Book Synopsis Chopin 1849/1999 by : Andreas Ballstaedt
Download or read book Chopin 1849/1999 written by Andreas Ballstaedt and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chopins selbst hat sich zeit seines Lebens kaum zu seiner Musik geäußert, er vertraute ihrer eigenen Sprachkraft. Dadurch wurden seine Werke zu einer idealen Projektionsfläche für die unterschiedlichsten Bedürfnisse, Erwartungen, Anschauungen und Sehnsüchte - damals wie heute. Während im Vordergrund des musikwissenschaftlichen Interesses bisher vor allem die Analyse seiner Musik und die Auseinandersetzung mit der verbalen Rezeption stand, umkreisen die Beiträge des Bandes bisher weniger beachtete Aspekte. Zum einen werden Fragen der Aufführungspraxis und -tradition sowie der Interpretationsgeschichte behandelt: angefangen von Chopins eigenem Spiel und dessen Wirkungen in der Öffentlichkeit über Rezeptionsstereotypen, welche die Repertoireauswahl mitbestimmten, bis hin zur Bedeutung der vielen Tonaufnahmen, die es seit der Jahrhundertwende von seinen Werken gibt. Zum anderen werden Fragen des musikalischen Umgangs mit Chopins uvre diskutiert: von den vielfältigen Bearbeitungen und Verwendungsmöglichkeiten seiner Musik bis hin zu kompositorischen Anknüpfungen.

Book Synopsis The Parisian Worlds of Frédéric Chopin by : William G. Atwood
Download or read book The Parisian Worlds of Frédéric Chopin written by William G. Atwood and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1831, Chopin stopped in Paris on his way to London, fleeing his native Warsaw after Russia's brutal repression of an insurrection there. Entranced by the lively social and artistic scene in the city, the musician remained there until his death in 1849. In this engaging book, William Atwood recreates the Paris that Chopin knew, providing vivid details about its places, people, and politics, and showing how these affected the sensitive musician during an enormously fruitful period in his career. Drawing on many contemporary sources, Atwood brings to life the musicians, writers, artists, courtesans, salon hostesses, politicians, doctors, businessmen, and messianic Polish emigres who lived in Paris. He describes the theaters, music halls, and salons of Paris as well as its less glamorous worlds filled with the political conflicts and economic fluctuations of the July Monarchy. He tells about the city's newly awakened social consciousness and the philosophers and writers (including George Sand) who fostered it. The book sheds brilliant new light on both Paris and Chopin and will be delightful reading for lovers of the city or the musician.
Download or read book Chopin in Paris written by Tad Szulc and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-03-12 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chopin in Paris introduces the most important musical and literary figures of Fryderyk Chopin's day in a glittering story of the Romantic era. During Chopin's eighteen years in Paris, lasting nearly half his short life, he shone at the center of the immensely talented artists who were defining their time -- Hugo, Balzac, Stendhal, Delacroix, Liszt, Berlioz, and, of course, George Sand, a rebel feminist writer who became Chopin's lover and protector. Tad Szulc, the author of Fidel and Pope John Paul II, approaches his subject with imagination and insight, drawing extensively on diaries, memoirs, correspondence, and the composer's own journal, portions of which appear here for the first time in English. He uses contemporary sources to chronicle Chopin's meteoric rise in his native Poland, an ascent that had brought him to play before the reigning Russian grand duke at the age of eight. He left his homeland when he was eighteen, just before Warsaw's patriotic uprising was crushed by the tsar's armies. Carrying the memories of Poland and its folk music that would later surface in his polonaises and mazurkas, Chopin traveled to Vienna. There he established his reputation in the most demanding city of Europe. But Chopin soon left for Paris, where his extraordinary creative powers would come to fruition amid the revolutions roiling much of Europe. He quickly gained fame and a circle of powerful friends and acquaintances ranging from Rothschild, the banker, to Karl Marx. Distinguished by his fastidious dress and the wracking cough that would cut short his life, Chopin spent his days composing and giving piano lessons to a select group of students. His evenings were spent at the keyboard, playing for his friends. It was at one of these Chopin gatherings that he met George Sand, nine years his senior. Through their long and often stormy relationship, Chopin enjoyed his richest creative period. As she wrote dozens of novels, he composed furiously -- both were compulsive creators. After their affair unraveled, Chopin became the protégé of Jane Stirling, a wealthy Scotswoman, who paraded him in his final year across England and Scotland to play for the aristocracy and even Queen Victoria. In 1849, at the age of thirty-nine, Chopin succumbed to the tuberculosis that had plagued him from childhood. Chopin in Paris is an illuminating biography of a tragic figure who was one of the most important composers of all time. Szulc brings to life the complex, contradictory genius whose works will live forever. It is compelling reading about an exciting epoch of European history, culture, and music -- and about one of the great love dramas of the nineteenth century.
Book Synopsis The Virtuoso as Subject by : Zarko Cvejić
Download or read book The Virtuoso as Subject written by Zarko Cvejić and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a novel interpretation of the sudden and steep decline of instrumental virtuosity in its critical reception between c. 1815 and c. 1850, documenting it with a large number of examples from Europe’s leading music periodicals at the time. The increasingly hostile critical reception of instrumental virtuosity during this period is interpreted from the perspective of contemporary aesthetics and philosophical conceptions of human subjectivity; the book’s main thesis is that virtuosity qua irreducibly bodily performance generated so much hostility because it was deemed incompatible with, and even threatening to, the new Romantic philosophical conception of music as a radically disembodied, abstract, autonomous art and, moreover, a symbol or model – if only a utopian one – of a similarly autonomous and free human subject, whose freedom and autonomy seemed increasingly untenable in the economic and political context of post-Napoleonic Europe. That is why music, newly reconceived as radically abstract and autonomous, plays such an important part in the philosophy of early German Romantics such as E. T. A. Hoffmann, Schelling, and Schopenhauer, with their growing misgivings about the very possibility of human freedom, and not so much in the preceding generation of thinkers, such as Kant and Hegel, who still believed in the (transcendentally) free subject of the Enlightenment. For the early German Romantics, music becomes a model of human freedom, if freedom could exist. By contrast, virtuosity, irredeemably moored in the perishable human body, ephemeral, and beholden to such base motives as making money and gaining fame, is not only incompatible with music thus conceived, but also threatens to expose it as an illusion, in other words, as irreducibly corporeal, and, by extension, the human subject it was meant to symbolise as likewise an illusion. Only with that in mind, may we begin to understand the hostility of some early to mid-19th-century critics to instrumental virtuosity, which sometimes reached truly bizarre proportions. In order to accomplish this, the book looks at contemporary aesthetics and philosophy, the contemporary reception of virtuosity in performance and composition, and the impact of 19th-century gender ideology on the reception of some leading virtuosi, male and female alike.
Book Synopsis Gabriel Faure by : Edward R. Phillips
Download or read book Gabriel Faure written by Edward R. Phillips and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2011, this research study includes a biography section as well as the works of Gabriel Urbain Fauré born on 12 May 1845. Much of Fauré’s music, especially the late pieces, remain little played and little known—as a result, his reputation as a salon composer of pleasant music continues even among educated musicians. The author suggests that it is more likely that the difficulty of much of Fauré’s music for the listener and the demands it places upon him or her are the principal reasons for its omission from concert programs and for a misunderstanding of Fauré’s place in the history of French music
Book Synopsis Schenkerian Analysis - Analyse nach Heinrich Schenker by : Oliver Schwab-Felisch
Download or read book Schenkerian Analysis - Analyse nach Heinrich Schenker written by Oliver Schwab-Felisch and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2021 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dass Heinrich Schenker zu einem der meistdiskutierten Musiktheoretiker des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde, hat im Wesentlichen zwei Gründe: Erstens ermöglicht seine Theorie ebenso vielschichtige wie konsistente Beschreibungen der Stimmführung, Harmonik und Syntax tonaler Werke. Und zweitens fand Schenkers ?Schichtenlehre? in den USA, wohin die meisten Schüler Schenkers nach 1933 emigriert waren, ideale Bedingungen vor - Bedingungen, die sie rasch zur führenden Theorie tonaler Musik aufsteigen ließen. In Österreich, Deutschland und der Schweiz nahm die Schenker-Rezeption vorerst einen anderen Weg: Bis zur Jahrtausendwende blieb Schenkers Theorie Sache weniger Spezialisten. Seither aber stößt sie auch im deutschsprachigen Raum auf wachsendes Interesse. Der vorliegende deutsch-englische Sammelband trägt zur Schenker-Forschung beider Sprachräume und Wissenschaftskulturen bei. Er untersucht theoriegeschichtliche Fragen, beleuchtet unerforschte Aspekte der Schenker-Theorie und erschließt zahlreiche ihrer wissenschaftstheoretischen, rezeptionshistorischen und musikästhetischen Implikationen. Häufig geht er dabei über Schenker hinaus - durch neue Vorstellungen von Rhythmik und Metrik, Bezüge zur Systemtheorie Niklas Luhmanns oder pluralistische Theoriekonzepte. Der separate Notenband enthält analytische Graphiken ebenso wie originale Notentexte. Online abrufbare Hörbeispiele verdeutlichen, wie sich unterschiedliche analytische Interpretationen auf musikalische Aufführungen auswirken können. Glossar und Register schließlich erleichtern vertiefte Lektüren entlang gezielter Fragestellungen. Ein grundlegendes Studienbuch, das Musiktheoretiker:innen wie Interpret:innen zahlreiche Möglichkeiten aufzeigt, sich von Schenkers Denken anregen zu lassen.

