Book Description
The waning years of the Russian Empire witnessed the development of a rich tradition of trumpet playing. Noted trumpet scholar and performer Edward Tarr's latest book illuminates this tradition, which is little known in the West. Tarr's extensive research in hitherto inaccessible Russian archives has uncovered many documents that illuminate the careers of noted performers. These documents are reproduced here for the first time. A concise chronological summary of Russian political and musical developments provides an effective backdrop for this inventory of trumpeters. The author ably demonstrates how profoundly Russian trumpet-playing and pedagogy were influenced by emigrées, particularly from Germany (Wilhelm Wurm, Willy Brandt, Oskar Böhme), and how Russian-born trumpeters like Vladimir Drucker subsequently influenced the American musical scene. In his Lexicon of Trumpeters, both Russian and 'Foreign, ' Active in Russia, Tarr supplements his own research with information from valuable but obscure secondary sources in Russian. This lexicon carries the story into the late twentieth century, and includes modern legendary figures such as Timofey Dokshizer.

Book Description
I sogni di libertà e di indipendenza della dottoressa Georgie Carides svaniscono quando la sua ingombrante, possessiva famiglia greca arriva inaspettatamente in città. Lei sa come andrà a finire: inizieranno a farle il terzo grado e a chiederle ossessivamente come mai, alla sua veneranda età, sia ancora single. Georgie ha bisogno di trovare qualcosa - o qualcuno - che distragga i suoi parenti durante la loro permanenza. E quale diversivo migliore dell'ai-tante dottor Josh Wetherly, suo collega nella squadra di elisoccorso? In fondo Josh, oltre che un collega, è anche un amico e di certo si presterà a fingere per qualche tempo di essere il suo fidanzato. Ma quando si comincia a parlare di matrimonio, la situazione si complica e quella che doveva essere una storia per finta si trasforma in qualcosa di molto personale.

Eighteenth-Century Russian Music
Author: Marina RitzarevPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351568604
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Little is known outside of Russia about the nation's musical heritage prior to the nineteenth century. Western scholarship has tended to view the history of Russian music as not beginning until the end of the eighteenth century. Marina Ritzarev's work shows this interpretation to be misguided. Starting from an examination of the rich legacy of Russian music up to 1700, she explores the development of music over the course of the eighteenth century, a period of especially intense Westernization and secularization. The book focuses on what is characteristic and crucial to Russian music during this period, rather than seeking to provide a comprehensive survey. The musical culture of the time is discussed against the rich background of social, political and cultural life, tying together many of the phenomena that used to be viewed separately. The book highlights the importance of previously marginalized sectors - serf culture, choral sacred culture, the contribution of foreign musicians, the significant influence of Freemasonry, the role of Ukrainian and West-European cultures and so on - as well as casting new light on the well-researched topic of Russian opera. Much new archival material is introduced, and revised biographies of the two leading eighteenth-century Russian composers, Maxim Berezovsky and Dmitry Bortniansky, are provided, as well as those of the serf composer Stepan Degtyarev and the Italian Giuseppe Sarti. The book places eighteenth-century Russian music on the European map, and will be of particular importance for the study of European musical cultures remote from such centres as Italy, Germany-Austria and France. Eighteenth-century Russian music is organically linked with its past and future and its contributory role in forming the Russian national identity and developing the Russian idiom is clarified.
