This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ornaments play an enormous role in the music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and ambiguities in their notation (as well as their frequent omission in the score) have left doubt as to how composers intended them to be interpreted. Frederick Neumann, himself a violinist and conductor, questions the validity of the rigid principles applied to their performance. In this controversial work, available for the first time in paperback, he argues that strict constraints are inconsistent with the freedom enjoyed by musicians of the period. The author takes an entirely new look at ornamentation, and particularly that of J. S. Bach. He draws on extensive research in England, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States to show that prevailing interpretations are based on inadequate evidence. These restrictive interpretations have been far-reaching in their effect on style. By questioning them, this work continues to stimulate a reorientation in our understandiing of Baroque and post-Baroque music.

Download or read book Devilish Details Ornament related Passages in Selected Works of Johann Sebastian Bach written by Sebestyen Nyiro and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objects of this study are some selected passages from the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685—1750). The passages were chosen for the specific purpose to demonstrate on the one hand, how Baroque ornamentation can be realized and executed in certain examples, and on the other hand, how the presence of certain ornaments creates performance implications for the musical context, sometimes even influencing general aspects of the compositions. Chapter one addresses the role of performer as mediator and re-creator from the time of Louis Couperin (1626—1661) on. It also discusses the role of modern performer in a â€historically informed performance.†The second chapter overviews the background information related directly and indirectly to the ornamentation practice of J. S. Bach. It also discusses some ornament tables which are accepted as relevant to J. S. Bach’s ornamentation practice. The dissertation’s main themes in the practical part, chapter three and chapter four, are ornamentation and tempo, simultaneous ornamentation (arrangement and timing between different ornaments), and compositional ornamentation. It touches upon the connection between compositional ornamentation and sign-ornamentation as well. Its primary contribution to music theory (in the original and broadest sense of the word, Î ̧ÎμÏ‰Ï Î ̄α, looking) lies in setting out an original position on the analysis of the selected passages to establish another way of looking at ornaments—a small, but organic part of the whole composition.

Download or read book Ornamentation and Improvisation in Mozart written by Frederick Neumann and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a sequel to Frederick Neumann's Ornamentation in Baroque and Post-Baroque Music, With Special Emphasis on J.S. Bach (Princeton, 1978). In the present volume, the first work on this subject for Mozart's music, the author continues his important contributions to the search for historically correct performance practices, and to the liberation of the performer from improperly conceived and overly restrictive interpretation of musical scores. The first part of this book attempts to free ornamentation in Mozart from rigorism that has resulted from confusing the pure abstraction of ornament tables with concrete musical situations. The second part deals with pitches that were not written in the score yet often intended to be added when Mozart left "white spots" in his notation. These additions range from single notes to lengthy cadenzas. The problem addressed is the question of where such additions are possible or necessary and how they might best be designed. Professor Neumann draws on an immense knowledge of the literature written during Mozart's time and on his own comprehension of the subtleties of Mozart's music and musical styles. Refusing to interpret the sources dogmatically, he frees performers of Mozart from the rigid princples too often imposed by modern scholars. Frederick Neumann is Professor of Music Emeritus at the University of Richmond. Originally published in 1986.
