Tócala otra vez, Bach

Autor: Máximo Pradera

Número de Páginas: 282

Si la música amansa las fieras, la sabihondez musical ablanda los corazones más refractarios a las delicias del amor. Ésa es la tesis de este libro, una obra sin igual en la historia de la autoayuda inconfesable. Máximo Pradera, vihuelista en excedencia y seductor contumaz, nos cuenta aquí los secretos del método que tantos éxitos le ha dado en la palestra del comercio carnal. El señor Pradera es bien conocido por su ingenio, su humor incombustible y su impertinencia, virtudes justamente recompensadas con un regimiento de admiradores y una legión de enemigos acorazados, pero no todo el mundo sabe que también es un experto en seriedades filarmónicas. Aquí, por ejemplo, ilumina el complejo mundo de la música clásica con una excusa pintoresca: suministrar la información necesaria para deslumbrar al objeto de nuestros deseos desplegando una asombrosa montaña de saberes.

Antoine Reicha - Compositeur et théoricien

Autor: Louise Bernard De Raymond , Jean-pierre Bartoli , Herbert Schneider

Número de Páginas: 468

Die Beiträge des ersten internationalen Reicha-Kolloquiums behandeln drei Aspekte des Schaffens Antoine Reichas. Die biographische Sektion beleuchtet anhand bisher unveröffentlichter Dokumente und Archivstücke das Leben des Komponisten in Paris, seine Identität als gelehrter Musiker, seine Rousseau-Rezeption und seine Rolle als Vermittler zwischen deutscher und französischer Musik. Die Untersuchung seines theoretischen Werks befasst sich mit Reichas „Traité de mélodie“ und seinem Periodenbegriff. Sie verfolgt die wechselseitigen Einflüsse zwischen Reicha und Beethoven, die Entwicklung seiner Lehren im Spiegel der Werke seines Schülers Berlioz sowie Reichas Interpretation durch Czerny in der erweiterten bilingualen Edition von Reichas theoretischen Schriften. Im Zentrum der Analysen von Reichas lange vernachlässigtem kompositorischen Schaffen stehen schließlich seine Fantasien, Fugen und Symphonien, sein Variationszyklus op. 57, die große Violin-Sonate, die Klaviertrios, die heute verkannten Opern sowie die Spezifik der Orchestrierung der Totenmesse. Die Beiträge zeigen die enorme Bedeutung des Komponisten und Theoretikers Reicha für die europäische Musik des 19. ...

'Material Delight and the Joy of Living'

Autor: Michael North

Número de Páginas: 318

Eighteenth-century Europe witnessed a commercialization of culture as it became less courtly and more urban. The marketing of culture became separate from the production of culture. New cultural entrepreneurs entered the stage: the impresario, the publisher, the book seller, the art dealer, the auction house, and the reading society served as middlemen between producers and consumers of culture, and constituted at the same time the beginning of a cultural service sector. Cultural consumption also played a substantial role in creating social identity. One could demonstrate social status by attending an auction, watching a play, or listening to a concert. Moreover, and eventually more significant, one could demonstrate connoisseurship and taste, which became important indicators of social standing. The centres of cultural exchange and consumption were initially the great cities of Europe. In the course of the eighteenth century, however, cultural consumption penetrated much deeper, for example into the numerous residential and university towns in Germany, where a growing number of functional elites and burghers met in coffee houses and reading societies, attended the theatre and...

Insulting Music

Autor: Lily E. Hirsch

Número de Páginas: 213

Insulting Music explores insult in and around music and demonstrates that insult is a key dimension of Western musical experience and practice. There is insult in the music we hear, how we express our musical preferences, as well as our reactions to settings and sites of music and music making. More than that, when music and insult overlap, the effects can both promote social justice or undermine it, foster connection or break it apart. The coming together of music and insult shapes our sense of self and view of other people, underlining and constructing difference, often in terms of race and gender. In the last decade, music’s power dynamics have become an increasingly important concern for music scholars, critics, and fans. Studying musicians such as Frank Zappa, Nickleback, Taylor Swift, and the Insane Clown Posse, and musical phenomena such as musician jokes, the use of music to torture people, and the playing of music in restaurants, this book shows the various and contradictory ways insults are used to negotiate those existing dynamics in and around music.

The Recorder

Autor: David Lasocki , Robert Ehrlich , Nikolaj Tarasov

Número de Páginas: 387

The fascinating story of a hugely popular instrument, detailing its rich and varied history from the Middle Ages to the present The recorder is perhaps best known today for its educational role. Although it is frequently regarded as a stepping-stone on the path toward higher musical pursuits, this role is just one recent facet of the recorder’s fascinating history—which spans professional and amateur music-making since the Middle Ages. In this new addition to the Yale Musical Instrument Series, David Lasocki and Robert Ehrlich trace the evolution of the recorder. Emerging from a variety of flutes played by fourteenth-century soldiers, shepherds, and watchmen, the recorder swiftly became an artistic instrument for courtly and city minstrels. Featured in music by the greatest Baroque composers, including Bach and Handel, in the twentieth century it played a vital role in the Early Music Revival and achieved international popularity and notoriety in mass education. Overall, Lasocki and Ehrlich make a case for the recorder being surprisingly present, and significant, throughout Western music history.

