Download or read book Charles Valentin Alkan written by Dr William Alexander Eddie and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 'conservative radical' is William Alexander Eddie's description of the French virtuoso composer-pianist Charles Valentin Alkan (1813-1888). Judaic culture, the French baroque and German classicism were the main influences on Alkan's musical style, with more radical musical tendencies found in many of the Esquisses op 63. This comprehensive survey takes as its focus a stylistic analysis of Alkan's compositions from the apprentice works to the later 'massed style' etudes; the latter are of considerable length and pianistic difficulty. There is also consideration of Alkan's achievements as pianist and teacher, and the sections on performance practice in Alkan will be of interest to pianists today. A full investigation of Alkan's reception history is also included and useful appendices provide a guide to further archival research. A list of works and basic discography complete this new study of an important French composer.

Download or read book Charles Valentin Alkan written by Brigitte François-Sappey and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Né Charles-Valentin Morhange dans une famille de six enfants qui deviendront tous musiciens, Alkan (1813-1888) fut un prodige précoce, grâce à une composition pour piano composée à l’âge de quatorze ans. Ami de Chopin et Liszt, il vécut cependant très retiré et disparut des salons parisiens pendant de longues périodes. Ses concerts furent rares avant 1873 et, malgé sa renommée, il ne joua pas ses propres compositions. Pourtant au-delà de l’étrange personnage misogyne et foncièrement juif qui le définit, on découvre un compositeur original autant que brillant et très apprécié dans les salons parisiens de son époque. Il est toujours considéré comme le plus important représentant français de l'école de piano romantique, avec des pièces d’une extrême difficulté d’exécution. A travers un ouvrage riche d’illustrations et d’exemples musicaux, les deux auteurs présentent la vie et l’oeuvre analysée d’une figure musicale française au destin singulier, avec de nombreuses annexes utiles, dont un catalogue des oeuvres mis à jour, à l’occasion des commémorations officielles du bicentenaire de sa naissance.

Download or read book Composer Genealogies written by Scott Pfitzinger and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the western classical tradition, composers have influenced and been influenced by their students and teachers. Many musicians frequently add to their personal acclaim by naming their teachers and the lineage through which they were taught. Until now, the relationships between composers have remained uncataloged and understudied, but with enough research, it is possible to document entire schools of composition. Composer Genealogies: A Compendium of Composers, Their Teachers, and Their Students is the first volume to gather the genealogies of more than seventeen thousand classical composers in a single volume. Functioning as its own fully cross-referenced index, this volume lists composers and their dates, followed by their teachers and notable students. A short introduction presents the parameters by which composers were selected and provides a survey of the literature available for further study. Gathering records and information from reference books, university websites, obituaries, articles, composers’ websites, and even direct contact with some composers, Pfitzinger creates a valuable resource for music researchers, composers, and performers.
