Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A major contribution . . . not only to Puccini studies but also to the study of nineteenth-century Italian opera in general.” —Nineteenth-Century Music Review In this groundbreaking survey of the fundamentals, methods, and formulas that were taught at Italian music conservatories during the 19th Century, Nicholas Baragwanath explores the compositional significance of tradition in Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Boito, and, most importantly, Puccini. Taking account of some 400 primary sources, Baragwanath explains the varying theories and practices of the period in light of current theoretical and analytical conceptions of this music. The Italian Traditions and Puccini offers a guide to an informed interpretation and appreciation of Italian opera by underscoring the proximity of archaic traditions to the music of Puccini. “Dense and challenging in its detail and analysis, this work is an important addition to the growing corpus of Puccini studies. . . . Highly recommended.” —Choice

Download or read book Musical Improvisation and Open Forms in the Age of Beethoven written by Gianmario Borio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improvisation was a crucial aspect of musical life in Europe from the late eighteenth century through to the middle of the nineteenth, representing a central moment in both public occasions and the private lives of many artists. Composers dedicated themselves to this practice at length while formulating the musical ideas later found at the core of their published works; improvisation was thus closely linked to composition itself. The full extent of this relation can be inferred from both private documents and reviews of concerts featuring improvisations, while these texts also inform us that composers quite often performed in public as both improvisers and interpreters of pieces written by themselves or others. Improvisations presented in concert were distinguished by a remarkable degree of structural organisation and complexity, demonstrating performers’ consolidated abilities in composition as well as their familiarity with the rules for improvising outlined by theoreticians.

This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 901 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the dense networks created by diplomatic relationships between European courts and aristocratic households in the early modern age, with the emphasis on celebratory events and the circulation of theatrical plots and practitioners promoted by political and diplomatic connections. The offices of plenipotentiary ministers were often outposts providing useful information about cultural life in foreign countries. Sometimes the artistic strategies defined through the exchanges of couriers were destined to leave a legacy in the history of arts, especially of music and theatre. Ministers favored or promoted careers, described or made pieces of repertoire available to new audiences, and even supported practitioners in their difficult travels by planning profitable tours. They stood behind extraordinary artists and protected many stage performers with their authority, while carefully observing and transmitting precious information about the cultural and musical life of the countries where they resided.

This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maria Adelaide Bartoli Bacherini (1935-2014) è stata bibliotecaria, musicologa, promotrice di concerti e mostre dedicate alla musica. Fondò nel 1968 e diresse fino al 2002 la Sala Musica della Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze, un punto di riferimento fondamentale per la ricerca musicologica unico all'epoca in Italia – e rimasto tale – nell'ambito delle biblioteche pubbliche statali. Grazie al suo impegno, il patrimonio della Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze si è arricchito di importati fondi musicali, come gli autografi di Ildebrando Pizzetti, le collezioni di Luigi Dallapiccola, Massimo Mila e Gisella Selden-Goth, nonché i manoscritti e i carteggi di Spartaco Copertini. Nel 2002 è stata insignita della medaglia di bronzo ai benemeriti della cultura e dell'arte dal Presidente della Repubblica. I saggi contenuti nel presente volume, promosso dalla figlia Cecilia e dall’Istituto Italiano per la Storia della Musica, vogliono omaggiare Maria Adelaide per l'impegno profuso nella tutela e nella valorizzazione del patrimonio musicale italiano e, più in generale, nell'approfondimento storico-critico della cultura musicale, specialmente attraverso la ricerca sulle fonti archivistiche e documentarie.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lungo le acque del Mississippi scorrono vite diverse e affascinanti. La Louisiana di fine Ottocento è una terra di contrasti: vi si alternano inglese e francese, la schiavitù è stata abolita ma la segregazione è radicata nella società, città che paiono copie di quelle europee sono attraversate dalle culture creola e afroamericana. Così, nei racconti di Kate Chopin, ambientati in questi luoghi, si consumano amori felici e infelici, soprusi e storie di riscatto personale.
