A pianist's guide to practicing and preparation on the first movement of Haydn's piano sonata in E-flat major,, No. 62

ISBN:

Pages : 85
Book Description
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to create a guide for practicing, performing, and preparing the first movement of Haydn's Piano Sonata in E-flat major, No. 62. The study brings together historical, analytical, performance practice and pedagogical aspects to provide a rounded approach for studying this work in preparation for performance. The study of the historical content provides a brief introduction to Haydn's life, and the major external factors that influenced the composition of Sonata No. 62. An analysis of the first movement combines traditional analysis based on thematic material, harmony, and motivic development with description of the musical "topics" used. A brief study of relevant eighteenth-century performance practice examines notational conventions and their application to modern instruments. The final section offers a variety of technical exercises specific to the movement under discussion. These exercises are designed to further strengthen specific aspects of the technique of a pianist who is at a sufficiently advanced level to tackle this work, and offer the tools to command a more stylistically compelling performance as suggested by the study of performance practice conventions.

Pages : 488
Book Description
Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) is frequently considered the most significant American female composer in the twentieth century. With Aaron Copland and Henry Cowell she was a key member of the 1920s musical avant-garde, and she was the first woman to win a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in music composition. But her legacy extends far beyond the cutting edge of modern music. Collaborating with poet Carl Sandburg on fork song arrangements in the twenties, and with the famous folk-song collectors John and Alan Lomax in the 1930s, she emerged as a central figure in the American fork music revival. In addition, she became an energetic proponent of social change and devoted much of her last decades to progressive causes. This engrossing new biography emphasizes the choices Crawford Seeger made in her roles as composer, activist, teacher, wife and mother.

The People's Artist
Author: Simon MorrisonPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199830983
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
Sergey Prokofiev was one of the twentieth century's greatest composers--and one of its greatest mysteries. Until now. In The People's Artist, Simon Morrison draws on groundbreaking research to illuminate the life of this major composer, deftly analyzing Prokofiev's music in light of new archival discoveries. Indeed, Morrison was the first scholar to gain access to the composer's sealed files in the Russian State Archives, where he uncovered a wealth of previously unknown scores, writings, correspondence, and unopened journals and diaries. The story he found in these documents is one of lofty hopes and disillusionment, of personal and creative upheavals. Morrison shows that Prokofiev seemed to thrive on uncertainty during his Paris years, stashing scores in suitcases, and ultimately stunning his fellow emigrés by returning to Stalin's Russia. At first, Stalin's regime treated him as a celebrity, but Morrison details how the bureaucratic machine ground him down with corrections and censorship (forcing rewrites of such major works as Romeo and Juliet), until it finally censured him in 1948, ending his career and breaking his health.
