This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Twentieth-Century Music in a Theoretic-Analytical Context is an integrated account of the genres and concepts of twentieth-century art music, organized topically according to aesthetic, stylistic, technical, and geographic categories, and set within the larger political, social, economic, and cultural framework. While the organization is topical, it is historical within that framework. Musical issues interwoven with political, cultural, and social conditions have had a significant impact on the course of twentieth-century musical tendencies and styles. The goal of this book is to provide a theoretic-analytical basis that will appeal to those instructors who want to incorporate into student learning an analysis of the musical works that have reflected cultural influences on the major musical phenomena of the twentieth century. Focusing on the wide variety of theoretical issues spawned by twentieth-century music, A History of Twentieth-Century Music in a Theoretic-Analytical Context reflects the theoretical/analytical essence of musical structure and design.

Download or read book Nielsen Hindemith and Schoenberg written by Karen R. Moses and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on a repertoire that established the twentieth-century wind quintet. This new genre is anchored on three canonic wind quintets written between 1922 and 1924: the Kvintet op. 43 of Carl Nielsen, Paul Hindemith's Kleine Kammermusik op. 24, no 2, and the Bläserquintett op. 26 by Arnold Schoenberg. Nielsen's score for the men in the Copenhagen Wind Quintet, confirmed in reminiscence by Svend Felumb, shows idiosyncratic instrumental and novel performer characterizations, as it expands instrumental range and timbre. His narrative and temporal program, with its anthropomorphic characterizations, opened a new world of rich color and expressive articulation. The Kleine Kammermusik demonstrates Hindemith's quest for a social and musical democracy with its melodic and textural teamwork. The quintet reveals new instrumental timbres, an expanded emotional range, novel textural combinations, and instrumental virtuosity based on strong motoric movement. Schoenberg's op. 26 stands as a laboratory for his twelve-tone technique, and as the presentation piece for his new theoretical system. With its formidable technical demands and arduous instrumental interactions, Schoenberg magnified the conventional limits of early twentieth-century technique and facility, anticipating and telegraphing a new instrumental virtuosity for the future. Correspondence in the Arnold Schoenberg Collection, Library of Congress, between Schoenberg and Alban Berg, Anton Webern, Hindemith, Paul Hagemann, Paul von Klenau, Alexander von Zemlinsky, Felix Greissle, Rudolf Kolisch, and Hermann Scherchen, reveals little-known connections between the Kvintet, the Kleine Kammermusik, and Op. 26. Letters by Berg to his wife reveal the unexplored connection between Schoenberg's Op. 26 and Berg's Chamber Concerto, originally intended as a work for the Copenhagen Wind Quintet. Premieres, performances, and reviews from Danish, German, French, and American newspapers provide historical context and contemporary perceptions. Analysis reveals remarkable and unrecognized commonalities between Nielsen's and Hindemith's quintets, with that of Schoenberg's Op. 26. Nielsen, Hindemith, and Schoenberg contributed to defining what is now recognized as one of the most important developments in the history of twentieth-century wind music--the renaissance of the wind quintet--as they raised and ennobled the genre, ensuring its continuation into the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A concise guide linking the history of trumpet to performance . . . includes information on band music, bugle calls, orchestral repertoire, and jazz.” —American Reference Books Annual Unlike the violin, which has flourished largely unchanged for close to four centuries, the trumpet has endured numerous changes in design and social status from the battlefield to the bandstand and ultimately to the concert hall. This colorful past is reflected in the arsenal of instruments a classical trumpeter employs during a performance, sometimes using no fewer than five in different keys and configurations to accurately reproduce music from the past. With the rise in historically inspired performances comes the necessity for trumpeters to know more about their instrument’s heritage, its repertoire, and different performance practices for old music on new and period-specific instruments. More than just a history of the trumpet, this essential reference book is a comprehensive guide for musicians who bring that musical history to life. “A compendium of trumpet history with short, fact-filled chapters. It will serve both amateur and professional musicians alike, and few could read this text without learning something. Fanfares and Finesse is a thorough sampling of trumpet topics, including something of interest for every trumpet player, brass enthusiast, or curious reader.” —Pan Pipes “Trumpet players in a wide variety of situations and at many levels will find a great deal of useful information, presented in a clear, engaging, reader-friendly way yet backed by solid research. While some topics are covered in more depth than others, Koehler’s breadth of vision and thoroughness are commendable . . . For all trumpeters and anyone who teaches them.” —Choice

This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...
