Download or read book Self Portrait with Russian Piano written by Wolf Wondratschek and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A legendary literary figure who initiated a one-man Beat Generation in his native Germany, Wolf Wondratschek “is eccentric, monomaniacal, romantic—his texts are imbued with a wonderful, reckless nonchalance.”* Now, he tells a story of a man looking back on his life in an honest Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man. Vienna is an uncanny, magical, and sometimes brutally alienating city. The past lives on in the cafes where lost souls come to kill time and hash over the bygone glories of the twentieth century—or maybe just a recent love affair. Here, in one of these cafes, an anonymous narrator meets a strange character, “like someone out of a novel”: a decrepit old Russian named Suvorin. A Soviet pianist of international renown, Suvorin committed career suicide when he developed a violent distaste for the sound of applause. This eccentric gentleman—sometimes charming, sometimes sulky, sometimes disconcertingly frank—knows the end of his life is approaching, and allows himself to be convinced to tell his life story. Over a series of coffee dates, punctuated by confessions, anecdotes, and rages—and by the narrator’s schemes to keep his quarry talking—a strained friendship develops between the two men, and it soon becomes difficult to tell who is more dependent on whom. Rhapsodic and melancholic, with shades of Vladimir Nabokov, W. G. Sebald, Hans Keilson, and Thomas Bernhard, Wolf Wondratschek's Self-Portrait with Russian Piano is a literary sonata circling the eternal question of whether beauty, music, and passion are worth the sacrifices some people are compelled to make for them. “A romantic in a madhouse. To let Wondratschek’s voice be drowned in the babble of today’s literature would be a colossal mistake.” —*Patrick Süskind, international bestselling author of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Download or read book The Political Orchestra written by Fritz Trümpi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a groundbreaking study of the prestigious Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics during the Third Reich. Making extensive use of archival material, including some discussed here for the first time, Fritz Trümpi offers new insight into the orchestras’ place in the larger political constellation. Trümpi looks first at the decades preceding National Socialist rule, when the competing orchestras, whose rivalry mirrored a larger rivalry between Berlin and Vienna, were called on to represent “superior” Austro-German music and were integrated into the administrative and social structures of their respective cities—becoming vulnerable to political manipulation in the process. He then turns to the Nazi period, when the orchestras came to play a major role in cultural policies. As he shows, the philharmonics, in their own unique ways, strengthened National Socialist dominance through their showcasing of Germanic culture in the mass media, performances for troops and the general public, and fictional representations in literature and film. Accompanying these propaganda efforts was an increasing politicization of the orchestras, which ranged from the dismissal of Jewish members to the programming of ideologically appropriate repertory—all in the name of racial and cultural purity. Richly documented and refreshingly nuanced, The Political Orchestra is a bold exploration of the ties between music and politics under fascism.
Download or read book Ranciere and Music written by Cachopo Joao Pedro Cachopo and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The place of music in Ranciere's thought has long been underestimated or unrecognised. This volume responds to this absence with a collection of 15 essays by scholars from a variety of music- and sound-related fields, including an Afterword by Ranciere on the role of music in his thought and writing. The essays engage closely with Ranciere's existing commentary on music and its relationship to other arts in the aesthetic regime, revealed through detailed case studies around music, sound and listening. Ranciere's thought is explored along a number of music-historical trajectories, including Italian and German opera, Romantic and modernist music, Latin American and South African music, jazz, and contemporary popular music. Ranciere's work is also set creatively in dialogue with other key contemporary thinkers including Adorno, Althusser, Badiou and Deleuze.

Book excerpt: Maybe Nate was right this whole time. Maybe nothing would change if he announced our relationship, only the number of people hating me. Maybe my need to officially be his girlfriend is caused by something entirely different than the wish to have everyone know he's mine. Maybe it's my last desperate attempt to save something that was broken long ago. "I don't want to talk. Not about us, not about the weather, not at all. What I want is for you to leave me alone," I tell him as I enter the lounge area on the upper deck. "Jay, please! We have to talk about this! You can't seriously expect me to leave like this, we have to talk this out, we have to find a solution!" He's feeling helpless, I hear it in his voice. But what I'm feeling is emptiness. Exhaustion. And not the slightest bit of interest in hearing any more meaningless promises. "I can’t, Nate, I'm so fucking tired of this." Sighing, I finally turn around to him. "You say you love me, right? Then please, if you really love me, go. Leave me alone, I'm begging you!" The devastation in his eyes takes my breath away, it tells me he can sense it too. Maybe this is how it all ends. Our love. Our friendship. Us. Six months have passed since Jay and Nate reunited. Six months of getting to know each other again, to fall in love again, well protected by the comfort of being home. But tour break is over now, it's time for Nate to get back on the road. Back to his life as the lead singer of the British rock band Devil's Entourage. Music, concerts, and the most beautiful places of Europe await them, but so do fangirls, rumours, and the watchful eyes of the public. Will their love still flourish when it's faced with jealousy and misunderstandings? And will Jay be strong enough to handle living a life in public?
