Download or read book Bach s Musical Universe The Composer and His Work written by Christoph Wolff and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concentrated study of Johann Sebastian Bach’s creative output and greatest pieces, capturing the essence of his art. Throughout his life, renowned and prolific composer Johann Sebastian Bach articulated his views as a composer in purely musical terms; he was notoriously reluctant to write about his life and work. Instead, he methodically organized certain pieces into carefully designed collections. These benchmark works, all of them without parallel or equivalent, produced a steady stream of transformative ideas that stand as paradigms of Bach’s musical art. In this companion volume to his Pulitzer Prize–finalist biography, Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician, leading Bach scholar Christoph Wolff takes his cue from his famous subject. Wolff delves deeply into the composer’s own rich selection of collected music, cutting across conventional boundaries of era, genre, and instrument. Emerging from a complex and massive oeuvre, Bach’s Musical Universe is a focused discussion of a meaningful selection of compositions—from the famous Well-Tempered Clavier, violin and cello solos, and Brandenburg Concertos to the St. Matthew Passion, Art of Fugue, and B-minor Mass. Unlike any study undertaken before, this book details Bach’s creative process across the various instrumental and vocal genres. This array of compositions illustrates the depth and variety at the essence of the composer’s musical art, as well as his unique approach to composition as a process of imaginative research into the innate potential of his chosen material. Tracing Bach’s evolution as a composer, Wolff compellingly illuminates the ideals and legacy of this giant of classical music in a new, refreshing light for everyone, from the amateur to the virtuoso.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haynes (U. of Montreal) traces the history of musical pitch standards over the last four centuries, linking frequency values to pitch names and telling where, when, and why various pitch levels have been used. With a focus on Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the Hapsburg lands, he covers the pitches of about 1,400 historical instruments and how the design and function influenced and were influenced by changes in pitch. In addition, he studies the effect of pitch differences on musical notation and choice of key. The author has also written a book on the oboe, the instrument that plays the "A" to which a symphony orchestra tunes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Download or read book Baroque Music written by Victor Rangel-Ribeiro and published by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers. This book was released on 1981 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For professional and amateur musicians who want to perform the music of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann, and other composers of the period, Baroque Music provides a clear, readable guide to the standard repertoire - and more - examining more of the major Baroque works in detail than any other book ever published. With wit and clarity, Victor Rangel-Ribeiro draws on the writings of C.P.E. Bach, J.J. Quantz, G.P. Telemann, Francesco Geminiani, Leopold Mozart, and Giuseppe Tartini to offer advice to instrumentalists, singers, and conductors seeking to cope with the difficult aspects of eighteenth-century German, Italian, and English Baroque masterworks. Baroque Music shows how to: interpret Baroque ornaments; provide ornamentation where composers provide only a bare melody; accompany from a 'figured bass'; apply Baroque performance practices to the works of individual composers; synthesize and apply knowledge of Baroque music to bring freshness to works in the standard repertoire, as well as to works that may be less familiar. Moving from relatively simple material to more complex works, the performer is continually made aware of the effects of chronology and national milieu on performance and is encouraged to apply all the knowledge he or she acquires directly to the music being performed."--Publisher's description.
