Bach and the Riddle of the Number Alphabet
Author: Ruth TatlowPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521361910
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
In 1947 Friedrich Smend published a study claiming that J. S. Bach used a natural-order alphabet (A = 1 to Z = 24) in his works. He demonstrated that Bach incorporated significant words into his music, and provided himself with a symbolic compositional theme. Here, Dr Tatlow investigates the plausibility of Smend's claims with new evidence, challenging Smend's conclusions.
The Musical Novel
Author: Emily PetermannPublisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 1571135928
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Analyzes two groups of "musical novels" -- novels that take music as a model for their construction -- including jazz novels by Toni Morrison and Michael Ondaatje, and novels based on Bach's Goldberg Variations. What is a "musical novel"? This book defines the genre as musical not primarily in terms of its content, but in its form. The musical novel crosses medial boundaries, aspiring to techniques, structures, and impressions similar tothose of music. It takes music as a model for its own construction, borrowing techniques and forms that range from immediately perceptible, essential aspects of music (rhythm, timbre, the simultaneity of multiple voices) to microstructural (jazz riffs, call and response, leitmotifs) and macrostructural elements (themes and variations, symphonies, albums). The musical novel also evokes the performance context by imitating elements of spontaneity that characterize improvised jazz or audience interaction. The Musical Novel builds upon theories of intermediality and semiotics to analyze the musical structures, forms, and techniques in two groups of musical novels, which serve as case studies. The first group imitates an entire musical genre and consists of jazz novels by Toni Morrison, Albert Murray, Xam Wilson Cartiér, Stanley Crouch, Jack Fuller, Michael Ondaatje, and Christian Gailly. The secondgroup of novels, by Richard Powers, Gabriel Josipovici, Rachel Cusk, Nancy Huston, and Thomas Bernhard, imitates a single piece of music, J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations. Emily Petermann is Assistant Professor of American Literature at the University of Konstanz.

Book Description
Das vor allem von der Literaturwissenschaft gestellte, aber bisher kaum in vollem Umfang gel�ste Problem einer rezeptions�sthetischen Fundierung der �sthetischen Produktion wird in dieser Arbeit am Gegenstand der Bach-Aneignung des sp�ten Beethoven durchgefuehrt. Dafuer wird einerseits die �berlieferungs- und Wirklichkeitsgeschichte Bachscher Werke im 18. und fruehen 19. Jahrhundert rekonstruiert, andererseits erfolgt vor dem Bedingungs- und Erm�glichungsgrund des geschichtlich gewordenen Bach-Verst�ndnisses eine Auslegung von Beethovens Sp�twerk.
