Brahms and His World Princeton University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Since its first publication in 1990, "Brahms and His World" has become a key text for listeners, performers, and scholars interested in the life, work, and times of one of the nineteenth century's most celebrated composers. In this substantially revised and enlarged edition, the editors remain close to the vision behind the original book while updating its contents to reflect new perspectives on Brahms that have developed over the past two decades. To this end, the original essays by leading experts are retained and revised, and supplemented by contributions from a new generation of Brahms scholars. Together, they consider such topics as Brahms' relationship with Clara and Robert Schumann, his musical interactions with the 'New German School' of Wagner and Liszt, his influence upon Arnold Schoenberg and other young composers, his approach to performing his own music, and his productive interactions with visual artists.The essays are complemented by a new selection of criticism and analyses of Brahms' works published by the composer's contemporaries, documenting the ways in which Brahms' music was understood by nineteenth - and early twentieth-century audiences in Europe and North America. A new selection of memoirs by Brahms' friends, students, and early admirers provides intimate glimpses into the composer's working methods and personality. And a catalog of the music, literature, and visual arts dedicated to Brahms documents the breadth of influence exerted by the composer upon his contemporaries.

Alban Berg and His World Princeton University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Alban Berg and His World is a collection of essays and source material that repositions Berg as the pivotal figure of Viennese musical modernism. His allegiance to the austere rigor of Arnold Schoenberg's musical revolution was balanced by a lifelong devotion to the warm sensuousness of Viennese musical tradition and a love of lyric utterance, the emotional intensity of opera, and the expressive nuance of late-Romantic tonal practice. The essays in this collection explore the specific qualities of Berg's brand of musical modernism, and present newly translated letters and documents that illuminate his relationship to the politics and culture of his era. Of particular significance are the first translations of Berg's newly discovered stage work Night (Nocturne), Hermann Watznauer's intimate account of Berg's early years, and the famous memorial issue of the music periodical 23.Contributors consider Berg's fascination with palindromes and mirror images and their relationship to notions of time and identity; the Viennese roots of his distinctive orchestral style; his links to such Viennese contemporaries as Alexander Zemlinsky, Franz Schreker, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold; and his attempts to maneuver through the perilous shoals of gender, race, and fascist politics. The contributors are Antony Beaumont, Leon Botstein, Regina Busch, Nicholas Chadwick, Mark DeVoto, Douglas Jarman, Sherry Lee, and Margaret Notley.

Brilliant Opera Collections: Pfitzner: Palestrina - Staatskapelle Berlin, Chor der Deutschen Staatsoper Berlin, Otmar Suitner (Płyta CD)

Książki & Multimedia > Muzyka

Opis - Hans Pfitzner"s musical legend Palestrina was first performed during the height of the First World War, a period when sensitive minds such as Pfitzner"s felt uneasy about the cultural scene of bourgeois society. Even then, when the headlong descent into Nazi tyranny was still a long way off, the composer saw himself as an artist representing an era that was rapidly drawing to its close. He therefore projected his own situation onto the historical personality of the 16th-century composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, who was credited with saving the art of contrapuntal church music during the Council of Trent. Like all artists, the composer treated the facts rather freely to suit his own artistic intentions. He recycles thematic material from Palestrina"s Missa Papae Marcelli, the work that allegedly settled the argument back in the uncertain days of the 16th century, after the upset of Martin Luther. As the librettist as well as composer, Pfitzner certainly moulds the truth to suit his own situation, and he backs up his artistic licence with some solemn, powerful and audaciously pastiche music, imbued with archaisms borrowed from Palestrina and his contemporaries. He adds to these Wagnerian motifs, such as the bells that symbolise the Catholic Church. Pfitzner portrays a composer who refuses to allow his music to be abused for bolstering the power of the Church. Palestrina"s crisis, brought on by the loss of his office, his faith and his wife, as well as by the new style emanating from Florence, reflects the crisis of Pfitzner"s own world in which art is needed only to preserve the existing order, not to seek out new horizons. This dramatic opera was recorded live in the Schauspielhaus, Berlin, giving it a powerful sense of space and atmosphere. Otmar Suitner is a conductor of great experience and sympathy with the work, and the title role is played by Peter Schreier who "sings with great intelligence, deep expression and care for words, and with the slightly piercing, fundamentally German tenor sound for which the role was surely conceived" (Gramophone). First performed in 1917 in Munich (conducted by Bruno Walter), Pfitzner"s opera on the great 16th-century composer Palestrina became popular with those in German musical society who had become hostile to the direction which Schoenberg and Busoni had taken. Composed in "traditional" late romantic style it has a particularly Wagnerian flavour, a kind of catholic "Meistersinger" with hints of Palestrinian counterpoint and plainchant. A superb cast in this exciting live recording from Berlin: Peter Schreier, Siegfried Lorenz, Rosemarie Lang and the Staatskapelle Berlin conducted by the great Otmar Suitner, a specialist in late romantic repertoire. The libretto is available online at www.brilliantclassics.com, the booklet contains liner notes on the music. Other information: Recorded live in Berlin in 1986 and 1988.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (I'm lost now for the world) I chose the figure of Gustav Mahler as my study and Mahler's extraordinary epigraph is amongst the best written. The highlight of the entire collection is the wonderful Ruckertlieder. This quotation summarise and reflects the personal anxieties of Gustav Mahler: I'm lost now for the world, where before I had wasted a lot of time; for a long time no one has heard of me, and maybe they even believe that I'm dead! But if the world thinks I'm dead I don't give a damn. Because you really are dead to the world. And finally resting in a silent place, where I live alone in my heaven, in my love, in my song. Gustav Mahler - Austrian composer and conductor born in Kaliste in Bohemia, in 1860, and died in Vienna in 1911. Sensitive interpreter of a world in crisis, Mahler brought the romantic language to a new phase of development, acting as a forerunner in the development of the dodecaphony by his protégés Berg and Schoenberg. Mainstay of the music at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. An artist with a very complex problem and personality (he was one of the first to experiment with psychoanalysis by Freud). As a conductor he reached remarkable fame, modern and extremely innovative for his interpretive style. His reputation as a composer developed fully only in the 60s of the last century. Mahler composed ten symphonies as well as numerous Lieder. He was the husband of the fiery and lively Alma Schindler, twenty years his junior. A troubled and intense union that strongly affect the life and creativity of this master.

