Beethoven's French Piano
Author: Tom BeghinPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226818365
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
Using a replica of Beethoven’s Erard piano, scholar and performer Tom Beghin launches a striking reinterpretation of a key period of Beethoven’s work. In 1803 Beethoven acquired a French piano from the Erard Frères workshop in Paris. The composer was “so enchanted with it,” one visitor reported, “that he regards all the pianos made here as rubbish by comparison.” While Beethoven loved its sound, the touch of the French keyboard was much heavier than that of the Viennese pianos he had been used to. Hoping to overcome this drawback, he commissioned a local technician to undertake a series of revisions, with ultimately disappointing results. Beethoven set aside the Erard piano for good in 1810. Beethoven’s French Piano returns the reader to this period of Beethoven’s enthusiasm for all things French. What traces of the Erard’s presence can be found in piano sonatas like his “Waldstein” and “Appassionata”? To answer this question, Tom Beghin worked with a team of historians and musicians to commission the making of an accurate replica of the Erard piano. As both a scholar and a recording artist, Beghin is uniquely positioned to guide us through this key period of Beethoven’s work. Whether buried in archives, investigating the output of the French pianists who so fascinated Beethoven, or seated at the keyboard of his Erard, Beghin thinks and feels his way into the mind of the composer, bringing startling new insights into some of the best-known piano compositions of all time.

Grande Sonate
Author: Johann Friedrich ReichardtPublisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3754389327
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Reichardt's fortunes rose and fell all within his own lifetime but after a difficult early education he was commonly accepted as gifted composer with a talent for the lyric style. Astyle he was to cultivate in over 1,500 songs. A casual proponent of the 'Sturm und Drang' movement this Grande Sonate for piano hails from the closing years of his life and exemplifies the lightness of touch of a mature composer in his prime. --- Reichardts Vermögensverhältnisse waren zeit seines Lebens starken Schwankungen unterworfen. Nach diversen Schwierigkeiten eine adäquate Schulausbildung zu erhalten, gelang es ihm schliesslich, als begabter Komponist mit einem Talent für den lyrischen Stil akzeptiert zu werden, einem Stil, den er in über 1.500 Liedern kultivieren würde. Als eher lässige Vertreterin der Sturm und Drang - Bewegung ist diese 'Grande Sonate für Klavier' ein Gruss aus den letzten Jahren seines Lebens und zeigt in beispielhafter Weise die Leichtigkeit des Anschlages eines reifen Komponisten in seinen besten Jahren.

The Sonata
Author: Thomas Schmidt-BestePublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107310547
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
What is a sonata? Literally translated, it simply means 'instrumental piece'. It is the epitome of instrumental music, and is certainly the oldest and most enduring form of 'pure' and independent instrumental composition, beginning around 1600 and lasting to the present day. Schmidt-Beste analyses key aspects of the genre including form, scoring and its social context - who composed, played and listened to sonatas? In giving a comprehensive overview of all forms of music which were called 'sonatas' at some point in musical history, this book is more about change than about consistency - an ensemble sonata by Gabrieli appears to share little with a Beethoven sonata, or a trio sonata by Corelli with one of Boulez's piano sonatas, apart from the generic designation. However, common features do emerge, and the look across the centuries - never before addressed in a single-volume survey - opens up new and significant perspectives.
