Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Music and Musicians, Vol. 1: Compositions for Piano It is imperative, in this day of musical advance, that the pianist's education should not be bounded by the keyboard. The lives Of the masters, the birth and growth of different musical schools, the management of the orchestra in compositions that one hears frequently, the com prehension Of the plan or form Of the compositions which one executes, all these things are necessary to the fullest enjoyment and appreciation of Music. It has been my aim to gather as many as possible Of these topics into a single work, properly classified and accessible for constant reference.

Download or read book The Music of the Modern World Vol 1 of 2 written by Fanny Morris Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Music of the Modern World, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrated in the Lives and Works of the Greatest Modern Musicians and in Reproductions of Famous Paintings, Etc Scheffer, Eugene Delacroix, and Paul Delaroche, members of circles where music held a supreme interest. Music is SO nearly allied to painting and sculpture that a picture is Often a better guide to the meaning of a piece than any words - even words Of poetry. The pictorial suggestions Offered in our music pages are only suggestions, but as such may prove stimulating to the imagination of the pianist and singer, especially when they express motion or grace in repose. They Should not be taken too seriously. It is hardly necessary to add that the music OF the modern world is in no sense an encyclopaedia. Quite as many great artists are unmentioned in its pages as find a place there, quite as many very great composers remain unquoted as are repre sented in its music pages. In the case Of Wagner and Berlioz, the narrow excerpt of a melody, or a Short transcription from works so massive, grand, and full of detail, affords no example Of the genius or style Of those immense contours, whereas the tuneful num bers of Rossini, Gounod, or even Meyerbeer are easily separated from their original environment because they are complete in themselves. Much of the music selected is cameo-like in its dimensions and finish, because only cameos could be contained in SO small a compass as the number of pages at our disposal. The editors have collected a group of melodies that will never become Old while civilization endures. Those culled from Russia, Bohemia, and Hungary are as yet scarcely known in America; they will sur prise as much by their congeniality to American temperament as by their exquisite fresh ness. The illustrations of Hunyady Laszlo, by Pennell, are the fruit Of a season's wan dering in Hungary in search of gipsy music. It is needless to say that the author of the great national opera Of Hungary was not a gipsy, and that the patriotic themes that form the context Of the opera are of the purest Hungarian character. Special acknowledgments are due to Gunther co. For the care with which they have type-set the piano music. We believe that such feats as the pedal phrasing in Vogel als Prophet have never before been accomplished with music type.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American History and Encyclopedia of Music Musical Biographies Compiled, Vol. 1 In the preparation of these volumes the aim has been to make the list of musicians include a selection of those that will be most useful in a book of reference for the general reader or student as well as for the musician. To this end the following classes have been particularly emphasized: Great composers; noted artists and performers; successful teachers; musicians who have made inventions or improvements in the instruments they represent; musical critics and writers; all musicians who are im portant in the history of music; and representatives of special schools or epochs of music. An especial effort has been made to include as many contemporary musicians as possible, and American musicians have been given proportionately more space than those of foreign countries. Names of musicians from whom personal information has been Obtained, either directly or from members of their families, are marked with a star.

Download or read book Modern Music and Musicians written by Louis Charles Elson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Music and Musicians, Vol. 1 It seems only a few years ago that the popular idea of standards in music education might be summed in the word "method," each so-called "method" supposed to possess some mysterious potency for the achieving of phenomenal progress. Just as in the acquirement of knowledge in other departments of learning it eventually has been realized that "there is no royal road to success," so in decent years it has been established in the realm of music education that no longer in "method" but in "methods" is there found the key to genuine accomplishment. In other words, the successful teacher is the one who draws upon many sources for the particular remedy required in each individual case, and only through a thorough comprehension of basic principles, both within and without the realm of music, can such a teacher hope to choose those tactics best calculated to achieve the desired results in each separate instance. It would be impossible in the space of one volume to sum up all of the various departments and sources of knowledge requisite to the well-equipped musician. However, it has been the endeavor of the editors to make of "The Pianist's Guide" an invaluable aid to this end. Even though it may not carry to completion the different subjects which it essays to treat, it is perhaps possible therein to open up added fields of thought and create interest in new paths of investigation, such as will lead the studious reader to further research in various important directions. Where there exist marked divergencies of opinion between acknowledged experts in the realm of technical procedure, it is evident that a considerable latitude of treatment is permissible, even in the judgment of the rank and file of teachers. Thus a portion of this volume has been devoted to a study of the methods of many of these exponents of special systems, enabling the reader to choose from all according to his own special requirements. The necessity for a broader equipment on the part of the piano teacher reaching far beyond his specialized realm into the realm of the orchestra, the chamber music literature, and to other fields covered by the available bibliography of music literature, cannot be too strongly urged upon every student of the piano, with the assurance that this will not only result in the making of a better pianist and a better musician, but also a stronger force for musical culture in the community within which these talents are given outlet.

Download or read book The Music of the Modern World Vol 1 of 2 written by Fanny Morris Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Music of the Modern World, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrated in the Lives and Works of the Greatest Modern Musicians and in Reproductions of Famous Paintings, Etc The Music of the Modern World originated in a desire to create a book which should possess a distinct flavour of the life in which musicians feel, think, and act a life in which temperament, imagination, and suffering rule supreme a life of incessant mental activity and exertion, prosecuted too often under the burden of care, anxiety, and privation. It is the province of music to give the most precise and yet vivid expression possible to all the feelings and emotions incident to human life. As nations and individuals differ widely in temperament, the world of music in which they express themselves is full of divergent theories, instincts, and idiosyncrasies. The Music of the Modern World has sought to open the door of this intense and passionate musical life to the lovers of music. No theory, no school of art, or national animus has been prosecuted at the expense of rival theories, schools, or nationalities. On the contrary, the partisan known to be most enthusiastic in his cause has been chosen to exploit each special subject; each writers name makes him and no one else responsible for his opinions advanced, and nothing has been altered or softened to meet the personal views of the editors. Thus, when brought together, the various articles give a birds-eye view of the musical life as a whole, as it is being lived to-day, and a hint of the causes which have been at work to make it what it is. The many pens that have been busy in the preparation of The Music of the Modern World are without exception those of practical and often very famous musicians, artists, and critics. Everything contained in its pages is the utterance of people who live in music and by music. Even the artists whose paintings are reproduced in its pages usually turned out on investigation to be passionate lovers of music, and, like Ary Scheffer, Eugene Delacroix, and Paul Delaroche, members of circles where music held a supreme interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book reflects a breakthrough in American music studies, an unrecognized field among traditional musicologists until the past few decades, during which enormous progress has been made in documenting three centuries of American musical activities and figures. Time and effort had to be expended exclusively on the development of basic historical studies. The time has come for a new phase, one that can take a creative, interpretive approach. Professor Crawford's study will introduce this higher level of scholarship into the field of American music studies."—Vivian Perlis, author of Charles Ives Remembered "A major statement by a senior scholar on what American musicology is all about. . . These themes are also topical; they come at a time when much more research is being done in American music, but little thought is being given to the big picture, the vision, the philosophy, and the implications of historical research. Now is the time for a synthesis, and there are few scholars better equipped to do that in American music than Richard Crawford."—Michael Broyles, author of Music of the Highest Class
