Download or read book Marpurg s Thoroughbass and Composition Handbook written by David A. Sheldon and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg is widely recognized today as a highly important, prolific, and influential writer of the 18th-century musical scene. His Handbuch, however, has not received the study and recognition it deserves as one of th e most significant and complete composition methods from any period in history. Within its 341 pages and almost 1000 musical examples, Marpurg leads his reader through an extensive course in musical composition beginning with the handling of every conceivable interval, then proceeding to writing for two or more voices, and ending with instruction in canon, fugue, and various types of interval counterpoint. The section devoted to fugue constitutes both a distillation and a refinement of Marpurg's Abhandlung von der Fuge (1753-54), the first monograph devoted to the subject. David Sheldon is a recognized authority on music theory in the critical mid-18th century decades when the Baroque as a musical concept passes into the great Classic Era. This volume carefully examines the material of the Handbuch with regard to origin and influence, while organizing it in such a way as to clarify Marpurg's main concepts and contributions. In this new, translated form the Handbuch will offer much to the present-day scholar and student.

This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A solid grounding in musical techniques of the 17th and 18th centuries is essential to a complete understanding of Baroque music. As scholar Denis Stevens says in his introduction to this work, "Full enjoyment will come only when the soloist learns the gentle art of tasteful embellishment of a melodic line, and when continuo players learn that their role is perhaps the most important in the entire ensemble." Arnold's legendary work is a comprehensive survey of its topic, covering every issue of significance to today's performer. The text is fully amplified with numerous musical examples, authoritative citations, scholarly interpretations and syntheses, and the author's own conclusions. An inexhaustible collection of source material for the musicologist as well as an indispensable companion for conductor, editor, or performer. Volume 2 of a 2-volume set.

Download or read book Vivaldi written by Michael Talbot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1978, the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi's death, there has been an explosion of serious writing about his music, life and times. Much of this has taken the form of articles published in academic journals or conference proceedings, some of which are not easy to obtain. The twenty-two articles selected by Michael Talbot for this volume form a representative selection of the best writing on Vivaldi from the last 30 years, featuring such major figures in Vivaldi research as Reinhard Strohm, Paul Everett, Gastone Vio and Federico Maria Sardelli. Aspects covered include biography, Venetian cultural history, manuscript studies, genre studies and musical analysis. The intention is to serve as a 'first port of call' for those wishing to learn more about Vivaldi or to refresh their existing knowledge. An introduction by Michael Talbot reviews the state of Vivaldi scholarship past and present and comments on the significance of the articles.

Download or read book Beyond Bach written by Andrew Talle and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverence for J. S. Bach's music and its towering presence in our cultural memory have long affected how people hear his works. In his own time, however, Bach stood as just another figure among a number of composers, many of them more popular with the music-loving public. Eschewing the great composer style of music history, Andrew Talle takes us on a journey that looks at how ordinary people made music in Bach's Germany. Talle focuses in particular on the culture of keyboard playing as lived in public and private. As he ranges through a wealth of documents, instruments, diaries, account ledgers, and works of art, Talle brings a fascinating cast of characters to life. These individuals--amateur and professional performers, patrons, instrument builders, and listeners--inhabited a lost world, and Talle's deft expertise teases out the diverse roles music played in their lives and in their relationships with one another. At the same time, his nuanced re-creation of keyboard playing's social milieu illuminates the era's reception of Bach's immortal works.
