Download or read book Musikalische Norm um 1700 written by Rainer Bayreuther and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seit der Antike galt die Musik als eine mathematische Kunst. Um 1700 beginnen die musikalischen Denker, sich an einer anderen Leitwissenschaft zu orientierten: dem Rechtsdenken der Zeit. Diesen Paradigmenwechsel lotet der Band in elf Beiträgen aus musikgeschichtlicher, literaturgeschichtlicher, philosophischer und rechtsgeschichtlicher Perspektive aus. Die musikalische Praxis des Komponierens, Spielens und Hörens bekommt einen neuen und stärkeren Stellenwert für die Musiktheorie. Kriterien der Zweckmäßigkeit, des Geschmacks und des Erfolgs bestimmen nun die musikalische Norm. Der Band zeigt auf, wie sich die Musiktheorie um 1700 an den neuen Wissensformen des galanten Diskurses, der Naturrechtsdebatten des gesellschaftlichen Modebewusstseins orientiert. Beleuchtet wird die Debatte in Deutschland, Frankreich und England. Die neue Form des musikalischen Wissens hat weitgehende Wechselwirkungen mit der musikalischen Praxis. Der neue musikalische Stil um 1700 wird fassbar als kompositorische Umsetzung eines gewandelten Verständnisses musikalischer Norm, die sich nicht mehr aus überzeitlichen musikalischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten speist, sondern den Wandel von musikalischem Empfinden und musikalischem Geschmack selbst als normatives Prinzip enthält.
Download or read book Bach Perspectives Volume 9 written by Andrew Talle and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative addition to the Bach Perspectives series offers a counternarrative to the isolated genius status that J. S. Bach and his music currently enjoy. Contributors contextualize Bach by examining the output, reputation, and compositional practices of his contemporaries in Germany whose work was widely played and enjoyed in his time, including Georg Philipp Telemann, Christoph Graupner, Gottlieb Muffat, and Johann Adolf Scheibe. Essays place Bach and his work in relation to his peers, examining avenues of composition they took while he did not and showing how differing treatments of the same subjects or texts resulted in markedly different compositional results and legacies. By looking closely at how Bach's contemporaries addressed the tasks and challenges of their time, this project provides a more nuanced view of the musical world of Bach's time while revealing in more specific terms than ever how and why Bach's own music remains fresh and compelling. In this volume, Wolfgang Hirschmann proposes an ethnographic approach that contextualizes Bach's works, addressing the aesthetic paths he took as well as those he did not pursue. Steven Zohn's essay considers Telemann's contribution to the orchestral Ouverture genre, observering how Telemann's approach to integrating the national styles of his time was quite different from, but no less rich than, Bach's. Andrew Talle compares settings and strategies of Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust by Bach and Graupner. Alison Dunlop presents valuable primary research on Muffat, the most commonly cited keyboard music composer in Vienna during Bach's lifetime. Finally, Michael Maul sheds new light on the Scheibe-Birnbaum controversy, contextualizing the most famous critique of J. S. Bach's compositional style by discussing the other composers that Scheibe critiqued.

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.
Download or read book Andreas Friz s Letter on Tragedies ca 1741 1744 written by Nienke Tjoelker and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Andreas Friz’s Letter on tragedies (ca. 1741-1744) Nienke Tjoelker offers insight into the Jesuit school theatre of the eighteenth century. Commonly ignored by scholars, who assume that by then Jesuit theatre was disappearing and of poor quality, it appears to be very much alive and interacting with contemporary vernacular theatre. Tjoelker places Friz's poetics in its historical and literary context in an extensive introduction and presents an edition with translation. She investigates Friz's focus on the imitation of French classical writers, such as Jean Racine (1639-1699) and Pierre Corneille (1606-1684). Friz criticised his colleagues for their excessive use of multimedia ornaments, which hindered the correct application of the three classical unities and verisimilitude.
