Sinossi
The evolution of the symphony is one of the greatest achievements of the Western musical mind. Its 250-year history--how it began to challenge the traditional superiority of vocal music to eventually become regarded as one of the most fulfilling genres in music--is rich and fascinating. From the early symphonies of seventeenth century through the greatest symphonist of all, Beethoven, to the present day, A Guide to the Symphony is a comprehensive and readable guide for anyone who listens to classical music at concerts, on disc, or on the radio.
Here, Robert Layton and an international team of scholars present a detailed guide to the history of symphony following its growth and development up to the age of Beethoven, and charting its divergent course in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries throughout the world. Among the distinguished contributors, each a specialist in his own field, are H.C. Robbins Landon, well known for his regular television appearances throughout Britain and his many books on Mozart and Haydn; David Brown, the world's leading authority on Tchaikovsky and nineteenth-century Russian music; Richard Osborne, presenter of the BBC's Saturday Review, biographer of Gioachino Rossini and acclaimed Beethoven expert; and Robert Layton himself, Britain's leading authority on Scandinavian music. Every major symphonist is covered, including such greats as Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Anton Bruckner, Gustav Mahler Jean Sibelius, and Carl Nielsen.
With nearly 120 musical examples, and a list of over 500 recommended recordings, A Guide to the Symphony is must reading for any serious music lover. Whether you want a fresh view of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony or Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, an assessment of Schumann's contributions to the symphony, or an introduction to more forbidding composers like Henze and Tippett, this informative and accessible work will guide, illuminate, and stimulate.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A 'readable reference book' for anyone who listens to classical music, at concerts, on disc and - especially - on the radio. Every major symphonist, from Haydn to the present, is covered in detail; and though the writing is vigorous and penetrating, the analysis never presupposes any specialist tecnical knowledge. There are around 120 musical examples, while an appendix by Robert Lyton, regular critic of The Gramophone for 30 years, lists over 500 recommended recordings. Among the contributors, each a specialist in his own field, are H C Robbins Landon, well known for his regular TV appearances and many books on Mozart and Haydn; David Brown, the world's leading authority on Tchaikovsky and 19th century Russian music; Richard Osborne, well-known presenter of BBC's Saturday Review , biographer of Rossini and acclaimed writer on Beethoven; and Robert Layton, the book's editor, who is Britain's top authority on Scandinavian music. This book is intended for students and scholars of music; anyone who listens to classical music. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR002688510
