Download or read book Musical Improvisation in the Baroque Era written by Fulvia Morabito and published by Speculum Musicae. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Baroque period there is a large discrepancy between sound entity and musical notation. In a context where the musical tradition, handwritten and printed, at times suggests the possible execution of a passage, at times indicates a specific mode of execution often adapted by the ability of the performer or the musical occasion, the margin for improvisation is wide. The in-depth and possibly comparative study of musical sources, their historical contextualization, their evaluation on the basis of documentary and theoretical testimonies, allows us to shed light on the real aural rendering of the synthetic written page. This volume aims to investigate the role and forms of improvisation in Baroque music under many of its multifaceted aspects, in a study that will define the links between creative process and executive practice.

Download or read book Ornamentation in Baroque and Post Baroque Music with Special Emphasis on J S Bach written by Frederick Neumann and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ornaments play an enormous role in the music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and ambiguities in their notation (as well as their frequent omission in the score) have left doubt as to how composers intended them to be interpreted. Frederick Neumann, himself a violinist and conductor, questions the validity of the rigid principles applied to their performance. In this controversial work, available for the first time in paperback, he argues that strict constraints are inconsistent with the freedom enjoyed by musicians of the period. The author takes an entirely new look at ornamentation, and particularly that of J. S. Bach. He draws on extensive research in England, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States to show that prevailing interpretations are based on inadequate evidence. These restrictive interpretations have been far-reaching in their effect on style. By questioning them, this work continues to stimulate a reorientation in our understandiing of Baroque and post-Baroque music.

Download or read book Jean Baptiste Lully and the Music of the French Baroque written by James R. Anthony and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-02-09 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays on Jean-Baptiste Lully and his musical legacy honours the distinguished French baroque scholar James R. Anthony. Jean-Baptiste Lully, court composer to Louis XIV, served as the principal architect of what would become known as the French style of music in the baroque era. The style he created strongly influenced the great musical figures in England (Purcell and Handel) and Germany (Bach and Telemann), but Lully's music itself has received little attention. Recently, through the efforts of scholars and musicians concerned with the performance practices of Lully's time, Lully's own music has begun to come alive in performance and recording. These essays, all by important baroque specialists, cover significant aspects of Lully's life and works and the French tradition he influenced. They constitute the first post-war collection of studies centred on Lully and form a fitting tribute to Professor Anthony whose own French baroque music provided a stimulus for the work of an emerging generation of scholars.

Download or read book Baroque Music written by Claude V. Palisca and published by Pearson. This book was released on 1991 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites the reader to study with ear and eye some typical examples of the music of the baroque period. Is is not a comprehensive survey or a gallery of the most famous composers and their works. Certain important figures are hardly named, while others lesser known are treated at length, and this goes also for the various categories of composition. The emphasis is upon giving the reader an entry into the most significant manners of composition through concrete examples. The reader will gain a method of approaching the principle styles and genres, keys to intimate understanding and further exploration. The approach to analysis is based as much as possible on criteria and terminology common in the baroque period. -- from Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For professional and amateur musicians who want to perform the music of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann, and other composers of the period, Baroque Music provides a clear, readable guide to the standard repertoire - and more - examining more of the major Baroque works in detail than any other book ever published. With wit and clarity, Victor Rangel-Ribeiro draws on the writings of C.P.E. Bach, J.J. Quantz, G.P. Telemann, Francesco Geminiani, Leopold Mozart, and Giuseppe Tartini to offer advice to instrumentalists, singers, and conductors seeking to cope with the difficult aspects of eighteenth-century German, Italian, and English Baroque masterworks. Baroque Music shows how to: interpret Baroque ornaments; provide ornamentation where composers provide only a bare melody; accompany from a 'figured bass'; apply Baroque performance practices to the works of individual composers; synthesize and apply knowledge of Baroque music to bring freshness to works in the standard repertoire, as well as to works that may be less familiar. Moving from relatively simple material to more complex works, the performer is continually made aware of the effects of chronology and national milieu on performance and is encouraged to apply all the knowledge he or she acquires directly to the music being performed."--Publisher's description.
