Book Synopsis Mendelssohn, Time and Memory by : Benedict Taylor
Download or read book Mendelssohn, Time and Memory written by Benedict Taylor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Felix Mendelssohn has long been viewed as one of the most historically minded composers in western music. This book explores the conceptions of time, memory and history found in his instrumental compositions, presenting an intriguing new perspective on his ever-popular music. Focusing on Mendelssohn's innovative development of cyclic form, Taylor investigates how the composer was influenced by the aesthetic and philosophical movements of the period. This is of key importance not only for reconsideration of Mendelssohn's work and its position in nineteenth-century culture, but also more generally concerning the relationship between music, time and subjectivity. One of very few detailed accounts of Mendelssohn's music, the study presents a new and provocative reading of the meaning of the composer's work by connecting it to wider cultural and philosophical ideas.

Download or read book Rethinking Mendelssohn written by Benedict Taylor Ph.D. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the foremost composers, conductors, and pianists of the nineteenth century, Felix Mendelssohn played a fundamental role in the shaping of modern musical tastes through his contributions to the early music revival and the formation of the Austro-German musical canon. His career allows for a remarkable meeting point for critical engagement with a host of crucial issues in the last two centuries of music history, including the relation between musical meaning and social function, programmatic and absolute music, notions of classicism and Romanticism, modernism and historicism. It also serves as a pertinent case-study of the roles political ideology, racism, and musical ignorance may play in creating and perpetuating a composer's posthumous reception. Fittingly, Rethinking Mendelssohn focuses on critical engagement with the composer's music and aesthetics, and on the interpretation of his works in relation to contemporaneous culture. Building on the renaissance in Mendelssohn scholarship of the last two decades, Rethinking Mendelssohn sets a fresh and exciting tone for research on the composer. Opening new ways of understanding Mendelssohn and setting the future direction of Mendelssohn studies, the contributing scholars pay particular attention to Mendelssohn's contested views on the relationship between art and religion, analysis of Mendelssohn's instrumental music in the wake of recent controversies in Formenlehre, and the burgeoning interest in his previously neglected contribution to the German song.

This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Size: 8 1/2 x 11" * * * * * * From the introductory: AN APPRECIATION FELIX MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY (1809-1847) is usually regarded as belonging to that Romantic School or period in musical history in which the names of Schumann and Chopin are of similar prominence. This customary classification of Mendelssohn, however, is not altogether just, inasmuch as it applies to one side only in the wide compass of his musical personality, and not even to its strongest side, for it emphasizes unduly that romanticism which was only an incidental feature in his many-sided genius. The classification is somewhat unjust to Mendelssohn's other and far more pronounced characteristics; especially to those which so markedly differentiate him from his great contemporaries and which entitle him to be regarded as a "Classic-Romantic'* -- in fact, the Classic- Romantic. While he could not -- and evidently had no desire to -- keep altogether aloof from the strong wave of romanticism that swept over Germany at the beginning of the nineteenth century, he came within its range only occasionally: when the text of a song called for it or the drama which he either introduced or enlivened with his music. Thus we find him almost transcendentally romantic in some of his Overtures (Fingal's Cave, Hebrides), also in his '*Walpurgis Night," and above all in his music to Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream," the elf-like texture and fairy-tale mood of which frequently -- but also plainly -- recur in some of his piano compositions (Scherzo a capriccio, Rondo capriccioso, and others). And yet, when we enquire into the tendencies which were predominantly sympathetic to him and which he championed with all the strength of his personality, position and influence, we find them linked with the names of Bach and Beethoven. These were the masters for whose works he acted as an enthusiastic and energetic propagandist; it was their purity of form, their clarity of thought which impressed him far more strongly than the mysticism and fancy of the Romantics. With the farseeing' eye of a divinely appointed prophet he perceived that these masters had spoken not for their time only but for all times, that their fundamentality would outlast every transient fashion; and it was in their path rather than with the Romantics that his genius compelled him to pursue his way. That his works had lately to suffer somewhat from neglect is undoubtedly due to his so-called "followers," who -- as usual with Epigones -- had caught only the external qualities of his work (form, manner of workmanship, etc.), without its delightful and refined spirit; who imitated rather than followed him and who, by aping his style and by diluting his fine spirituality into a platitudinous conventionality, have wearied the music-lover. In the same degree, however, as these imitators fall more and more into oblivion (Sterndale Bennett is now completely forgotten), the true genius of their great model breaks forth anew in unimpeded light and reasserts it's great, masterly qualities....

Book Synopsis Die erste Walpurgisnacht by : Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
Download or read book Die erste Walpurgisnacht written by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and published by A-R Editions, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: N49P Piano-vocal score (2008) xiv + 118 pp. $55.00 The first version of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's secular cantata Die erste Walpurgisnacht (The First Walpurgis Night) was composed during the last years of the composer's decade-long friendship with the work's poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It was premiered less than a year after Goethe's death, but despite his enthusiasm for the work Mendelssohn was unable to return to it as a publication project for several years. He did finally revise and publish it in 1842-44, and in that guise it won considerable acclaim, but by then Mendelssohn's professional standing had changed significantly, and so had the work itself. This edition represents the first publication of the young and unestablished Mendelssohn's early setting af Goethe's provocative ballad concerning the eighth-century conflict between paganism and Christianity in Germany. The work is masterful in its own right, and the similarities and differences between it and the later version offer telling insights into Mendelssohn's compositional development. The piano-vocal score incorporates Mendelssohn's own manuscript of a four-hand arrangement of the orchestral introduction.

Book Synopsis Listening to Mendelssohn by : David Hurwitz
Download or read book Listening to Mendelssohn written by David Hurwitz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest musical prodigy since Mozart (some would say he was even greater), Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847) excelled in everything he did, musical or otherwise, and during his brief life became Europe’s most respected and beloved composer. Yet no musician suffered more drastic swings in his posthumous reputation, and as a result Mendelssohn’s music was obscured by a host of extra-musical factors: changes in taste, the rise of nationalism, anti-Semitism, and contempt for Victorian culture. This “owner’s manual” offers a guide to Mendelssohn’s musical output, major and minor, providing points of entry into a large body of work, much of which remains far too little known. There’s much more to Mendelssohn than the “Italian” Symphony and the “Midsummer Night’s Dream” Overture, and a whole creative world of vivid, expressive, and fantastical music is ready for exploration.

Book Synopsis The Mendelssohn Companion by : Douglass Seaton
Download or read book The Mendelssohn Companion written by Douglass Seaton and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 2001-02-28 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mendelssohn Companion represents a collection of advanced scholarly research in Mendelssohn studies that examines the composer's life and music. In recent decades, studies of his music manuscripts have discovered much previously overlooked work, and a reconsideration of his biography has permitted a more realistic portrayal of Mendelssohn. The first three chapters of this volume place the composer in his intellectual context and discuss his family and social circle and his professional activities. Later chapters examine the major areas of his compositional work, providing new analytical observations, contextual perspectives, and interpretations. Historical views and documents are included with each chapter and are all newly translated. The new material in this fully documented study will appeal to scholars, students, and music enthusiasts alike. An updated bibliographic list of Mendelssohn's works, which identifies the autograph manuscripts and the most important published editions will be of special interest.
