Download or read book Aspects of Harpsichord Making in the British Isles written by Darryl Martin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the four decades since the publication of Frank Hubbard's classic Three Centuries of Harpsichord Making (1965), with its masterly survey of the Italian, Flemish, French, German, and English schools, most further research has been directed toward the European continent. This volume of The Historical Harpsichord is intended to redress that imbalance. With close attention to technical detail, Darryl Martin examines the extant English harpsichords produced in the critical period of transition between the earlier seventeenth century, best known for virginal making, and the Georgian era in which harpsichord making was dominated by the London firms of Shudi and Kirckman. Jenny Nex and Lance Whitehead describe and place into context the oeuvre of Saxon-born Ferdinand Weber (1715-1784), one of the few Georgian makers who could stand on his own, albeit at some remove from London, in Dublin.

Download or read book Keyboard Instruments in Eighteenth century Vienna written by C. R. F. Maunder and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although eighteenth-century Viennese keyboard music, especially by such composers as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, is among the most popular ever written, there has been surprisingly little serious research into the instruments for which it was composed. This book fills that gap. Based on evidence from primary source material, much of it previously undiscovered or neglected, Maunder traces the history and development of the various keyboard instruments available in Vienna throughout the eighteenth century--harpsichords, clavichords, and pianos--and their use by composers and performers.

Download or read book Arts Sciences and Economics written by Tönu Puu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the economic aspects of changing attitudes in arts and sciences. The effects of the public good character of culture, along with the very long production period and lifetime for its products, are emphasized, since both contribute to the failure of normal market solutions. Embodiment of ideas and the consequences of modern reproduction technology for protection of property rights are closely examined. The evolution within arts and sciences, which often seems to return to previously scrapped ideals, is illustrated by detailed case studies, in which the importance of changing tastes, rather than progress proper, is emphasized. The author attempts an understanding for this using Darwinian evolution in combination with modern mathematical complexity theory, expressed in terms accessible to the general reader. The second edition is extended and updated especially as regards the illustration material.
