Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beethoven’s piano sonatas are a cornerstone of the piano repertoire and favourites of both the concert hall and recording studio. The sonatas have been the subject of much scholarship, but no single study gives an adequate account of the processes by which these sonatas were composed and published. With source materials such as sketches and correspondence increasingly available, the time is ripe for a close study of the history of these works. Barry Cooper, who in 2007 produced a new edition of all 35 sonatas, including three that are often overlooked, examines each sonata in turn, addressing questions such as: Why were they written? Why did they turn out as they did? How did they come into being and how did they reach their final form? Drawing on the composer’s sketches, autograph scores and early printed editions, as well as contextual material such as correspondence, Cooper explores the links between the notes and symbols found in the musical texts of the sonatas, and the environment that brought them about. The result is a biography not of the composer, but of the works themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is impossible to fully understand any composition that belongs to any epoch, either before or after Beethoven, if you do not proceed from Beethoven. [...] Only at the level that form had reached in the music of Beethoven could this form [...] reveal something which would unite the music before Beethoven with the music of today." This quote from Philip Herschkowitz (student of Alban Berg and Anton Webern and teacher of Dmitri Smirnov) forms the basis of Smirnov's study "The anatomy of theme in Beethoven's piano sonatas", Smirnov, himself a composer and musicologist from Russia, presents a "strong and clear definition" of the subject term based on this outdated and reserved for lovers of Beethoven, which in his opinion has so far been characterized by misunderstandings and contradictions. As with Berg, Webern and Herschkowitz, Smirnov's analytical methodology is based on Schoenberg. (Jan Wedekind ) This book investigates the anatomy of Theme-the foremost part of a musical organism, aiming to set out the principles of a strong and clear definition of this basic music term, and also to develop a detailed theory of its wider implications. It presents examination of Beethoven's piano sonatas based on the post-Webernian approach to musical form and in particular on the principles of the teaching of Philip Herschkowitz (1906-1989), one of the most important pupils of Alban Berg and Anton Webern. It includes a lot of references to Herschkowitz's works as well as a translation of his important essay to this particular subject: "Webern and His Teaching". It also uses some new methods of analysis, and includes a complete catalog of every theme found within the sonatas, with classification of more than 500 themes according to their intervallic typology.

Download or read book The Twelve Note Music of Anton Webern written by Kathryn Bailey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new study reassesses the position of Anton Webern in twentieth-century music. The twelve-note method of composition adopted by Anton Webern had profound consequences for composers of the next generation such as Stockhausen and Boulez, who saw Webern's music as revolutionary. In her detailed analyses, however, Professor Bailey demonstrates a fundamentally traditional aspect to Webern's creativity, when describing his own music. Professor Bailey analyses all Webern's twelve-note works (from Op. 17 to Op. 31) i.e. the instrumental and vocal music written between 1924 and 1943. These analyses draw on sketch material recently made available at the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel and include transcriptions of little-known drafts and sketches. A most valuable aspect of the book is the inclusion in appendices of such materials as a complete explanation of the row content of each work, the correct prime form of each of the rows from Op. 20 onwards, with a matrix constructed for each, and exhaustive row analyses.
