Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Again available in paperback, this definitive work on the genius of Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is the result of twelve years of devoted effort by America's foremost harpsichordist and one of the principal authorities on eighteenth-century harpsichord music. Mr. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively to collect material that has tripled the known facts about Scarlatti's life, providing the first adequate biography of one of the greatest harpsichord composers of the eighteenth century and one of the most original composers of all time. The second half of his book is an illuminating study of Scarlatti's 555 sonatas, concluding with a chapter on their performance. The book contains extensive appendixes, including discussions of ornamentation and Scarlatti's vocal music, and an updated section of addenda and corrigenda.

Download or read book Goldoni as Librettist written by Ted Emery and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1991 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlo Goldoni (1707-1793) is widely recognized as one of Italy's finest playwrights, but his production for the operatic theatre is much less well known. While musicologists have established the importance of Goldoni's innovations in the form of the comic libretto, literary scholars have tended to see the drammi giocosi as at best a pale reflection of the plays, and at worst a distortion of the «real» Goldoni. In Goldoni as Librettist, Emery traces the complex web of relationships between plays and libretti, illustrating the ways in which the author used his operas to prepare for the comedies, or to experiment with themes to which the plays were closed. This reading of Goldoni's operatic texts not only confirms their status as a form of literary activity, but also allows us to more fully understand Goldoni's development as a playwright.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What emerges from this study, is a picture of 18th-century opera as a literary work as well as a theatrical and musical event in its challenging and variable interactions of poetry, music, gesture and decor. This is illuminated by an exploration of both the context of ideas in which opera flourished and the aims that animated those who where involved with its existence - poets, composers, performers, dramatists, impresari, patrons, audiences - in an attempt to penetrate the secrets of its appeal, of that tacit agreement between authors and audiences, that made it possible for dramatist, musicians and stage designers to manipulate spectator's emotions and reactions as successfully as many sources document.

Download or read book Word as Action written by Michael Hawcroft and published by Oxford Modern Languages & Lite. This book was released on 1992 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France's greatest tragedian, Jean Racine, is often admired for his poetic and tragic qualities. This book, on the other hand, explores the theatrical qualities of Racine's language and takes as its analytical tool two neglected parts of rhetoric, inventio and dispositio. How does Racine write exciting dialogue? He makes the persuasive interaction of characters a key feature of his dramatic technique and Word as Action shows how he deploys persuasion in well-defined contexts: trials, embassies, and councils; informal oratory as protagonists try to manipulate each other and their confidants in order to make their own views and wishes prevail; self-persuasion in monologues; and narrations, often used by characters with persuasive intent. The book draws illuminating and provocative comparisons with other playwrights and offers a closer and better documented description of the specific nature of Racine's theatrical language than has previously been available in any one study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Dramma per musica', the most usual term for Italian serious opera from the seventeenth to the early nineteenth century, was a modern, enlightened form of theater that presented a unified, artistically designed, dramatic enactment of human stories, expressed by the voice and underscored by the orchestra. This book illustrates the diversity of this baroque art form and explains how it has given us opera as we know it.
