Book Description
"Bach's Chaconne in D minor for solo violin is one of the most famous pieces in the violin repertoire. Although Max Reger also wrote three important Chaconnes, these pieces are less familiar to musicians. Reger's three Chaconnes--op. 42/4, op. 91/7 and op. 117/4--were composed during the first ten years of the twentieth century, modeled and stylized after Bach's Chaconne. These Chaconnes' structural elements are borrowed significantly from an earlier era, but their harmonic practice comports with that of the fin de siècle, the era during which Reger lived. The combination of earlier Baroque forms and early twentieth-century Modernist influences in Reger's three Chaconnes is singular and has been branded at once "conservative" and "radical" ever since their publication. During Reger's lifetime, many critics were provoked by his music. However, after the middle of the twentieth century, interest in Reger has increased, both in terms of performance and scholarly research. Musicologists and critics are now reconsidering his aesthetic and historical influences, while musicians are performing and recording his pieces. Scholarly research on Reger has not only been conducted in Europe, but also in the United States. (My thesis advisor, Dr. Ira Braus, introduced me to this neglected yet remarkable composer). By way of expanding the renewed interest in Reger, my study analyzes his three solo violin Chaconnes, op. 42/4, op. 91/7, and op. 117/4. It also offers a second look into how Baroque compositional styles--as well as those of Reger's own time--influenced these works, and how Reger creatively merged historicism and modernism to forge a paradoxically "conservative" yet "radical" compositional style of his own." -- author's abstract.

The Music History Classroom
Author: Professor James A Davis
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409483576
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
The Music History Classroom brings together essays written by recognized and experienced teachers to assist in the design, implementation, and revision of college-level music history courses. This includes the traditional music history survey for music majors, but the materials presented here are applicable to other music history courses for music majors and general education students alike, including period classes, composer or repertory courses, and special topics classes and seminars. The authors bring current thought on the scholarship of teaching and learning together with practical experience into the unique environment of the music history classroom. While many of the issues confronting teachers in other disciplines are pertinent to music history classes, this collection addresses the unique nature of musical materials and the challenges involved in negotiating between historical information, complex technical musical issues, and the aesthetics of performing and listening. This single volume provides a systematic outline of practical teaching advice on all facets of music history pedagogy, including course design, classroom technology, listening and writing assignments, and more. The Music History Classroom presents the 'nuts-and-bolts' of teaching music history suitable for graduate students, junior faculty, and seasoned teachers alike.

Book Description
At about the same time as 1783-85, a version for piano duet was made which rearranged the movements of the five Divertimenti as '6 Viennese Sonatinas'. Our new edition is based on the piano version of 1803 but also takes into account the original wind divertimenti and attempts to combine the original phrasing and part-writing with an idiomatic pianistic style.

Soft Boundaries
Author: Claire Detels
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313005753
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
American education and culture are suffering from a terrible, soul-numbing imbalance, in which there is an overemphasis on basic, quantifiable skills and knowledge and a de-emphasis of more creative areas of the humanities, especially the arts and aesthetics. Detels indicates that the marginalization of the arts and aesthetics in American education has been caused by a hard-boundaried paradigm that has come to dominate American education. According to this paradigm, the arts are wrongly viewed and taught as separate, unconnected disciplines of music, visual arts, dance, and theater, while their intimate connections to each other and to aesthetic experience and life in general are completely unrepresented. The way out of this crisis is to change paradigms, from a hard-boundaried, single-minded valuation of specialization to a more soft-boundaried curriculum that allows for specialized education in individual art forms as well as widespread interdisciplinary integration of the arts with each other and with general education at the K-12 and college levels. Without such a change, we will be unable to equip our students with the necessary skills to understand and communicate about the increasingly complex, sensually immersive artistic media and forms of the future.
