Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Where Speech Ends: A Music Maker's Romance But silence alone would not have healed and restored his spirit. It needed something more than the absence of harsh and brutal and meaningless noise to satisfy him; it needed the presence of melody and harmony: tones meas ured, ordered and restrained; varied and blended not by chance, but by feeling and reason; sound expressive of the secret life and the rhythmical emotion of the human heart. And this he found flowing all around him, entering deeply into him, filling all the parch ed and empty channels of his being, as he lis tened to Beethoven's great Symphony in C Minor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Musical World, Vol. 36: January 2, 1858 We can no longer write like Bach and Handel we cannot do so, from deficiency on the one hand, and superfluity on the other. We are wanting in the creative wer to inspire, as they did, purely intellectual forms; an perhaps, too, in that trusting belief in the spirit which actuated these heroes when engaged in the task of creation. On the other hand, Haydn, osart, and, above all, Beethoven, have 0 ned for us the romantic domain of music in a manner of w ich the old authors had no notion, and the direction thus given to music has, in its turn, produced an abundance of musical means to which we are now so accustomed, that not to employ such a mine of wealth has become a perfect impossibility.

Download or read book Chopin and Other Musical Essays Classic Reprint written by Henry Theophilus Finck and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chopin and Other Musical Essays Leipsic, the centre of the world's music trade, ex. Ports about one hundred thousand dollars' worth of music to America every year. I do not know how much of this sum is to be placed to the account of Chopin, but a leading music dealer in New York told me that he sold three times as many of Chopin's com positions as of any other romantic or classical com poser. This seems to indicate that Chopin is popu lar. Nevertheless, I believe that what Liszt wrote in 1850, a year after the death of Chopin - that his fame was not yet as great as it would be in the fut ure - is as true to-day as it was forty years ago. Chopin's reputation has been constantly growing, and yet many of his deepest and most poetic com positions are almost unknown to amateurs, not tc speak of the public at large. A few of his least characteristic pieces are heard in every parlor, gen erally in a wofully mutilated condition, but some of his most inspired later works I have never heard played either in private or in the concert hall.

Download or read book Serial Techniques in the Recent Music of Igor Stravinsky Classic Reprint written by David Ward-Steinman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Serial Techniques in the Recent Music of Igor Stravinsky After the finede-siecle dost-romantic dilemma, music split into two broad streams--the out-and-out chromaticism of the Viennese school which continued the post-romantic tradition, and the pandiatonic/polyharmonic school that broke with it. No man was more responsible for the break than Igor Stravinsky, who has become one of the chief bell-wethers of twentieth century music. Long considered diametrically Opposed to the Schoenbergian school, when Stravinsky a few years ago was discovered to have adopted serial techniques, the musical world, for the most part, reacted with shock and incredulity on the one hand, and with cynicism and amusement on the other. Strangely, the most significant fact of all was generally overlooked, namely, that Stravinsky's serial 'music still sounded unmistakably like Stravinsky, and not at all like any of the serial music of the Viennese school. Moreover, it was still firmly grounded in tonality--s seeming contradiction in terms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Modernism-Its Connection With Music, Cyril Scott: The Man, and His Works N ow, as everybody who studies the aesthetics of art must know, there were until lately two distinct schools of thought, the Classic, just referred to, being one, and the Romantic, its antithesis, being the other; but at the end of last century a third came into being, which its votaries christened the Futuristic, though the term is somewhat ambiguous, as we shall have occasion to see later. As to the first, our simile has attempted to show it must lead to creative stagnation, and to nowhere beyond, for it may be regarded as a species of pharisaism in art, a petty adherence to rule and letter, ignoring the true spirit; the value of originality, individuality, and self-expression in its highest sense. In a word, it may be described as a profane contentment, because it is the enemy of divine evolution, and should it vanquish its opponents, which, of course, it never can do, then no more could a masterpiece be created in the world of art. The truth is, classicalism is based, at any rate in music, upon a gigantic misconception - the misconception that any great genius was ever Classical in Ms day.

Download or read book The Romantic World of Puccini written by Iris J. Arnesen and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giacomo Puccini, composer of some of the world's most popular operas, including La Boheme, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly, was also a highly literary person who based his librettos on existing works of literature. This work explores that literary inheritance in an effort to enhance the listener's appreciation of the operatic experience. The author argues that the majority of Puccini's operas compose a grand cycle that finds its roots in the romance genre of 12th century France, serving to celebrate the strong, independent heroine. Via a close examination of the source works, the librettos, and the scores, this book offers fresh perspective on Puccini's legacy.
Download or read book The Penguin Book of Romantic Poetry written by Jonathan Wordsworth and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-05-26 with total page 1044 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Romanticism that emerged after the American and French revolutions of 1776 and 1789 represented a new flowering of the imagination and the spirit, and a celebration of the soul of humanity with its capacity for love. This extraordinary collection sets the acknowledged genius of poems such as Blake's 'Tyger', Coleridge's 'Khubla Khan' and Shelley's 'Ozymandias' alongside verse from less familiar figures and women poets such as Charlotte Smith and Mary Robinson. We also see familiar poets in an unaccustomed light, as Blake, Wordsworth and Shelley demonstrate their comic skills, while Coleridge, Keats and Clare explore the Gothic and surreal.

Download or read book Reclaiming Late Romantic Music written by Peter Franklin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some of the most beloved and frequently performed works of the late-romantic periodÑMahler, Delius, Debussy, Sibelius, PucciniÑregarded by many critics as perhaps not quite of the first rank? Why has modernist discourse continued to brand these works as overly sentimental and emotionally self-indulgent? Peter Franklin takes a close and even-handed look at how and why late-romantic symphonies and operas steered a complex course between modernism and mass culture in the period leading up to the Second World War. The styleÕs continuing popularity and its domination of the film music idiom (via work by composers such as Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and their successors) bring late-romantic music to thousands of listeners who have never set foot in a concert hall. Reclaiming Late-Romantic Music sheds new light on these often unfairly disparaged works and explores the historical dimension of their continuing role in the contemporary sound world.
Download or read book Classical and Romantic Performing Practice 1750 1900 written by Clive Brown and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-20 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past ten years have seen a rapidly growing interest in performing and recording Classical and Romantic music with period instruments; yet the relationship of composers' notation to performing practices during that period has received only sporadic attention from scholars, and many aspects of composers' intentions have remained uncertain. Brown here identifies areas in which musical notation conveyed rather different messages to the musicians for whom it was written than it does to modern performers, and seeks to look beyond the notation to understand how composers might have expected to hear their music realized in performance. There is ample evidence to demonstrate that, in many respects, the sound worlds in which Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, and Brahms created their music were more radically different from ours than is generally assumed.
