Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Chamber Music On the other side a high authority2 says: An ideally tuned scale is as much a dream as the philo sopher's stone, and no one who clearly understands the meaning Of Art wants it. And farther on he adds It will probably be a good many centuries before any new system is justified by such a mass of great artistic works as the one which the instincts Of our ancestors have gradually evolved for our advantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pianoforte and Chamber Music This special value consists in part in the refined and unfailing musical skill with which the composers have handled their slender material; but more in the quality of the music itself. The great works of chamber mu sic, no matter how profound, speak in the language of intimacy. They show no signs of the need to impress or overwhelm an audience. Perhaps no truly great music does. But operas and even symphonies must be written with more or less consideration for external circumstances, whereas in the smaller forms, com posers seem to be concerned only with the musical inspiration which they f eel the desire to express. They speak to an audience of understanding friends, as it were, before whom they may reveal themselves with out thought of the effectiveness of their speech. They seem in them to have consulted only their ideals. They have taken for granted the sympathetic attention of their audience.

Download or read book Chamber Music in American Schools Classic Reprint written by Charles W. Hughes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-23 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chamber Music in American Schools This is a study of chamber music, of the instruments used in playing it, of its social implications and of the part it can play in elementary and secondary schools. Since a fair test of a school sub jett may be made by noting the changes it is capable of producing in an individual, we may start by stating what a school child may reasonably be expected to gain from playing chamber music. In the following pages a large number of possible instrumental com himations are studied together with the music suitable to them. If we expose a child to music of this kind for a number of years, what will he have gained? Obviously we have given him another outlet, another way of expressing himself. Most schools provide many such channels. Among such outlets are creative writing, drawing and painting, engaging in crafts and the like. 'in a few schools children are taught to make music in small groups. In many schools they play and sing together in large groups, in chorus, orchestra, and band. The contribution which these larger groups make to individual development differs markedly from that made by participation in smaller groups. In the large chorus, each individual sings, but his voice blends with those of his fellows. He is not an isolated in dividual, but a participant in a group expression. The virtues of good chorus singers lie very largely in this willingness to merge themselves with the singing group, in the surrender of their musical will to that of the conductor. In the same way a good orchestral player accepts the conductor's conception of tempo, of shading. Of phrasing and, if he is a really effective player, forgets himself in the effort to realize the ideal of performance which the conductor is striving for. Such effort carries with it a feeling of identification with the group, of a common end which is its own reward. Expression in chamber music, however, is not a matter of masses but of individuals, and the kind of cooperation which it demands is of a freer more individual kind. Each instrument of the group has something to say in turn. While a good performance demands that each player subordinate himself at the right time.it also calls upon him to take the lead when his part has something of importance. In short, we may say that the emphasis in chamber music is rather on initiative and on individual intelligence while the larger groups depend to a greater extent on group cooperation.

Download or read book The Social Worlds of Nineteenth Century Chamber Music written by Marie Sumner Lott and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music played an important role in the social life of nineteenth-century Europe, and music in the home provided a convenient way to entertain and communicate among friends and colleagues. String chamber music, in particular, fostered social interactions that helped build communities within communities. Marie Sumner Lott examines the music available to musical consumers in the nineteenth century, and what that music tells us about their tastes, priorities, and activities. Her social history of chamber music performance places the works of canonic composers such as Schubert, Brahms, and Dvoøák in relation to lesser-known but influential peers. The book explores the dynamic relationships among the active agents involved in the creation of Romantic music and shows how each influenced the others' choices in a rich, collaborative environment. In addition to documenting the ways companies acquired and marketed sheet music, Sumner Lott reveals how the publication and performance of chamber music differed from that of ephemeral piano and song genres or more monumental orchestral and operatic works. Several distinct niche markets existed within the audience for chamber music, and composers created new musical works for their use and enjoyment. Insightful and groundbreaking, The Social Worlds of Nineteenth-Century Chamber Music revises prevailing views of middle-class influence on nineteenth-century musical style and presents new methods for interpreting the meanings of musical works for musicians both past and present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Chamber Music Berlioz, who, by the way, wrote no chamber music save a serenade for two flutes and harp ("L'Enfance du Christ"), in his imaginative fashion somewhere speculates as to which of his own works he would preserve if it were ordained that all except one should perish. In like manner, we may ask ourselves which of the great forms of musical composition we would plead for in case all the rest were doomed to destruction. Music for the orchestra, with its vivid colours, its strength and delicacy; the vast range of choral music; works for the organ, that huge modern plexus of pipe and reed; - these and others no doubt have strong claims on our musical affections. But, if forced to such a choice, it is certain that many a musician would, without hesitation, pledge himself to uphold the claims of Chamber music, for who can measure the almost infinite variety and charm which it affords, and that, too, with the slenderest means? Probably no other form of music would wear so well as this, and to hardly any other could we turn, day by day, with such abiding satisfaction.
