  • Author : Mark Katz
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2006-02-09
  • ISBN : 1135576963
  • Pages : 423 pages

Download or read book The Violin written by Mark Katz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-02-09 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The violin was first mentioned in a book in the sixteenth century. An abundant and diverse literature on the instrument has grown since then, and a complete general guide to these materials has not been produced in the modern era. The last, Edward Heron-Allen's De Fidiculis Bibliographia , was published in1894. This book fills that void, organizing and annotating information on the violin from a variety of fields and sources. It provides a comprehensive, though selective, guide to all facets of the instrument. The book is divided into 4 main parts: Reference and General Studies; Acoustics and Construction; Violin Playing, Performance Practice, and Music; and Violinists, Composers, and Violin Teachers. It will serve as a ready reference for students and scholars, and is a welcome addition to the esteemed Routledge Music Bibliography series.

Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the spatio-temporal experience of listening to music, particularly the narrative impact of musical return, taking Claude Debussy's late works as case studies. These works mark a decisive break with traditional practices in harmonic composition; and as such, they prove evasive under traditional analytical practices of music theory, which often presume a teleological musical narrative. To form an approach to musical analysis consistent with these works' non-linearities, I turn to the metaphysics of post-structuralist philosopher Gilles Deleuze. His immanentist philosophical perspective offers a relief from the transcendentalism that pervades current music-analytical practices. In particular, a Deleuzean perspective provides the tools with which to question assumed notions of musical spatiality, temporality, and, ultimately, narrativity by suggesting a schizoanalytical model of thought. Four select works of Debussy - Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp (1915), Cello Sonata (1915), Violin Sonata (1916), and "Éventail" from Trois Poémes de Mallarmé (1913) - feature in this project. Chapter 1 explores Deleuze's notion of territorialization to discuss notions of abstract spatiality in musical listening by way of analyzing Pastorale from the Trio Sonata, arguing that musical return poses a productive problem for the listener. Chapter 2 surveys cyclic return in all three of Debussy's late Sonatas and, using the notion of a time-image from Deleuze's cinematic theory, discusses the temporal impact of this return vis-à-vis montage. In Chapter 3, I espouse a Deleuzian theory of thought based on the philosopher's notion of folding and suggest that Debussy's "Éventail" models this notion on the scale of musical return while also rendering it in large-scale allegory. These case studies propose that listening to these works is a dynamic, ever-changing process. Approaching Debussy's late works from a Deleuzian perspective enables us to avoid a priori notions of how these works should be received by a listener and instead explores how they might be

Download or read book Debussy s Late Style written by Marianne Wheeldon and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debussy's Late Style explores Claude Debussy's musical responses to World War I. This period of composition encompasses the duration of the war and the last four years of Debussy's life. The works that emerged during this time reflect both wartime events and the composer's self-conscious desire to define his own musical legacy as he felt his life nearing its end. Debussy's complete wartime compositions comprise a small but significant body of works, some little known and some now acknowledged to be among the masterpieces of his career. These include the Berceuse héroïque, En Blanc et noir, the Douze Études, the "Noël des enfants qui n'ont plus de maisons," and the three instrumental sonatas (the Cello Sonata; the Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp; and the Violin Sonata). Through music analysis, musicology, and cultural history, this study offers interpretive readings of Debussy's late works, focusing in particular on how they reflect the unique cultural milieu of wartime Paris.

Book excerpt: An innovative contribution to Scriabin studies, covering aspects of Scriabin''s life, personality, beliefs, training, creative output, and interaction with contemporary Russian culture.This book is an innovative contribution to Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) studies, covering aspects of Scriabin''s life, personality, beliefs, training, creative output, as well as his interaction with contemporary Russian culture. It offers new and original research from leading and upcoming Russian music scholars. Key Scriabin topics such as mysticism, philosophy, music theory, contemporary aesthetics, and composition processes are covered. Musical coverage spans the composer''s early, middle and late period. All main repertoire is being discussed: the piano miniatures and sonatas as well as the symphonies. In more detail, chapters consider: Scriabin''s part in early twentieth-century Russia''s cultural climate; how Scriabin moved from early pastiche to a style much more original; the influence of music theory on Scriabin''s idiosyncratic style; the changing contexts of Scriabin performances; new aspects of reception studies. Further chapters offer: a critical understanding of how Scriabin''s writings sit within the traditions of Mysticism as well as French and Russian Symbolism; a new investigation into his creative compositional process; miniaturism and its wider context; a new reading of the composer''s mysticism and synaesthesia. Analytical chapters reach out of the score to offer an interpretative framework; accepting new approaches from disability studies; investigating the complex interaction of rhythm and metre and modal interactions, the latent diatonic ''tonal function'' of Scriabin''s late works, as well as self-regulating structures in the composer''s music.ncratic style; the changing contexts of Scriabin performances; new aspects of reception studies.

Book Music of the Twentieth Century

Download or read book Music of the Twentieth Century written by Ton de Leeuw and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ton de Leeuw was a truly groundbreaking composer. As evidenced by his pioneering study of compositional methods that melded Eastern traditional music with Western musical theory, he had a profound understanding of the complex and often divisive history of twentieth-century music. Now his renowned chronicle Music of the Twentieth Century is offered here in a newly revised English-language edition. Music of the Twentieth Century goes beyond a historical survey with its lucid and impassioned discussion of the elements, structures, compositional principles, and terminologies of twentieth-century music. De Leeuw draws on his experience as a composer, teacher, and music scholar of non-European music traditions, including Indian, Indonesian, and Japanese music, to examine how musical innovations that developed during the twentieth century transformed musical theory, composition, and scholarly thought around the globe.