Download or read book Chopin's Funeral written by Benita Eisler and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frédéric Chopin’s reputation as one of the Great Romantics endures, but as Benita Eisler reveals in her elegant and elegiac biography, the man was more complicated than his iconic image. A classicist, conservative, and dandy who relished his conquest of Parisian society, the Polish émigré was for a while blessed with genius, acclaim, and the love of Europe’s most infamous woman writer, George Sand. But by the age of 39, the man whose brilliant compositions had thrilled audiences in the most fashionable salons lay dying of consumption, penniless and abandoned by his lover. In the fall of 1849, his lavish funeral was attended by thousands—but not by George Sand. In this intimate portrait of an embattled man, Eisler tells the story of a turbulent love affair, of pain and loss redeemed by art, and of worlds—both private and public—convulsed by momentous change.

This year the Spink Maury Catalogue, heir to the prestigious Maury, Ceres and Dallay catalogues, continues its work of research, compiled over generations of philately. It covers all French stamps from 1849 to the present day, offering hundreds of changes – with oddities, new varieties and discoveries presented, as always, in an exceptional way. Included in the new material is the continuation of the monographic studies, presenting a stamp per page with all varieties known until the First World War; a redesign of types Merson and Pasteur; and a specialised part devoted to Marianne de Beaujard, reviewed in depth. In addition the section on current usage stamps (TUC) is fully updated following feedback from our contributors and readers. France has one of the most beautiful philatelic legacies in the world, and we are pleased to be its modest ambassador to the numerous international readers who join us each year. “Layout and coverage are sumptuous … The trite phrase “mine of information” does not begin to do justice to this immense achievement. To any collector of France beyond the elementary stage, this would be a bargain at twice the official retail price … Highly recommended. ….an absolute must for collectors of French stamps…” Michael Round, Journal of the France & Colonies Philatelic Society
