Download or read book Testimony written by Solomon Volkov and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed classical composer chronicles his life and work in twentieth-century Soviet Russia with the help of a distinguished musicologist. Since the time of his death, Dmitri Shostakovich’s place in the pantheon of twentieth-century composers has become more commanding and more celebrated, while his musical legacy, with all its wonderfully varied richness, is performed with increasing frequency throughout the world. This seemingly endless surge of interest can be attributed, at least in part, to Testimony, the powerful memoirs the ailing compose dictated to the young Russian musicology Solomon Volkov. When Testimony was first published in the West in 1979, it became an international bestseller, and was called the “book of the year” by The Times in London. The Guardian heralded Testimony as “the most influential music book of the 20th century.” Testimony offers a chance to reckon with the life and work of one of history’s most lauded musical geniuses—as a man and an artist.

Download or read book Dimensions of Energy in Shostakovich s Symphonies written by Michael Rofe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shostakovich's music is often described as being dynamic, energetic. But what is meant by 'energy' in music? After setting out a broad conceptual framework for approaching this question, Michael Rofe proposes various potential sources of the perceived energy in Shostakovich's symphonies, describing also the historical significance of energeticist thought in Soviet Russia during the composer's formative years. The book is in two parts. In Part I, examples are drawn from across the symphonies in order to demonstrate energy streams within various musical dimensions. Three broad approaches are adopted: first, the theories of Boleslav Yavorsky are used to consider melodic-harmonic motion; second, Boris Asafiev's work, with its echoes of Ernst Kurth, is used to describe form as a dynamic process; and third, proportional analysis reveals numerous symmetries and golden sections within local and large-scale temporal structures. In Part II, the multi-dimensionality of musical energy is considered through case studies of individual movements from the symphonies. This in turn gives rise to broader contextualised perspectives on Shostakovich's work. The book ends with a detailed examination of why a piece of music might contain golden sections.

Book excerpt: "Piramidal, funesta, de la tierra nacida sombra" (Primero Sueño). Sor Juana y AntÃgona son dos voces que nacen de espacios cerrados y sombrÃos, el convento y la tumba. Construyen su identidad con la palabra y se rebelan contra la autoridad patriarcal que intenta anularlas y les niega un tiempo y un espacio para su autoafirmaciÃ3n. AntÃgona se rebela contra el poder polÃtico y Sor Juana contra el de la Iglesia. Su Carta atenagÃ3rica es el primer escrito teolÃ3gico en el que una mujer cuestiona las posturas de la Iglesia. Sor Juana y MarÃa Zambrano marcaron un camino que después siguieron otras escritoras.
