass market. 'Words and Music' investigates the confluence of musical and Orientalist themes in different genres of writing, including criticism, fiction and travel writing. Finally, 'The Orientalist Stage' discusses crucial sites of Orientalist representation - music theatre and opera - as well as tracing similar phenomena in twentieth-century Hindi cinema. These final chapters examine the rendering of the East as 'unachievable and unrecognizable' for the consuming gaze of the western spectator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this book focuses on the once celebrated but now neglected musical journalism of Henry Forthergill Chorley. For nearly forty years he effectively used his acerbic pen and idiosyncratic critical judgments to celebrate the works of Rossini, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Gounod and Sullivan, and to scorn those of Schumann , Verdi and Wagner. This book also discusses his friendships with literary figures such as Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Felicia Hemans, as well as his ongoing efforts to establish himself as a novelist as well as a journalist.
