Shostakovich Studies
ISBN: 9780521452397 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Few composers' posthumous reputations have grown as steadily as Shostakovich's. Yet outside the concert hall the focus of attention seems to have been on the extraordinary circumstances of his life rather than on the music itself. This book seeks to show that the power of his work stems as much from its craftsmanship as from its political and personal context. The theoretical chapters lay the foundation for a proper understanding of Shostakovich's musical language for the first time in the West. The social context is not neglected, however, and alongside many new insights spread through the...

The Breath of the Symphonist : Shostakovich's Tenth
ISBN: 9780947854034 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1946 Schoenberg wrote of Sibelius and Shostakovich, 'I feel they have the breath of symphonists.' This book poses the question of what exactly that 'breath' means in the context of Shostakovich's 10th Symphony (1953). Written shortly after Stalin's death, the work marks a turning point in the composer's output and in the history of Russian music, heralding the possibility of a new creative direction for Soviet artists. David Fanning's close analysis of the 10th sheds light on issues associated with the genre of the twentieth-century epic symphony, issues of structure and expression, unity...

Irish Republican Literature, 1968-1998
ISBN: 9783838319285 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Between 1968 and 1998, Ireland saw an intense struggle for national self-determination waged on its own soil. This struggle was an extension of a centuries-long fight to free Ireland from British rule and establish an Irish Republic encompassing the entirety of the island. The present work examines the literary productions of Irish Republicans and analyzes the ways in which this literature interrogates notions of history and negotiates power within continually evolving conceptions of nationalism. By examining Irish Republican texts written between the resumption of armed conflict in the north...

Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 8
ISBN: 9780754606994 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When it was first performed in October 1960, Shostakovich's Eighth String Quartet was greeted with a standing ovation and given a full encore. Its popularity has continued to the present day with over a hundred commercial recordings appearing during the last 40 years. The appeal of the work is not hard to identify; immediately communicative, the quartet also contains rich seams of deeper meaning. This book is the first to examine its musical design in detail and seeks to overthrow the charges of superficiality that have arisen as a result of the work's popular success. The core of this study...

The Cambridge Companion to Shostakovich
ISBN: 9780521842204 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As the Soviet Union's foremost composer, Shostakovich's status in the West has always been problematic. Regarded by some as a collaborator, and by others as a symbol of moral resistance, both he and his music met with approval and condemnation in equal measure. The demise of the Communist state has, if anything, been accompanied by a bolstering of his reputation, but critical engagement with his multi-faceted achievements has been patchy. This Companion offers a starting point and a guide for readers who seek a fuller understanding of Shostakovich's place in the history of music. Bringing...

After the death of Mahler in 1911 the great Austro-German symphonic line was carried on mainly in England, America, Scandinavia and Russia. The Fifth Symphony of Carl Nielsen, a Danish composer, was composed in 1921. David Fanning discusses its place within the symphonic tradition since Beethoven, revealing the personal background to the work and taking account of the extensive Danish commentaries, including the composer's own. In an analysis of the music he lays bare the origins of its images of inertia, anxiety and collapse in Nielsen's tone poems and incidental music for the theatre....

Nielsen: Symphony No. 5
ISBN: 9780521440882 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. After the death of Mahler in 1911 the great Austro-German symphonic line was carried on mainly in England, America, Scandinavia and Russia. The Fifth Symphony of Carl Nielsen, Denmark's greatest composer, was composed in 1921-22 and is not only his masterpiece but one of the finest of all twentieth-century symphonies, representing a powerful renewal of the Beethovenian tradition. David Fanning's detailed and absorbing guide blends detailed analytical commentary with less formal summaries of the music's character. It is the only non-Danish publication on Nielsen to take full account of Danish...