Beethoven

Autor: Anne Pimlott Baker

Número de Páginas: 89

Considered by many the world's greatest composer, Ludwig van Beethoven achieved his ambitions against the difficulties of a bullying and drunken father, growing deafness and mounting ill-health. Here, Anne Pimlott Baker tells the story of the German composer's life and work, from his birth in Bonn in 1770 and his early employment as a court musician, to his death in Vienna in 1827. She describes his studies with Haydn in Vienna and his work during the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon. His most financially successful period followed the Congress of Vienna in 1815, despite several unhappy love affairs and continuous worry over his nephew, Karl. Beethoven is a concise, illuminating biography of a true virtuoso.

Experiencing Beethoven

Autor: Geoffrey Block

Número de Páginas: 291

The life and music of Beethoven still fascinate classical music lovers, new and old. His many symphonies, sonatas, concertos, string quartets, and his one opera enchant audiences, challenge performers, engage students, and support scholars in their work. In Experiencing Beethoven, music historian Geoffrey Block explores in layman’s terms a highly representative body of about two dozen Beethoven instrumental and vocal works, offering listeners who know him well, or are just discovering him, an opportunity to grasp the breadth and depth of his musical genius. Designed for those unversed in musical terminology or theory, Experiencing Beethoven places the composer’s works within the evolving context of his personal and professional life and social and cultural milieu. Block sheds light on the public and private audiences of Beethoven’s music, from the concerts for the composer’s own financial benefit to the debut of the “Eroica” Symphony at the palace of Prince Lobkowitz to the historic public premiere of his Ninth Symphony. Experiencing Beethoven paints a portrait of the composer’s youth in Bonn, his early triumphs and artistic maturation in Vienna, and—despite the...

Beyond the Art of Finger Dexterity

Autor: David Gramit

Número de Páginas: 302

Carl Czerny was a highly successful composer of popular piano music, and his pedagogical works remain fundamental to the training of pianists. But Czerny's reputation in these areas has obscured the remarkable breadth of his activity, and especially his work as a composer of serious music. This collection aims to address this.

Revival: Beethoven (1933)

Autor: Harvey Grace

Número de Páginas: 181

The original intention was that this book should be entirely biographical. If it be true, however, that out main interest is (or ought to be) in what a composer did rather than in what he was, the truth applies especially to Beethoven, and above all at the present time. The scheme of the book has therefore been modified so as to include a survey of his work. An attempt to make such survey cover the whole of Beethoven’s output would result in little more than a catalogue, with annotations to brief as to convey hardly anything of the essential quality of the music. It seemed, therefore, that the limited space would be best used, and the needs of the general reader more fully met, by a much less rigid and comprehensive method. My aim has been to indicate some, at least, of the more important characteristics of Beethoven’s works, and to show their influence on his successors.

Parler, composer, jouer. Sept leçons sur la musique

Autor: Karol Beffa

Número de Páginas: 237

Compositeur, pianiste et musicologue, Karol Beffa, auteur de près d'une centaine d'opus, élu " meilleur compositeur " aux Victoires de la musique (2013) et Grand Prix Lycéen des Compositeurs (2016), est un acteur incontournable de la scène musicale contemporaine. Né en 1973, il a mené parallèlement études générales et musicales, après avoir été enfant acteur dans une quinzaine de films. C'est à cette personnalité hors normes que le Collège de France a confié la chaire annuelle de création artistique en 2012-2013. Ce livre est le fruit des cours qu'il y a assurés. Karol Beffa conduit son lecteur dans l'atelier du créateur et réussit à lui faire comprendre de l'intérieur non seulement ses propres œuvres mais aussi celles des autres compositeurs : " Peut-être est-ce là le moyen d'approcher le secret de grands compositeurs [...] qui ont su, chacun à sa façon, évoquer leur propre musique et celle d'autrui dans un discours souvent simple et sans excès de références techniques. Ce secret, me semble-t-il, tient à une approche où domine l'intuition. Chez ces grands compositeurs, elle fleurit bien sûr sur tout un terreau de culture musicale, de maîtrise...

La valse dans tous ses états

Autor: Luc Rudolph

Número de Páginas: 330

La valse est apparue dans l'Empire des Habsbourg dans la seconde moitié du 18e siècle. Son essor coïncide avec l'époque révolutionnaire et l'émergence de la bourgeoisie. Elle présida à des plaisirs plus populaires, tout en ayant trouvé sa place au sein du plus pur classicisme musical. Elle continue d'imprégner nos moeurs, c'est dire si la valse n'est pas qu'une icône passéiste et qu'elle méritait cette étude, étant donné l'engouement qu'elle a durablement provoqué à travers des milliers de compositeurs sur tous les continents.

The Viennese Ballroom in the Age of Beethoven

Autor: Erica Buurman

Número de Páginas: 209

The repertoire of the early Viennese ballroom was highly influential in the broader histories of both social dance and music in nineteenth-century Europe. Yet music scholarship has traditionally paid little attention to ballroom dance music before the era of the Strauss dynasty, with the exception of a handful of dances by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. This book positions Viennese social dances in their specific performing contexts and investigates the wider repertoire of the Viennese ballroom in the decades around 1800, most of which stems from dozens of non-canonical composers. Close examination of this material yields new insights into the social contexts associated with familiar dance types, and reveals that the ballroom repertoire of this period connected with virtually every aspect of Viennese musical life, from opera and concert music to the emerging category of entertainment music that was later exemplified by the waltzes of Lanner and Strauss.
