Symphony in B minor ("Unfinished")
Author: Franz Schubert
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Orchestral music
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Schubert's Symphony in B minor, known as "Unfinished," has been one of the central works of the musical literature for over a century, since its discovery and first performance thirty-seven years after the composer's death. This volume includes the complete musical score of the work, and a stimulating selection of materials illuminating its historical and musical background.For this edition, the musical text that Johannes Brahms prepared for the Schubert Gesamtausgabe has been revised and corrected on the basis of a thorough comparison with Schubert's manuscript. The surviving piano sketches for the symphony, including the incomplete third movement, are for the first time presented in the same volume with the score; the orchestrated fragment of the third movement is also reprinted. The complex history of the symphony and the riddle of its incompleteness are traced in essays referring to original source material, while the editor's detailed analysis and his selection of views and comments (ranging from a review of the first performance up to the present) acquaint the reader with the views of such figures as Wolf, Dvor̆ák, Stravinsky, and Copland. A selective bibliography is also provided. -- from dust jacket.

Unfinished History
Author: David Montgomery
Publisher: Universal-Publishers
ISBN: 1627346457
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
David Montgomery’s Unfinished History challenges the traditional story of Franz Schubert’s B-minor Symphony and searches for a more credible account of this great work. Written for all Schubert lovers from lay readers to musicians and musicologists, the book reviews a strangely persistent mythology concerning the symphony, continuing with the first in-depth examination of its manuscript and related documents. Details of handwriting, notation, paper, watermarks, compositional procedures, and stylistic contexts suggest a new year and country of origin for the “Unfinished” Symphony, a possible explanation for the absence of a finale in the sketches, and an alternative account of the score’s disappearance and prolonged sequestration. The author concludes with an essay on performing the work in the context of its own times. The story of the Unfinished has been based partly upon three conflicting letters written in old age by Schubert’s former secretary long after the composer’s death. A fourth document in this insupportable mythology is a photograph of a lost letter purportedly sent from Schubert to the Styrian Music Society in Graz, promising to send them a symphony. Many historians still believe the letter to be genuine, despite the fact that its signature has been traced. David Montgomery’s handwriting analysis finally identifies the real writer of this odd missive, clearing a further path to new research.

Schubert's Symphony in B Minor (" Unfinished").
Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B Minor D. 759 (unfinished)
Schubert
Author: Brian Newbould
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520219571
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
Of all the great composers, none - not even Mozart - has been so dogged by myth and misunderstanding as Franz Schubert. The notion of Schubert as a pudgy, lovelorn Bohemian schwammerl (mushroom) scribbling tunes on the back of menus in idle moments has never quite been eradicated. In this major new biography, Brian Newbould balances discussion of Schubert's compositions with an exploration of biographical influences that shaped his musical aesthetics. Schubert: The Music and the Man offers an eminently readable description of a musician who was compulsively dedicated to his art - a composer so prolific that he produced over a thousand works in eighteen years. Gifted with an intuitive know-how, coupled with a Mozartian facility for composition, Schubert combined the relish and wonder of an amateur with the discipline and technical rigor of a professional. He moved quickly and comfortably among genres, and sometimes composed directly into score but many pieces required painstaking revision before they satisfied his growing self-criticism. Examining afresh the enigmas surrounding Schubert's religious outlook, his loves, his sexuality, his illness and death, Newbould offers above all a celebration of a unique genius, an idiosyncratic composer of an astonishing body of powerful, enduring music.

Returning Cycles

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
"Fisk's portrayal of Schubert is based on evidence from the composer's hand, both verbal (song texts and his written words) and musical (vocal and instrumental). Noting extraordinary aspects of tonality, structure, and gestural content, Fisk argues that through his music Schubert sought to alleviate his apparent sense of exile and his anticipation of early death. Fisk supports this view through close analysis of the cyclic connections within and between the works he explores, finding in them complex musical narratives that attempt to come to terms with mortality, alienation, hope, and desire."--BOOK JACKET.