Jewish Music and Modernity Oxford University Press Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Is there really such a thing as Jewish music? And how does it survive as a practice of worship and cultural expression even in the face of the many brutal aesthetic and political challenges of modernity? In Jewish Music and Modernity, Philip V. Bohlman imparts these questions with a new light that transforms the very historiography of Jewish culture in modernity. Based on decades of fieldwork and archival study throughout the world, Bohlman intensively examines the many ways in which music has historically borne witness to the confrontation between modern Jews and the world around them. Weaving a historical narrative that spans from the end of the Middle Ages to the Holocaust, he moves through the vast confluence of musical styles and repertories. From the sacred and to the secular, from folk to popular music, and in the many languages in which it was written and performed, he accounts for areas of Jewish music that have rarely been considered before. Jewish music, argues Bohlman, both survived in isolation and transformed the nations in which it lived.When Jews and Jewish musicians entered modernity, authenticity became an ideal to be supplanted by the reality of complex traditions. Klezmer music emerged in rural communities cohabited by Jews and Roma; Jewish cabaret resulted from the collaborations of migrant Jews and non-Jews to the nineteenth-century metropoles of Berlin and Budapest, Prague and Vienna; cantors and composers experimented with new sounds. The modernist impulse from Felix Mendelssohn to Gustav Pick to Arnold Schoenberg and beyond became possible because of the ways music juxtaposed aesthetic and cultural differences. Jewish Music and Modernity demonstrates how borders between repertories are crossed and the sound of modernity is enriched by the movement of music and musicians from the peripheries to the center of modern culture. Bohlman ultimately challenges readers to experience the modern confrontation of self and other anew.

Wittgenstein's Vienna Ivan R Dee, Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This is a remarkable book about a man (perhaps the most important and original philosopher of our age), a society (the corrupt Austro-Hungarian Empire on the eve of dissolution), and a city (Vienna, with its fin-de siecle gaiety and corrosive melancholy). The central figure in this study of a crumbling society that gave birth to the modern world is Wittgenstein, the brilliant and gifted young thinker. With others, including Freud, Viktor Adler, and Arnold Schoenberg, he forged his ideas in a classical revolt against the stuffy, doomed, and moralistic lives of the old regime. As a portrait of Wittgenstein, the book is superbly realized; it is even better as a portrait of the age, with dazzling and unusual parallels to our own confused society. "Allan Janik and Stephen Toulmin have acted on a striking premise: an understanding of prewar Vienna, Wittgenstein's native city, will make it easier to comprehend both his work and our own problems...This is an independent work containing much that is challenging, new, and useful."-New York Times Book Review.

Writings on Music, Oxford University Press Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In the mid-1960s, Steve Reich radically renewed the musical landscape with a back-to-basics sound that came to be called Minimalism. These early works, characterized by a relentless pulse and static harmony, focused single-mindedly on the process of gradual rhythmic change. Throughout his career, Reich has continued to reinvigorate the music world, drawing from a wide array of classical, popular, sacred, and non-western idioms. His works reflect the steady evolution of an original musical mind. Writings on Music documents the creative journey of this thoughtful, groundbreaking composer. These 64 short pieces include Reich's 1968 essay "Music as a Gradual Process," widely considered one of the most influential pieces of music theory in the second half of the 20th century. Subsequent essays, articles, and interviews treat Reich's early work with tape and phase shifting, showing its development into more recent work with speech melody and instrumental music. Other essays recount his exposure to non-western music -- African drumming, Balinese gamelan, Hebrew cantillation -- and the influence of these musics as structures and not as sounds.The writings include Reich's reactions to and appreciations of the works of his contemporaries (John Cage, Luciano Berio, Morton Feldman, Gyorgy Ligeti) and older influences (Kurt Weill, Schoenberg). Each major work of the composer's career is also explored through notes written for performances and recordings. Paul Hillier, himself a respected figure in the early music and new music worlds, has revisited these texts, working with the author to clarify their central narrative: the aesthetic and intellectual development of an influential composer. For long-time listeners and young musicians recently introduced to his work, this book provides an opportunity to get to know Reich's music in greater depth and perspective.
