Book Description
Hector Berlioz (1803 1869), considered the father of modern orchestration, possessed an intuitive musical genius all the more remarkable for his limited formal musical education. A brilliant colorist, a master of the unexpected rhythmic break, he brought a new symphonic richness to Romantic music. Both damned and venerated by his contemporaries Mendelssohn considered him devoid of talent, Paganini declared him the one true heir to the spirit of Beethoven Berlioz seems to have sought in music a way to soothe and give voice to the turbulent psychological instabilities and contradictions of what has come to be called "program music" i.e., instrumental music with an extramusical significance. He strove to communicate musically the experiences, psychological themes, scenic description, and literary allusions more commonly associated with the confessional writings of Romantic poets. This Dover edition presents two of the greatest of these "program" pieces: the "Symphonie Fantastique" (1830) and "Harold in Italy" (1834). Here are the full scores of both major symphonic works painstakingly reproduced from the authoritative Breitkopf & Hartel edition, available for the first time in one convenient volume plus Berlioz's "program" for the "Symphonie Fantastique." Musicians and music lovers everywhere will value this high-quality, inexpensive edition ideal for study and performance."

Ruskin in Italy: Letters to His Parents, 1845
Author: John Ruskin
Publisher: Oxford : Clarendon Press
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
"The letters Ruskin wrote home almost daily during his Italian tour of 1845 are here fully published for the first time. The tour had an immediate effect on the first two volumes of Modern Painters and marks the beginning of Ruskin's lifelong concern with Italian painting and with Italian Romanesque and Gothic architecture. The letters record the influences on him, his changing views and feelings, and are therefore an essential document for the understanding of his development as a critic. They also contribute a good deal of evidence toward the understanding of his enormously important relationship with his ageing parents. Not least important, the letters taken altogether make a delightful travel book, for they were written not only to inform, but to entertain"--Jacket.
