Chopin at the Boundaries: Sex, History, and Musical Genre
ISBN: 9780674127913 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The complex status of Chopin in our culture--he was a native Pole and adopted Frenchman, and a male composer writing in "feminine" genres--is the subject of Jeffrey Kallberg's absorbing book. Combining social history, literary theory, musicology, and feminist thought, Chopin at the Boundaries is the first book to situate Chopin's music within the construct of his somewhat marginal sexual identity and to explore how this should figure in our understanding of his compositional methods. Through this novel approach, Kallberg reveals a new Chopin, one situated precisely where questions of...

Medieval Music-Making and the Roman de Fauvel
ISBN: 9780521813716 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the role of music in an early fourteenth-century French manuscript. It sets the manuscript against the wider culture of Parisian book-making, showing how in devising new systems of design and folio layout, its creators developed a new kind of materiality in music. It also illustrates how music is expressive in ways that are unperformable apart from its visual representation, and argues that the new attitudes to material music making embodied in the manuscript serve as a model for exploring other music manuscripts to emerge in late medieval France.

The Free Fantasia and the Musical Picturesque
ISBN: 9780521027533 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book brings together music and visual arts, especially the art of landscape gardening, in the context of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century English and German culture. The aesthetic of the picturesque, derived from the controlled wilderness of the landscape garden, provided writers on music with a language in which to describe the musical genre of the free fantasia, and the picturesque emerges here as a vital means for understanding the fantastical elements in the music of C. P. E. Bach, Haydn, and Beethoven.

Rap Music and the Poetics of Identity
ISBN: 9780521632683 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first book to discuss in detail how rap music is put together musically. Whereas a great deal of popular music scholarship dismisses music analysis as irrelevant or of limited value, the present book argues that it can be crucial to cultural theory. It is unique for bringing together perspectives from music theory, musicology, cultural studies, critical theory, and communications. It is also the first scholarly book to discuss rap music in Holland, and the rap of Cree Natives in Canada, in addition to such mainstream artists as Ice Cube.

Absolute Music and the Construction of Meaning
ISBN: 9780521027519 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the intellectual history of instrumental music, in particular the idea of absolute music. It tries to show how certain ideas in philosophy, theology and the sciences affect the meaning and, indeed, the existence of instrumental music, and how, in turn, instrumental music is used to resolve or exemplify certain problems in modern culture. Instead of existing in a pure and autonomous form, music is woven back into the epistemological fabric and entangled with numerous discourses, thus demonstrating the centrality of music in the construction of meaning.

Hugo Riemann and the Birth of Modern Musical Thought
ISBN: 9780521820738 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hugo Riemann (1849-1919) is generally acknowledged as the most important musicologist of his age. By analyzing his musical thought within the turn-of-the-century context of interest in the natural sciences, German nationhood and modern technology, this book reconstructs how Riemann's ideas not only "made sense" but advanced a belief of the tonal tradition as both natural and German. Riemann influenced the ideas of generations of music scholars because his work coincided with the institutionalization of academic musicology around the turn of the last century.

Quotation and Cultural Meaning in Twentieth-Century Music
ISBN: 9780521825092 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Musicians frequently incorporated portions of works by other musicians into their own compositions and performances throughout the twentieth century. This book examines how this practice of "quotation" affected cultural dialogues regarding race, childhood, madness and the mass media. When a musician borrows from a piece, he or she draws upon not only a melody but also the cultural associations of the original piece. By working with and altering a melody, a musician also transforms those associations.

The Characteristic Symphony in the Age of Haydn and Beethoven
ISBN: 9780521802017 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Characteristic symphonies have texts associating them with literature, politics, religion, and other aspects of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century European culture. Examining both the music and its aesthetic and social contexts, this first full-length study of the genre demonstrates how symphonies constructed individual and collective identities through their subjects, representing emotion, human bodily movement, and the passage of time. Examples discussed include the Pastoral and Eroica symphonies of Beethoven and works by Haydn, Dittersdorf, and other composers of the era. An Appendix...

Bach and the Meanings of Counterpoint
ISBN: 9780521803465 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book offers new interpretations of many of Bach's late compositions which include complex musical techniques such as canon. These techniques held great significance for Bach and his contemporaries not only on account of the great skill they demanded but because of the meanings attached to them. Intricate musical devices were crucial to the Lutheran rituals of death and dying, to alchemy, to Enlightenment philosophies of stylistic change and musical progress, to musical representations of political power, and to the legacy of Bach into our own time.
