Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Musicians: A Series of Biographies If France had hitherto rendered considerably more homage and enthusiasm to Wolfgang's youthful and aspiring genius than his fatherland, it was reserved to England, whither the family now turned their steps, to enter still more deeply into the true spirit of this young master. Leopold was right when he observed in letters written from England, It passes all imagination. What he knew when we left Salzburg is a mere shadow compared with what he now knows. Wolfgang had indeed learnt much, even during his Paris sojourn, and certain circumstances in England con tributed still more to develop his talent.

Download or read book Charles Dickens and Music Classic Reprint written by James T. Lightwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Dickens and Music For many years I have been interested in the various musical references in Dickens' works, and have had the impression that a careful examination of his writings would reveal an aspect of his character hitherto unknown, and, I may add, unsuspected. The centenary of his birth hastened a work long contemplated, and a first reading (after many years) brought to light an amount of material far in excess of what I anticipated, While a second examination convinced me that there is, perhaps, no great writer who has made a more extensive use of music to illustrate character and create incident than Charles Dickens. From an historical point of View these references are of the utmost importance, for they reflect to a nicety the general condition of ordinary musical life in England during the middle of the last century. We do not, of course, look to Dickens for a history of classical music during the period those who want this will find it in the newspapers and magazines; but for the story of music in the ordinary English home, for the popular songs of the.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Face to Face With Great Musicians Each name in the whole history of music conjures up for me a living personality, with whom I may in the silences of solitude, converse in no mistakable manner. It is no dead, empty-sounding word for me to see the name of a composer on a program; each number that is to be heard is a key which unlocks for me a stage on which is reenacted a scene from the drama of a man's life. In these little meetings face to face with great musicians, I have tried to make it possible for the most unlearned novice in music to enter the inner circle of musical creators and interpreters.

Download or read book Guide to the Study of Musical History and Criticism Classic Reprint written by Edward Dickinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Study of Musical History and Criticism The topics and references contained in the following pages are intended as an aid to those who wish to study musical history and criticism in a systematic and scholar-like manner. The time has gone by when the authority of a single book or a Single author could meet the demands of an intelligent curiosity. In history, litera ture, - every department of research in which the reliance is wholly or partially upon books, it is now taken for granted that the only rational method is the examination of many authorities with the aid of abstracts, topics, references, and similar guides. The scheme of this present manual is to indicate what material exists in English for the study of musical history, and how that material may be used to the greatest advantage. The topics are synopses of lectures given at Oberlin College; but they are also of general utility, for they summarize the most important phases of the subject, and show the student along what lines his inquiry must proceed. The method is to treat the topics as questions, and find the answers in the references. The author has in general, avoided references to books that are difficult to procure. Only those articles in periodicals are cited which deal with subjects that are not so well or concisely covered in any of the books available, or which have a special interest given them by their authorship.

Download or read book John Milton the Elder and His Music Classic Reprint written by Ernest Brennecke Jr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Milton the Elder and His Music In the embarrassing splendor of this company the elder Mil ton held a position that was far from humble. His work was rated, and printed, with the best. He was a genius in his Own right long before he had any children. That, at least, is the thesis of the present essay, a thesis which has emerged from a fresh examination of contemporary documents and from the pleasant labor of scoring and hearing all his music which is known to have survived, in print or in manuscript. More than half of it has hitherto been completely ignored. The story of his career, frag mentary and obscure as much of it is, brings us into contact with the characteristic intellectual color and humor of the age of Gloriana and James. An analysis of the music itself, ranging from the simple to the architecturally complicated and grandiose, from deep pathos and lamentation to the most winning frivolity, should dissipate the notion that a dabbling tinkerer or a dour puritan was here at work.

Download or read book My Musical Life Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Hugh Reginald Haweis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Musical Life, Vol. 2 Beethoven was a musician only. His glory is to have carried the art of music to its extreme limits of develop ment: no one has yet gone beyond him. Wagner said, I have invented nothing. You cannot invent metre after the Greeks, or the modern drama after shakspere, or colo'uring and perspective after the Italians - there is a point at which an art ceases to grow and stands full-blown like a flower. Most people admit that in music, as in other arts, that point has been reached. What then remained? This, according to richard wagner: to concentrate into one dazzling focus all the arts, and, having sounded and developed the expressional depth, and determined the peculiar function of each, to combine them at length into one perfect and indivisible whole. Words seem childishly inadequate to render all at once such a conception as this. Slowly we may master some of 299. Its details and allow them to orb into a perfect m on whole. If you stand at the foot of one of the Alps, you can see but a little portion of it a hamlet, a mping patch of vineyard, and a pine copse beyond; but as you ascend the winding path the prospect opens to right and left cascades leap by to lose themselves in the torrent below - you plunge into the gloom of a forest and emerge on to the higher meadows and pleasant scenes of pastoral life - yonder the soil grows rocky, and tumbled boulders lie around you - the cloud lifts, and a vista of mountains and valleys is suddenly Opened up, and pressing forward you leave far below the murmurs of one world, and raise your enraptured eyes to the black eagle, as he wheels aloft in the golden air beyond the stainless and eternal snows.
