Paperback. Condizione: New. What does it mean to understand music? What, if anything, does music mean? Composers, performers, listeners, and academics may answer these questions differently, but what sense of music do they share? When music seems unfamiliar or unlike anything we have heard before, we may say that we don't "like"… it. How is taking pleasure from music related to understanding it? This book explores these and other issues as they arise in various musical contexts. Performers' interpretations may be filled with errors, after all, that then become part of a tradition; a composer's work may be variously assessed by his or her contemporaries - an account of how Beethoven's reputation was established so early is included - and how musical analysis can mislead as well as enhance understanding of a composition. Originally the content of three lectures given in Rome in 1993 - "The Frontiers of Nonsense", "How To Become Immortal" and "Explaining the Obvious" - this work offers a study of music, as text, as performance, and as listening experience.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This is the first book which deals with the school of American repetitive music, also know as minimal music. The early work of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass is discussed in the context of traditional Western music. Minimal music thus emerges as the latest stage in a develop…ment leading from Schoenberg, Webern, Stockhausen and Cage. In considering the philosophical thinking of Deleuze and Lyotard, the representatives of the so-called French ' libidinal philosophy', and of Adorno, the author examines the degree to which the 'ecstatic dimension' is present in this music or is even consciously introduced to it.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Harold Taylor draws on a combination of Alexander Technique and the teaching of pianist Raymond Thiberge to propound a piano method that is all about overall mental and physical coordination rather than analysing different elements of technique. Playing the piano, in this world, is not about the finge…rs, but about the whole body; it's not about conquering the external obstacle of the piano, but about removing the internal obstacles with which we habitually distort or get in the way of ourselves.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'The publication of this study of the music of Bela Bartok is an important event. Many descriptive analyses of particular works of his have appeared, but here for the first time is an authoritative and convincing exposition of the theoretical principles which the composer worked out for himself but re…frained, as far as is known, from expounding it to anyone during his lifetime. Erno Lendvai has disclosed the fact that Bela Bartok, in his early thirties, evolved for himself a method of integrating all the elements of music; the scales, the chordal structure with the melodic motifs appropriate to them, together with the proportions of length as between movements in a whole work, main divisions within a movement such as exposition, development and recapitulation and even balancing phrases within sections of movements, according to one single basic principle.'

Paperback. Condizione: New. Italian 20th Century Music offers a long-needed overview of Italian music in the modern era and provides us a glimpse of forgotten musical treasures that have for too long waited re-discovery.When Guiseppe Verdi died in 1901 he left behind him a clear message: Italian music was badly in need of reform… and this could only be done by 'looking back to move forward' - by passing over the transient developments of the 19th century to search for the real roots of Italian culture. Some composers took heed, but many clung to the opera lirica and verism of the recent past. The situation was not helped by the conservatism of Mussolini's fascist government, which favoured writers of popular opera at the expense of innovators.The years following the Second World War saw the fall of the monarchy and a general opening up of the outside world. Despite the innate conservatism of the Italian public, which continued to hamper a full expression of Italian radicalism in music, Italian composers were at last able to express themselves freely and many began to be rightfully acknowledged by important international institutions, above all during the groundbreaking Darmstadt courses, and later in the post-serial post-modern musical culture that dominated the end of the century.From Mascagni and Tosti to Dallapiccola and Petrassi, from Maderna, Berio and Nono to Morricone, Einaudi and Fedele, this is an intriguing account of a tumultuous century and an important contribution to the history of music in the 20th century.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Anarchy, as the absence of government, is neither chaos nor some impossible Utopian dream. In fact it is a very common form of political organisation and one which has characterised much of the human past. People Without Government describes briefly the anarchic political structures of a number of the…se societies. True they are mainly small-scale hunting, gathering and horticultural groups. However, the social organisation of certain large populations with complex relations is also sometimes anarchic. Thus anarchy applies to a broad spectrum of different kinds of societies.This book seeks to show what anarchy has been like in practice. Special attention is paid to the techniques of leadership, maintaining order and decision-making. The dynamic interplay between freedom and authority is considered, particularly the apparent tendency of anarchic polities to degenerate into states with government and for organisations to become oligarchies, and it is concluded that liberty and individuality are at best very tenuous and fleeting entities. There can be no relenting in the struggle for freedom.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Barry Tuckwell was, until his retirement, one of the world's leading horn virtuosos and thus eminently suited to writing this Guide. This versatile musician combines a soloists experience, an orchestral player's inside knowledge and a conductor's broad view of the horn and its music. He tells the fasc…inating story of the taming of the horn from a loud, rough signalling instrument to one that is mellow and emotive - described by Schumann as the soul of the orchestra. The history of the horn we know today is closely related to technical developments both in playing and in writing, and with a wealth of musical examples Barry Tuckwell tells us of these changes and the people who made them. He then deals with the difficulties of building and maintaining this difficult instrument, providing invaluable insights into the practicalities of the craft. Useful advice is given on all aspects of learning, practising and playing for the beginner, amateur and teacher. Finally the reader is given the benefit of an inside view of the life of a professional horn player, whether rehearsing, recording or performing live down to so basic (and easily overlooked) a consideration as fatigue - the players' need to spread the load - the explanation for what often seems to the concert-goer to be one more horn player than is necessary.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Starting with the earliest organ and tracing the mechanical development in parallel with the growth of its musical repertoire, Dr Wills discusses the role of the 'king of instruments' through the baroque period and the Romantic revival of the last century to the eclectic and museum organs of today. Wh…ile not ignoring the fascination of the instrument as a 'wonderous machine' and the attraction of its unique aural power, the author never loses sight of the organ's major function - the making of music. He examines its use as an adjunct to church services and as a solo, accompanimental and concert instrument surveying the contemporary repertoire and the techniques demanded by twentieth century composers.Dr Wills writes as an organist, a composer and as a tutor guiding the student towards a correct interpretation of the organ repertoire by relating stylistic developments to the instrument's concurrent technological advances. The organ student as well as the dedicated amateur, will find helpful the discussions of technical considerations closely linked to the spiritual and philosophical approaches adopted by each era and culture. The author suggests a logically graded and structured course of practical study with special attention to improvisation including an invaluable outline course in improvisational technique.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In 1935 the French baritone Pierre Bernac formed a duo with the composer Francis Poulenc that became a legend throughout the world. Unprecedented in the history of music, it was the first duo in which the singer and pianist were perceived as equals. It lasted for 25 years and was a determining influen…ce on Poulenc's vocal output: more than two-thirds of his songs were written for Bernac to sing. Bernac's general book on the French repertoire, "The Interpretation of French Song", has long been the standard and indispensable work on its subject. In "Francis Poulenc - the Man and His Songs", first published in 1977, he gives us the fruit of his long association with Poulenc, paying moving tribute to the composer both as man and musician, and providing detailed analyses of every piano-accompanied song that Poulenc wrote. Each of the 137 poems is annotated for pronunciation, with a line-for-line translation into English by Winifred Radford, who also translated the text of the book. The discussion of each song is preceded by a brief biographical note on the poet and a description of Poulenc's own attitude towards both poet and poem.Bernac aimed in this book, to pass on his personal understanding of the songs of Francis Poulenc, as well as a little of their mutual experience in interpreting and performing them.He has thereby left a unique record whose importance cannot be overestimated.
