Playing with History: The Historical Approach to Musical Performance
ISBN: 9780521813525 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why do we feel the need to perform music in a historically informed style? Is this need related to wider cultural concerns? In this challenging study, John Butt sums up recent debates on the nature of the early music movement, calling upon a seemingly inexhaustible fund of ideas gleaned from historical musicology, analytic philosophy, literary theory, historiography and theories of modernism and postmodernism. He develops the critical views of both supporters and detractors, claiming ultimately that it has more intellectual and artistic potential than its detractors may have assumed.

Rowland examines this through the technique and music of composer-pianists such as Beethoven, Liszt, and Chopin and follows the transition from harpsichord and clavichord to piano. The book also includes an appendix of...

The Clavichord
ISBN: 9780521619899 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The clavichord, forerunner of the piano, was one of the most important instruments in Western keyboard history until the first decades of the nineteenth century. Bernard Brauchli's comprehensive history fills a major gap in the literature on this instrument. Beginning with the earliest-known references, he traces the clavichord's evolution up to the mid-nineteenth century, ending with a study of performance technique.

Candide: Or Optimism
ISBN: 9780140440041 / Angielski / Miękka / 1950 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds"
It was the indifferent shrug and callous inertia that this "optimism" concealed which so angered Voltaire, who found the "all for the best" approach a patently inadequate response to suffering, to natural disasters, not to mention the questions of illness and man-made war. Moreover, as the rebel whose satiric genius had earned him not only international acclaim, but two stays in the Bastille, flogging, and exile, Voltaire knew personally what suffering entailed.In Candide he whisks his young hero and friends through a...
