Download or read book The Origin of Musical Instruments written by André Schaeffner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of French musicologist, ethnologist and critic Andre Schaeffner (1895- 1980) grew out of his first organological studies of the history of Western classical instruments in the late 1920s and encapsulated in his wide-ranging Origine des instruments de musique, which captures his studies in Paris between 1931 and 1936. Almost 80 years after its first publication, the scientific relevance and influence of Schaeffner's primary hypothesis--that the origins of music can be traced to the human body through gesture, dance and the movements in the use of musical instruments and their ancestor tools--remains pertinent in fields which have returned to informed speculative and empirical research on the origins of music. This first English edition is accompanied by editorial footnotes and introductory texts, and the influence of Schaeffner's thought on several generations of musicologists makes his work an essential piece of reading for ethnomusicologists, music psychologists, organologists and musicologists interested in the history of their field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The contributors to this volume examine musical instrument collectors and their reasons and means for collecting: Who were they professionally and personally? Why did they collect musical instruments? How did they acquire their objects? What were their collecting criteria and aesthetics? Following a critical introduction, two chapters on historically overlooked yet essential themes - provenance, and collecting in the context of colonialism - lay the foundation for nineteen chapters, each on an individual collector, telling personal and individual stories of collecting and collections. These narratives illuminate a rich contextual history, including the factors that shaped each collector's acquisition and use of objects. Because many private collections later became the mainstay of institutional ones, this volume holds that it is essential to understand these collectors and historical collecting practices, in order to understand our museum collections today. The book will be of interest to scholars working in material culture, collecting and museum studies, music history, and organology"--
