Описание: Jascha Heifetz was the most celebrated violinist of the 20th century whose influence on violin playing endures to this day. His one-and-only tour of South Africa in 1932 is at once compelling and revealing. In this thoroughly-researched and illustrated book, Michael Brittan drills down into the Heifetz legend and legacy. At the same time, he brings to life the fascinating saga of the makings of Depression-era South Africa and its musical life, along with hints of what the future would hold. Against this backdrop, engaging narrative documents the never-published details of Heifetz both on and off the South African concert stage. The book reveals how the Heifetz phenomenon was perceived by the South African public through the commentaries of the press, music critics and interviews. Scrutiny through the South African lens of Heifetz the musical master and Heifetz the man adds a new chapter to his life and times, providing fresh insights into the enigmatic Heifetz genius and personality.
«This volume epitomizes Jost Hermand’s inimitable talent of synthesizing wide-ranging disciplines in an accessible and compelling style, bringing to life the experiences of musicians and their public in the context of their own times. These essays also give us a glimpse into how his own life experiences created the hunger for culture that defined his long and illustrious career.» (Pamela M. Potter, Professor of German and Musicology, University of Wisconsin—Madison)

«Jost Hermand’s final book is an enormously rich gift to posterity. The fifteen essays on musical culture that constitute this collection contain brief but illuminating glimpses of the whole glorious parade of serious music and those who composed, cultivated, and commented on it in the German lands, from Buxtehude to Stockhausen and beyond. His insight and well-observed contextualization reveals a lifetime of scholarship and experience.» (Celia Applegate, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University)

In contrast to the writings of many other musicologists, this book is not primarily concerned with the biographies of certain composers or a structural analysis of their major compositions, but rather with the stands they took in the ideological struggles during their lifetimes and how these affected some of their most important works. Beginning with the late seventeenth century, special emphasis is thereby given to Pietism, orthodox Lutheranism, the impact of the French Revolution, the restrictive measures of the Metternich period, the Wilhelminian era, Expressionism, the New Objectivity and the materialist aesthetics of the Weimar Republic, fascism, exile and the modernism of the early Federal Republic of Germany.

Описание: For many New Yorkers of a certain age, mention of Lewisohn Stadium conjures many fond memories of concerts of beautiful music performed in most cases by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra on warm summer evenings outdoors. Music for the American People: The Lewisohn Stadium Concerts brings back those memories while introducing them to those who are either too young to remember or were born years after the Stadium’s razing in 1973. Although several books discuss either the early years of the Stadium Concerts or the life of Stadium Concerts Chairperson Minnie Guggenheimer, this is the first book ever to discuss the concerts themselves. In particular, the book focuses on the conductors, soloists, and repertoire in a way never undertaken before by any scholar. While the book explores the Stadium Concerts classical orchestra canon to a large extent, author Jonathan Stern emphasizes in particular the effect the festival had on American music. The book discusses how the Stadium Concerts began in an era in which American classical music was championed like it rarely has been. It also makes the case that the Stadium Concerts may have done more for contemporary American music than any other musical institution of the early twentieth century through its frequent advocacy of the music of George Gershwin. This advocacy was soon taken up by other summer orchestra festivals that were founded after the birth of the Stadium Concerts. Among these festivals were the Hollywood Bowl Concerts, Tanglewood, Ravinia, and the Robin Hood Dell concerts, all of which are also discussed towards the end of the book. Readers will also learn how the Stadium Concerts coped with the challenges faced by America in general, not only surviving wars and the Great Depression but even thriving artistically and otherwise during these troubling times. Lewisohn Stadium was a summer home away from home for millions of New Yorkers, enabling them to put aside their differences and join together in enjoying great music performed by many of the world’s leading performers. In an era when people from all walks of life sought to better themselves in ways not often seen today, New Yorkers often said to each other, “Meet me at the Stadium.” As such, Music for the American People: The Lewisohn Stadium Concerts fills a much-needed void in music and New York City scholarship while recounting a particularly happy chapter in the history of New York City culture.

Описание: Franz Schubert's music has long been celebrated for its lyrical melodies, 'heavenly length' and daring harmonic language. In this new study of Schubert's complete string quartets, Anne Hyland challenges the influential but under-explored claim that Schubert could not successfully incorporate the lyric style into his sonatas, and offers a novel perspective on lyric form that embraces historical musicology, philosophy and music theory and analysis. Her exploration of the quartets reveals Schubert's development of a lyrically conceived teleology, bringing musical form, expression and temporality together in the service of fresh intellectual engagement. Her formal analyses grant special focus to the quartets of 1810–16, isolating the questions they pose for existing music theory and employing these as a means of scrutinising the relationship between the concepts of lyricism, development, closure and teleology thereby opening up space for these works to challenge some of the discourses that have historically beset them.

Описание: Gilbert Kalish, American Pianist chronicles the life and work of a celebrated performer and teacher. This unique volume combines memoirs; tributes by friends, family and colleagues; and personal reflections on music by one who has been at the forefront of American chamber music, contemporary music and piano pedagogy for more than a half-century. As a soloist and as a member of various ensembles, Gil has appeared at Tanglewood, Marlboro, Music@Menlo, the Yellow Barn Music Festival, and with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, among other venues, and has premiered many works of the music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, as his voluminous discography indicates. He writes about his fascinating career, during which he has appeared with such notable singers as Jon Vickers, Jan DeGaetani, and Dawn Upshaw. Gil also muses on his role as a pedagogue—on the faculty of Stony Brook University (SUNY) for more than fifty years, where he has taught, coached and mentored many hundreds of talented musicians, and at numerous music festivals, colleges and universities worldwide. All of the above is intertwined with Gil's life story— much of it told in his own words—which details his view of the coincidences, luck and hard work that have brought him a rewarding family life and an outstanding career.
Musicians of Asian descent enjoy unprecedented prominence in concert halls, conservatories, and classical music performance competitions. In the first book on the subject, Mari Yoshihara looks into the reasons for this phenomenon, starting with her own experience of learning to play piano in Japan at the age of three. Yoshihara shows how a confluence of culture, politics and commerce after the war made classical music a staple in middle-class households, established Yamaha as the world's largest producer of pianos and gave the Suzuki method of music training an international clientele. Soon, talented musicians from Japan, China and South Korea were flocking to the United States to study and establish careers, and Asian American families were enrolling toddlers in music classes.
Against this historical backdrop, Yoshihara interviews Asian and Asian American musicians, such as Cho-Liang Lin, Margaret Leng Tan, Kent Nagano, who have taken various routes into classical music careers. They offer their views about the connections of race and culture and discuss whether the music is really as universal as many claim it to be. Their personal histories and Yoshihara's observations present a snapshot of today's dynamic and revived classical music scene.
