Book Synopsis The Unique Book Of Music And Line Of Resistance by : Gilbert Wombles
Download or read book The Unique Book Of Music And Line Of Resistance written by Gilbert Wombles and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compilation of university and public lectures by an enduring artist appreciated, still, for his musical intelligence and artistry. As a performer, he can be counted among a select few. As a highly intelligent and discerning commentator on the music world...well, he is a little less on solid ground. The trick to appreciating the genuine value in his comments is for the reader to set aside his/her current cultural attitudes as well as Schnabel's. Sometimes he sounds as though he is merely reflecting the Haut bourgeoise prejudices he learned in the masterclasses and salons of fin de siecle Vienna and a burgeoning Berlin. This unique book, also containing never before published the 1949 Harvard Lectures, is Schnabel's last foray into public discourse and represents his most mature view of music and its function in society at large. It highlights the importance of understanding tradition and highlights the profound impact Artur Schnabel had, both as a performer and teacher upon the future.

Book Synopsis Resistance and the Practice of Rationality by : Martin W. Bauer
Download or read book Resistance and the Practice of Rationality written by Martin W. Bauer and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resistance used to mean irrational and reactionary behaviour, assuming that rationality resides on the side of progress and its parties. The end of the Cold War allows us to drop ideological and prejudicial analysis. Indeed, we recognise that resistance is a historical constant, and its relation to rationality or irrationality is not predetermined. This volume asks: to what extent are social scientific conceptions of ‘resistances’ sui generis, or borrowed from natural sciences by metaphor and analogy? To what extent do the social sciences continue to be a ‘social tribology’ lubricating a process of strategic changes? Fifteen authors explore these questions from the point of view of different disciplines including physics, biology, social psychology, history of science, history of medicine, legal theory, political science, history, police studies, psychotherapy research and art theory. The book offers a unique panorama of concepts of ‘resistance’ and examines the potential of a general ‘resistology’ across diverse practices of rationality.

Download or read book Music, Sense and Nonsense written by Alfred Brendel and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Brendel, one of the greatest pianists of our time, is renowned for his masterly interpretations of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt, and has been credited with rescuing from oblivion the piano music of Schubert's last years. Far from having merely one string to his bow, however, Brendel is also one of the world's most remarkable writers on music - possessed of the rare ability to bring the clarity and originality of expression that characterised his performances to the printed page. The definitive collection of his award-winning writings and essays, Music, Sense and Nonsense combines all of his work originally published in his two classic books, Musical Thoughts and Afterthoughts and Music Sounded Out, along with significant new material on a lifetime of recording, performance habits and reflections on life and art. As well as providing stimulating reading, this new edition provides a unique insight into the exceptional mind of one of the outstanding musicians of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Whether discussing Bach or Beethoven, Schubert or Schoenberg, Brendel's reflections are illuminating and challenging, a treasure for the specialist and the music lover alike.

Book Synopsis Music Theory in Ethnomusicology by : Stephen Blum
Download or read book Music Theory in Ethnomusicology written by Stephen Blum and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1960s and 70s some ethnomusicologists formed relationships with music-makers and ritual specialists in an attempt to interpret how they understood their musical actions. Subsequently ethnomusicologists have studied the respects in which explicit and implicit theory is involved in communication of musical knowledge. They have observed the production of music theory in institutions of modern nation-states and have sought out groups and individuals whose theorizing is not constrained by existing institutions. They are assessing the extent to which musical terminologies of diverse languages can be interpreted in relation to general concepts without imposing the assumptions and biases of one body of existing theory. That exercise is increasingly recognized as a necessary effort of decolonization. A thorough yet concise introduction to this field, Music Theory in Ethnomusicology outlines a conception of music theory suited to cross-cultural research on musical practices.
Book Synopsis Wallace Stevens and the Limits of Reading and Writing by : Bart Eeckhout
Download or read book Wallace Stevens and the Limits of Reading and Writing written by Bart Eeckhout and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often considered America's greatest twentieth-century poet, Wallace Stevens is without a doubt the Anglo-modernist poet whose work has been most scrutinized from a philosophical perspective. Wallace Stevens and the Limits of Reading and Writing both synthesizes and extends the critical understanding of Stevens's poetry in this respect. Arguing that a concern with the establishment and transgression of limits goes to the heart of this poet's work, Bart Eeckhout traces both the limits of Stevens's poetry and the limits of writing as they are explored by that poetry. Stevens's work has been interpreted so variously and contradictorily that critics must first address the question of limits to the poetry's signifying potential before they can attempt to deepen our appreciation of it. In the first half of this book, the limits of appropriating and contextualizing Stevens's "The Snow Man," in particular, are investigated. Eeckhout does not undertake this reading with the negative purpose of disputing earlier interpretations but with the more positive intention of identifying the intrinsic qualities of the poetry that have been responsible for the remarkable amount of critical attention it has received.

Book Synopsis Music Quickens Time by : Daniel Barenboim
Download or read book Music Quickens Time written by Daniel Barenboim and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2009-09-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this eloquent book, Daniel Barenboim draws on his profound and uniquely influential engagement with music to argue for its central importance in our everyday lives. While we may sometimes think of personal, social and political issues as existing independently of each other, Barenboim shows how music teaches that this is impossible. Turning to his intense involvement with Palestine, he examines the transformative power of music in the world, from his own performances of Wagner in Israel and his foundation, with Edward Said, of the internationally acclaimed West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. Music Quickens Time reveals how the sheer power and eloquence of music offers us a way to explore and shed light on the way in which we live, and to illuminate and resolve some of the most intractable issues of our time.

Book Synopsis Exploring Virtuosities. Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst, Nineteenth-Century Musical Practices and Beyond by : Christine Hoppe
Download or read book Exploring Virtuosities. Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst, Nineteenth-Century Musical Practices and Beyond written by Christine Hoppe and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, musicological interest in both the composing virtuoso of the nineteenth century and the phenomenon of virtuosity has increased. Moving beyond approaches to music solely in terms of works allowed for a range of perspectives on concepts of virtuosity to emerge. Such cultural theory-based approaches crucially put the traditional musicological image of the virtuoso into a broader context. Recent advances in performance studies, furthermore, emphasise the need to include factors such as staging, the audience, sound and space, and musical practices, in our understanding of the complex phenomenon of virtuosity. The present volume tries to meet the challenges raised by these multi-layered perspectives by varying the foci on virtuosity – from specific attention to individual virtuosi and considerations of virtuosity’s historical and social context to broader questions regarding innovations in the current landscape and future virtuoso phenomena. The broad range of topics centres on the composer and virtuoso Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst and his immediate sphere of influence. The contributions in the present volume not only reveal the complexity of the research field of virtuosity but also liberate Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst from the shadow of fixed, mainly non-musical, discourses on virtuosity around Paganini. The enclosed CD with recordings by Guillaume Tardif, Philippe Borer, Clive Brown and Friederike Spangenberg enriches these texts by including the dimension of sound.
