Book Synopsis Drama in the Music of Franz Schubert by : Joe Davies

Book excerpt: This book challenges the assumption that Franz Schubert (1797-1828), best known for the lyricism of his songs, symphonies and chamber music, lacked comparable talent for drama. It is commonly assumed that Franz Schubert (1797-1828), best known for the lyricism of his songs, symphonies, and chamber music, lacked comparable talent for drama. Challenging this view, Drama in the Music of Franz Schubert provides a timely re-evaluation of Schubert's operatic works, while demonstrating previously unsuspected locations of dramatic innovation in his vocal and instrumental music. The volume draws on a range of critical approaches and techniques, including semiotics, topic theory, literary criticism, narratology, and Schenkerian analysis, to situate Schubertian drama within its musical and cultural-historical context. In so doing, the study broadens the boundaries of what might be considered 'dramatic' within the composer's music and offers new perspectives for its analysis and interpretation. Drama in the Music of Franz Schubert will be of interest to musicologists, music theorists, composers, and performers, as well as scholars working in cultural studies, theatre, and aesthetics. JOE DAVIES is College Lecturer in Music at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford. JAMES WILLIAM SOBASKIE is Associate Professor of Music at Mississippi State University.

Book Synopsis Schubert's Beethoven Project by : John M. Gingerich
Download or read book Schubert's Beethoven Project written by John M. Gingerich and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why couldn't Schubert get his 'great' C-Major Symphony performed? Why was he the first composer to consistently write four movements for his piano sonatas? Since neither Schubert's nor Beethoven's piano sonatas were ever performed in public, who did hear them? Addressing these questions and many others, John M. Gingerich provides a new understanding of Schubert's career and his relationship to Beethoven. Placing the genres of string quartet, symphony, and piano sonata within the cultural context of the 1820s, the book examines how Schubert was building on Beethoven's legacy. Gingerich brings new understandings of how Schubert tried to shape his career to bear on new hermeneutic readings of the works from 1824 to 1828 that share musical and extra-musical pre-occupations, centering on the 'Death and the Maiden' Quartet and the Cello Quintet, as well as on analyses of the A-minor Quartet, the Octet, and of the 'great' C-Major Symphony.

Book Synopsis The Social Worlds of Nineteenth-Century Chamber Music by : Marie Sumner Lott
Download or read book The Social Worlds of Nineteenth-Century Chamber Music written by Marie Sumner Lott and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music played an important role in the social life of nineteenth-century Europe, and music in the home provided a convenient way to entertain and communicate among friends and colleagues. String chamber music, in particular, fostered social interactions that helped build communities within communities. Marie Sumner Lott examines the music available to musical consumers in the nineteenth century, and what that music tells us about their tastes, priorities, and activities. Her social history of chamber music performance places the works of canonic composers such as Schubert, Brahms, and Dvoøák in relation to lesser-known but influential peers. The book explores the dynamic relationships among the active agents involved in the creation of Romantic music and shows how each influenced the others' choices in a rich, collaborative environment. In addition to documenting the ways companies acquired and marketed sheet music, Sumner Lott reveals how the publication and performance of chamber music differed from that of ephemeral piano and song genres or more monumental orchestral and operatic works. Several distinct niche markets existed within the audience for chamber music, and composers created new musical works for their use and enjoyment. Insightful and groundbreaking, The Social Worlds of Nineteenth-Century Chamber Music revises prevailing views of middle-class influence on nineteenth-century musical style and presents new methods for interpreting the meanings of musical works for musicians both past and present.

Book Synopsis Franz Schubert and His World by : Christopher H. Gibbs
Download or read book Franz Schubert and His World written by Christopher H. Gibbs and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life, times, and music of Franz Schubert During his short lifetime, Franz Schubert (1797–1828) contributed to a wide variety of musical genres, from intimate songs and dances to ambitious chamber pieces, symphonies, and operas. The essays and translated documents in Franz Schubert and His World examine his compositions and ties to the Viennese cultural context, revealing surprising and overlooked aspects of his music. Contributors explore Schubert's youthful participation in the Nonsense Society, his circle of friends, and changing views about the composer during his life and in the century after his death. New insights are offered about the connections between Schubert’s music and the popular theater of the day, his strategies for circumventing censorship, the musical and narrative relationships linking his song settings of poems by Gotthard Ludwig Kosegarten, and musical tributes he composed to commemorate the death of Beethoven just twenty months before his own. The book also includes translations of excerpts from a literary journal produced by Schubert’s classmates and of Franz Liszt’s essay on the opera Alfonso und Estrella. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Leon Botstein, Lisa Feurzeig, John Gingerich, Kristina Muxfeldt, and Rita Steblin.
Book Synopsis Schubert's Winter Journey by : Ian Bostridge
Download or read book Schubert's Winter Journey written by Ian Bostridge and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the world’s most famous and challenging song cycle, Schubert's Winter Journey (Winterreise), by a leading interpreter of the work, who teases out the themes—literary, historical, psychological—that weave through the twenty-four songs that make up this legendary masterpiece. Completed in the last months of the young Schubert’s life, Winterreise has come to be considered the single greatest piece of music in the history of Lieder. Deceptively laconic—these twenty-four short poems set to music for voice and piano are performed uninterrupted in little more than an hour—it nonetheless has an emotional depth and power that no music of its kind has ever equaled. A young man, rejected by his beloved, leaves the house where he has been living and walks out into snow and darkness. As he wanders away from the village and into the empty countryside, he experiences a cascade of emotions—loss, grief, anger, and acute loneliness, shot through with only fleeting moments of hope—until the landscape he inhabits becomes one of alienation and despair. Originally intended to be sung to an intimate gathering, performances of Winterreise now pack the greatest concert halls around the world. Drawing equally on his vast experience performing this work (he has sung it more than one hundred times), on his musical knowledge, and on his training as a scholar, Bostridge teases out the enigmas and subtle meanings of each of the twenty-four lyrics to explore for us the world Schubert inhabited, his biography and psychological makeup, the historical and political pressures within which he became one of the world’s greatest composers, and the continuing resonances and affinities that our ears still detect today, making Schubert’s wanderer our mirror.
Download or read book Ensemble! written by Abram Loft and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As performer, coach, teacher, scholar, and author, Abram Loft has devoted himself to chamber music for almost half a century. In this useful and diverting book, he draws on his vast experience to guide the reader through thirty compositions, from piano trio to string sextet, from Haydn to Britten. The treatment by this master teacher is both detailed and serious, but far from solemn. Bowings, fingerings, tone color, dynamics, tempo, balance, rubato, phrasing, repeats--these are among the many facets of rehearsal and performance that Loft touches on in his discussions. He relates every element to the movement at hand, and to the musical logic of the composition as a whole. He lets us know when to heat up the melody, and when to exit laughing. He draws us into the composer's perspective and attunes us to the significant musical events as they unfold. His enjoyment and respect for the work are evident. And always there is the good-humored understanding that his own approach--highly informed though it is--is but one among a number of possible concepts. His aim is to encourage each ensemble to arrive at its own thoughtful interpretation of the composition under study. Ensemble! speaks to the professionally oriented group, the serious student ensemble, and the amateur enthusiast of chamber music. This book can supplement the advice and observation of the live instructor and also serve as a surrogate coach and tutor. Ensemble! guides the reader through the challenges and around the pitfalls of a most demanding pursuit: the playing of fine chamber music. Convincing and confident performance is the attainable goal.
