Download or read book Expressive Intersections in Brahms written by Heather Platt and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This exceptionally fine collection brings together many of the best analysts of Brahms, and nineteenth-century music generally, in the English-speaking world today.” —Nineteenth-Century Music Review Contributors to this exciting volume examine the intersection of structure and meaning in Brahms’s music, utilizing a wide range of approaches, from the theories of Schenker to the most recent analytical techniques. They combine various viewpoints with the semiotic-based approaches of Robert Hatten, and address many of the most important genres in which Brahms composed. The essays reveal the expressive power of a work through the comparison of specific passages in one piece to similar works and through other artistic realms such as literature and painting. The result of this intertextual re-framing is a new awareness of the meaningfulness of even Brahms’s most “absolute” works. “Through its unique combination of historical narrative, expressive content, and technical analytical approaches, the essays in Expressive Intersections in Brahms will have a profound impact on the current scholarly discourse surrounding Brahms analysis.” —Notes

Download or read book Platt s Essays Vol 1 written by James Platt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Platt's Essays, Vol. 1: Business-Money-Economy I rave re-arranged, revised, and added to my six essays, making one volume of Business, Money, and Economy, and another of Life, Morality, and Progress. My Object is to make men think more of life as it is; to study living - how to live; what to do with life; but, above all, to alter the prevailing tone that life has to be undergone as a kind of penance. There are a few who think it tolerable; a few in easy circumstances may think it comfortable; but few thoroughly enjoy it, or regard it as a great blessing; and I doubt if there be any who heartily return thanks to the Giver of all life for having bestowed it upon them. How is it that men do not enjoy more this world There must be a cause. The principal reason is, that men are not trained to lead a successful life, are not started on their journey with the conviction that if all men cannot succeed, few, if any, need fail if they know their business thoroughly, and work indefatigably and thriftily at it. Men are not taught in such a manner that their in telligence perceives that honesty is the only policy, and that, unless morality be the guiding spirit and the controlling power of their actions, they may attain success, but it will be of uncertain tenure, and bring remorse instead of happiness. Money, its Object and value, should be taught at school; the wise and thrifty spirit of God's government of the universe be clearly indicated, and the misery and waste in human ad'airs whenever mankind acts upon expediency instead of adhering strictly to principle. It should be carefully explained to all why individuals and nations have advanced from barbarism to civilization; the value Of capital, of the middle class; by what means the individual or the nation has Obtained a supremacy, and how the same is to be retained. The people are not happy - fail instead of succeeding - because they lack what Goethe asked for in his last words, More light. Never, perhaps, at any period was it more necessary that men should be taught how to make the best of their talents - how to use them to the best advantage; how to avoid alike the misuse or abuse of them. To succeed in life now, you must be no dreamer, but under stand what you have to do, and do it thoroughly. Study the age you live in, but more especially the people upon whose support your success in life depends; ascertain their needs, and skilfully adapt yourself to supply them. Be supported because you do things well, better than others; so that you keep your own self-respect and gain the respect of your patrons. To benefit the masses, we must put before them an object in life; they must be made to understand that it is possible for them, one and all, to progress, to get on in the world, if they once have a fixed resolve to advance mentally, morally, and socially. By teacher, pastor, and lecturer, it must be proved to them what can be done by persistent industry and thoughtful thrift. They must be taught to think. But the first thing is to make them see - to love the light, and resolve to have it. All classes need a clearer vision, a sight that can peer through the darkness that envelope them, to be free of prejudices. I would have men so trained that sinecures, pensions, feudal privileges, bankrupts, criminals, drunkards, wasted lives of all kinds, would gradually die away, because of man's own disgust of, and contempt for, such weak specimens of human nature.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Montaigne written by Michel de Montaigne and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NYRB Classics Original Shakespeare, Nietzsche wrote, was Montaigne’s best reader—a typically brilliant Nietzschean insight, capturing the intimate relationship between Montaigne’s ever-changing record of the self and Shakespeare’s kaleidoscopic register of human character. And there is no doubt that Shakespeare read Montaigne—though how extensively remains a matter of debate—and that the translation he read him in was that of John Florio, a fascinating polymath, man-about-town, and dazzlingly inventive writer himself. Florio’s Montaigne is in fact one of the masterpieces of English prose, with a stylistic range and felicity and passages of deep lingering music that make it comparable to Sir Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy and the works of Sir Thomas Browne. This new edition of this seminal work, edited by Stephen Greenblatt and Peter G. Platt, features an adroitly modernized text, an essay in which Greenblatt discusses both the resemblances and real tensions between Montaigne’s and Shakespeare’s visions of the world, and Platt’s introduction to the life and times of the extraordinary Florio. Altogether, this book provides a remarkable new experience of not just two but three great writers who ushered in the modern world.
Download or read book Tell Me How It Ends written by Valeria Luiselli and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Part treatise, part memoir, part call to action, Tell Me How It Ends inspires not through a stiff stance of authority, but with the curiosity and humility Luiselli has long since established." —Annalia Luna, Brazos Bookstore "Valeria Luiselli's extended essay on her volunteer work translating for child immigrants confronts with compassion and honesty the problem of the North American refugee crisis. It's a rare thing: a book everyone should read." —Stephen Sparks, Point Reyes Books "Tell Me How It Ends evokes empathy as it educates. It is a vital contribution to the body of post-Trump work being published in early 2017." —Katharine Solheim, Unabridged Books "While this essay is brilliant for exactly what it depicts, it helps open larger questions, which we're ever more on the precipice of now, of where all of this will go, how all of this might end. Is this a story, or is this beyond a story? Valeria Luiselli is one of those brave and eloquent enough to help us see." —Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company "Appealing to the language of the United States' fraught immigration policy, Luiselli exposes the cracks in this foundation. Herself an immigrant, she highlights the human cost of its brokenness, as well as the hope that it (rather than walls) might be rebuilt." —Brad Johnson, Diesel Bookstore "The bureaucratic labyrinth of immigration, the dangers of searching for a better life, all of this and more is contained in this brief and profound work. Tell Me How It Ends is not just relevant, it's essential." —Mark Haber, Brazos Bookstore "Humane yet often horrifying, Tell Me How It Ends offers a compelling, intimate look at a continuing crisis—and its ongoing cost in an age of increasing urgency." —Jeremy Garber, Powell's Books
