German Operetta on Broadway and in the West End, 1900-1940
Author: Derek B. ScottPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781108723329
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
Academic attention has focused on America's influence on European stage works, and yet dozens of operettas from Austria and Germany were produced on Broadway and in the West End, and their impact on the musical life of the early twentieth century is undeniable. In this ground breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900-1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period - from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media - and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 628
Book Description
Haynes (U. of Montreal) traces the history of musical pitch standards over the last four centuries, linking frequency values to pitch names and telling where, when, and why various pitch levels have been used. With a focus on Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the Hapsburg lands, he covers the pitches of about 1,400 historical instruments and how the design and function influenced and were influenced by changes in pitch. In addition, he studies the effect of pitch differences on musical notation and choice of key. The author has also written a book on the oboe, the instrument that plays the "A" to which a symphony orchestra tunes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
The general purpose of this book was well explained in the preface to its first edition, and that preface is, therefore, reprinted on the following pages. The various editions which have followed have seen a gradual enlargement of the book, with greater accuracy of detail; but its purpose and general scope have not been changed.A longer period (seven years) has elapsed since the fifth edition than occurred between any other successive two. This has not been so much because of the lack of new material on the subject as because of difhcvdty in organizing that material in the best form for presentation. There is a smaller increase than usual in the number of new dves described in this edition; but this is offset bv the addition of histochemical reagents which are not dyes in themselves, but develop color when properly applied to tissue containing the compounds which the reagents are intended to demonstrate.
