Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of the Evolution of Musical Form The general drift of this theory of music has already been indicated in The Rhythmic Conception of Music. The object of the present volume may be briefly stated to be the application of the evolutionary principle to practical music, the essential motive power of which is to be found in rhythm. By this means it is possible to produce an analysis which, as promised in the former volume, shall weld all the various parts of musical education into one consistent and logical whole. The theory has arisen not from abstract ideas, but out of the study of music. It is not so much a theory about music as an endeavour to translate into the terms of the intellect the form of the impressions made upon the musical imagination - in short, to hold the mirror up to Music. It is hoped that those who have themselves the intuitive knowledge will recognise the likeness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons in Music Form: A Manual of Analysis of All the Structural Factors and Designs Employed in Musical Composition The present manual treats of the structural designs of musical composition, not of the styles or species of music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Harmony: A Treatise on the Material of Musical Composition, Its Gradual Growth and Elementary Use But if the study of harmony is to lead up to anything more than the writing of a double chant, a great many more innovations are necessary. I. The figured bass is often a formless thing. Form is to music what sense is to language. In this treatise form is discussed from the very first. It is neither presumed nor ignored. In the early work help is obtained from the analogy between metre and accent. The student begins with phrase formation, gradually building up a sentence, and finally working exercises in binary or ternary form, with regular and irregular phrase formation. Some atten tion is also paid to thematic development. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Groundwork: Being a First Manual of Musical Form and History, for Students and Readers I have not thought it necessary to burden the reader with cross references in so small a volume, and I would point out that, frequently throughout the book, where a subject appears to terminate abruptly its continuation will be seen on another page. Take the case of Opera. In this description, slight reference only is made to the Over ture, but a fuller account of this movement appears in the section on Musical Forms. Again, in the chapter on Instruments and Instrumentation, much concerning the Symphony has been omitted there in order that it may find a place where the Symphony is treated as a Form. Not a little, too, concerning early Instrumentation will be found in the treatment of the Opera and Oratorio. Finally, the little work, small as it is, covers an immense historic ground and critical survey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Modern Orchestration Throughout these pages the achievements of the more prominent composers are set forth in such manner as to indicate not only the distinctive features of 'their orchestration but of their general creative ability as well. In each case, the gen eral style of composition and its significance as a contribution to musical literature are first enlarged upon. This is followed by an examination of the differentiated treatment of the strings, the wood, the brass, presented in logical sequence. A final analysis is then made of the individual method of orchestration as a whole, together with its relative value in the evolution of orchestration. In the Appendix to this book will be found a few musical illustrations selected from representative orchestral scores.

Download or read book Classical Form written by William E. Caplin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-12-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on ideas first advanced by Arnold Schoenberg and later developed by Erwin Ratz, this book introduces a new theory of form for instrumental music in the classical style. The theory provides a broad set of principles and a comprehensive methodology for the analysis of classical form, from individual ideas, phrases, and themes to the large-scale organization of complete movements. It emphasizes the notion of formal function, that is, the specific role a given formal unit plays in the structural organization of a classical work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Larger Forms of Musical Composition: An Exhaustive Explanation of the Variations, Rondos, and Sonata Designs, for the General Student of Musical Analysis, and for the Special Student of Structural Composition "And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep." - Genesis, I, 2. "Order is heaven's first law." - Alexander Pope. "Passion, whether great or not, must never he expressed in an exaggerated manner; and music - even in the most ardent moment - ought never to offend the ear, hut should always remain music, whose object it is to give pleasure." - Mozart. "Inspiration without methods and means at its disposal will no more enable a man to write a symphony than to build a ship or a cathedral." - C. Hubert H. Parry. "Evolution of the art of music." "I have never believed it possible that any natural or improved ability can claim immunity from the companionship of the steady, plain, hardworking qualities, and hope to gain its end." - Dickens. "David Copperfield." The present volume is a sequel to the Homophonic Forms and Applied Counterpoint, and is similarly designed for the use both of the student of analysis, and the student of practical composition. It claims to be no more than a guide for the student through the successive stages in the evolution of the larger and largest forms of music structure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Music: An Historical Sketch of the Changes in Musical Form I freely confess that I have chosen the second course, not from any lack of modesty, but because I believe that the presentation of history is a matter less of knowledge than of point of view. For this reason the invitation of the Radio Corporation attracted me particularly, as it gave me the opportunity of testing the soundness of the ideas developed in my book on Wagner and my pamphlet on The Nature of Tone in the larger field of music history as a whole. These lectures, which were given under the title of The History of Change in Music, are here presented in book form.
