The Music of Alexander Scriabin
ISBN: 9780300033373 / Angielski / Twarda / 1986 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Alexander Scriabin was one of a few major composers who revolutionized musical style in the first decade of the twentieth century by eliminating key as a structural principle and by establishing a new use of dissonant harmonies. This book by James M. Baker is a study of Scriabin's twentieth-century music, the first thorough analysis of the composer's evolution from conventional tonality to his later atonal structure.

ISBN: 9780300051100 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Joachim Burmeister's early seventeenth-century treatise on the making of music is generally acknowledged to be central to the understanding of Baroque musical practice: it was the first systematically to explore the connection between rhetoric and music that became a cornerstone of Baroque musical thought.

Rivera contains a critical transcription of the Latin text and an annotated translation on facing pages.

Potter reveals that prominent German musicologists...
