The Concept of Music
ISBN: 9780198163886 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is music for? How does it work? What can it teach us? Intuitively, we feel there must be answers to such questions, but they tend to be scattered throughout a wide range of different areas of study, from acoustics to music history, from psychology to composition. In this brilliant and thought-provoking book, Maconie seeks the answers to these and other fundamental questions about music, integrating music and appropriate scientific research in a new evaluation of his topic. In so doing, he argues passionately for a reappraisal of music, not as mere entertainment, but as something basic to...

Haydn's Symphonic Forms: Essays in Compositional Logic
ISBN: 9780198163923 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Looking in detail at Haydn's symphonies, this book attempts to clarify what Haydn's fundamental principles of formal logic might have been. It shows how Haydn employed those basic compositional principles to structure his forms, providing explanations that account for specific details of individual movements as well as the relationships between the movements. Beyond what they show about Haydn's formal thought and the individual works discussed, the discussions in this book also stress the idea that compositions cannot be analyzed in a meaningful manner if the analysis is divorced from the...

This book is the first detailed study of Polish composer Henryk Gorecki, whose Third Symphony, written in 1976 and released on CD in 1992, became a bestseller and brought Goreki international renown.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Approaches to His Music
ISBN: 9780198163992 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many books have been written about Beethoven. But it is rare to find one that seeks an alternative between the fragmentation found in most specialized studies and the superficial overview typical of popular biography. In this volume, Carl Dahlhaus, one of the century's leading musicologists, combines interpretations of individual works that focus on issues of composition and musical history, with excursions into the musical aesthetics of the period around 1800; an age that was not only a "classical" period in the history of the arts but also one in that aesthetics carved itself a place in the...

The Music of Brahms
ISBN: 9780198164012 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Michael Musgrave presents a contemporary view of Brahms 150 years after his birth, seeing him not simply as the "conservative" figure so often stressed in the past, but as one who creatively reinterpreted a wider range of historical elements than any composer of his time. Brahms absorbed his studies directly into his music making and composition and in so doing helped to evolve not merely a personal language which was regarded as progressive and sometimes difficult by a range of contemporaries and successors, but also helped to establish an ethos of historical reference which anticipates the...

The Music of Chopin
ISBN: 9780198164029 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The lasting popularity of Chopin's music has reached "from salon to slum." He captured and expressed the spirit of the age of Romanticism, its ardour and idealism, its longing and restlessness, its love of spontaneity, with an authority his contemporaries immediately recognized and which successive generations have admired and loved. Much of the Chopin literature in English is biographical, but this book is a critical study of the music itself and of the creative process which is central to the life of any composer. Samson provides a detailed analysis of the style and structure of the music...

This book details the cultural context, religious traditions, musical styles, and personal meaning of the music written by and for them from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth century, and outlines the ways in which their status as female virgins was--and was not--central to the musical expression of their piety.

Fortepianos and Their Music: Germany, Austria, and England, 1760-1800
ISBN: 9780198164265 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Eighteenth-century pianos shaped and influenced the music that was written for them. However, although organological studies probe the instrument in ever more detail, and musical criticism focuses increasingly on the musical repertoire, the relationship between the two has not been properly examined. This book concentrates on the keyboard writing of the last third of the eighteenth century, as inspired by the fundamentally different constructions of the German/Viennese and the English pianoforte. The highly articulated languages of Mozart and his Viennese contemporaries, and the more robust,...

Music and Culture in Late Renaissance Italy
ISBN: 9780198164449 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This collection of essays is unified by a number of concerns: one is the way in which musical activity of all kinds was instrumentalized by those in power, in Italy, during the Sixteenth Century. A second expressed through the chornological concentration on the second half of the century, is with a period which is still often regarded as one of decline and degeneracy after the achievements of the Quattrocento and the decades before the calameta d'Italia. This book implicitly argues that Italian culture did not lose its vigor after 1530, but underwent a transformation, as both individuals and...

Satie the Bohemian: From Cabaret to Concert Hall
ISBN: 9780198164586 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 612 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The composer Erik Satie (1866-1925) came of age in the bohemian sub-culture of Montmartre, with its artists' cabarets and cafes-concerts. These colorful milieux decisively shaped his aesthetic priorities and compositional strategies, from the esoteric Gymnopedies of the 1880s to the avant-garde ballets of the 1920s. Whiting makes this radical transvaluation of received artistic values more understandable by placing it in the full context of bohemian Montmartre.
