Almost 50 years later, Gentry is as enigmatic and captivating as her signature song. Of course, fans still want to know why Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

Ausgehend von der Grunduberzeugung Wagners, da das dramatische Kunstwerk erst in der sinnlichen Mitteilung an alle Sinne seine vollstandige und endgultige Gestalt erlange und sich daher nur im Theater verwirkliche, erweist sich die Aura-Metapher Walter Benjamins, die "einmalige Erscheinung einer Ferne, so nah sie sein mag," als treffendes Sinnbild fur die kunstlerische Absicht Wagners. Hatte Benjamin den "Verfall der Aura" als Symptom des Kunstwerks "im Zeitalter seiner technischen Reproduzierbarkeit" diagnostiziert, so begriff auch bereits Wagners Kritik die als kulturelle und...

Schumann and His World
ISBN: 9780691607023 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We know Robert Schumann in many ways: as a visionary composer, a seasoned journalist, a cultured man of letters, and a genius who, having passed his mantle on to the young Brahms, succumbed to mental illness in 1856. Drawing on recent pathbreaking research, this collection offers new perspectives on this seminal nineteenth-century figure. In Part I, Leon Botstein and Michael P. Steinberg assess Schumann's efforts to place music at the center of German culture, in public and private sectors. Bernhard R.

Monstrous Opera: Rameau and the Tragic Tradition
ISBN: 9780691604145 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the foremost composers of the French Baroque operatic tradition, Rameau is often cited for his struggle to steer lyric tragedy away from its strict Lullian form, inspired by spoken tragedy, and toward a more expressive musical style. In this fresh exploration of Rameau's compositional aesthetic, Charles Dill depicts a much more complicated figure: one obsessed with tradition, music theory, his own creative instincts, and the public's expectations of his music. Dill examines the ways Rameau mediated among these often competing values and how he interacted with his critics and with...

A Mammal's Notebook: The Collected Writings of Erik Satie
ISBN: 9781900565660 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the largest selection, in any language, of the writings of Erik Satie (1866-1925). Although once dismissed as an eccentric, Satie has come to be seen as a key influence on modern music, and his writings reveal him as one of the most beguiling of absurdists, in the mode of Lewis Carroll or Edward Lear--but with a strong streak of Dadaism (a movement in which he participated). The nonconformism of Satie's private life seems deliberately calculated: he assumed various personae at different periods of his life, from the mystical -velvet gentleman- to the Dadaist disguised as quizzical...

You probably didn't name Gary Davis, but many of his musical contemporaries considered him without peer. Bob Dylan called Davis "one of the wizards of modern music."

Formed in 1969 by ex-members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, Little Feat created groove-heavy music that was an irresistible mix of rock, blues, R&B, country, jazz, soul, and funk.
