Verdi and the French Aesthetic: Verse, Stanza, and Melody in Nineteenth-Century Opera
ISBN: 9780521878432 / Angielski / Twarda / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Focusing on Verdi's French operas, Giger shows how the composer acquired an ever better understanding of the various approaches to French versification while gradually bringing his works in line with French melodic aesthetic. In his first French opera, Jerusalem, Verdi treated the text in an overly cautious manner, trying to avoid prosodic mistakes; in Les Vepres siciliennes he began to apply more freedom, scanning the verses against some prosodic accents to convey the lightheartedness of a melody; and in Don Carlos he finally drew on the entire palette of prosodic interpretations. Most of...

Dallapiccola on Opera: Selected Writings, Volume I
ISBN: 9780907689096 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola (1904 to 1975) always characterised himself as a 'man of the theatre', and 'Il Prigioniero' (The Prisoner) has been performed more often than any other Italian opera since Puccini. This is the first collection of his writings to appear in English and proves that he was also an inspired essayist and critic. To the directness and psychological insight of his narrative style, Dallapiccola adds probing observation of details in the critical texts that form the core of this book. Whether writing about familiar masterpieces like Mozart's 'Don Giovanni' and...

Brecht at the Opera: Volume 9
ISBN: 9780520254824 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Brecht at the Opera looks at the German playwright's lifelong ambivalent engagement with opera. An ardent opera lover in his youth, Brecht later denounced the genre as decadent and irrelevant to modern society even as he continued to work on opera projects throughout his career. He completed three operas and attempted two dozen more with composers such as Kurt Weill, Paul Hindemith, Hanns Eisler, and Paul Dessau. Joy H. Calico argues that Brecht's simultaneous work on opera and Lehrstuck in the 1920s generated the new concept of audience experience that would come to define epic...

Italian Opera Since 1945
ISBN: 9789057550027 / Angielski / Miękka / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Italy was the birthplace of opera in the late 16th century, and has in recent decades seen significant growth, with composers as diverse as Luciano Berio and Nino Rota, Luigi Nono and Sylvano Bussotti. The musical theatre has figured prominently in the work of Italian composers during this period, ranging from operas of the traditional mode to popular or avant-garde musicals. Fearn surveys this Italian musico-theatrical phenomenon, examining a range of works such as Nono's "Intolleranza" and Berio's "Passagio", and placing the developments within a cultural and theatrical context. Numerous...

The Cambridge Companion to Wagner
ISBN: 9780521642996 / Angielski / Twarda / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Wagner is remembered as one of the most influential figures in music and theatre, but his place in history has been marked by a considerable amount of controversy. His attitudes towards the Jews and the appropriation of his operas by the Nazis, for example, have helped to construct a historical persona that sits uncomfortably with modern sensibilities. Yet Wagner's absolutely central position in the operatic canon continues. This volume serves as a timely reminder of his ongoing musical, cultural, and political impact. Contributions by specialists from such varied fields as musical...

The Tragic and the Ecstatic: The Musical Revolution of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde
ISBN: 9780195343007 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the years preceding the composition of Tristan and Isolde, Wagner's aesthetics underwent a momentous turnaround, principally as a result of his discovery of Schopenhauer. Many of Schopenhauer's ideas, especially those regarding music's metaphysical significance, resonated with patterns of thought that had long been central to Wagner's aesthetics, and Wagner described the entry of Schopenhauer into his life as "a gift from heaven." Chafe argues that Wagner's Tristan and Isolde is a musical and dramatic exposition of metaphysical ideas inspired by Schopenhauer. The...

The Wagner Clan: The Saga of Germany's Most Illustrious and Infamous Family
ISBN: 9780802143990 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An Economist Best Book of 2007, Jonathan Carr's The Wagner Clan was roundly acclaimed upon its publication in hardcover. Hailed as fiendishly enjoyable by Salon.com and masterly and enthralling by The Daily Telegraph, it proves that the history of Europe and that of the Wagners are inextricably intertwined. Carr presents not only Richard Wagner himself--composer, philosopher, philanderer, failed revolutionary, and virulent anti-Semite--but also a colorful cast of historical figures who feature in Wagner's story: Franz Liszt (whose illegitimate daughter Cosima married Wagner); the mad King...
