Pages : 526
Book Description
A History of Twentieth-Century Music in a Theoretic-Analytical Context is an integrated account of the genres and concepts of twentieth-century art music, organized topically according to aesthetic, stylistic, technical, and geographic categories, and set within the larger political, social, economic, and cultural framework. While the organization is topical, it is historical within that framework. Musical issues interwoven with political, cultural, and social conditions have had a significant impact on the course of twentieth-century musical tendencies and styles. The goal of this book is to provide a theoretic-analytical basis that will appeal to those instructors who want to incorporate into student learning an analysis of the musical works that have reflected cultural influences on the major musical phenomena of the twentieth century. Focusing on the wide variety of theoretical issues spawned by twentieth-century music, A History of Twentieth-Century Music in a Theoretic-Analytical Context reflects the theoretical/analytical essence of musical structure and design.

Book Description
This study focuses on a repertoire that established the twentieth-century wind quintet. This new genre is anchored on three canonic wind quintets written between 1922 and 1924: the Kvintet op. 43 of Carl Nielsen, Paul Hindemith's Kleine Kammermusik op. 24, no 2, and the Bläserquintett op. 26 by Arnold Schoenberg. Nielsen's score for the men in the Copenhagen Wind Quintet, confirmed in reminiscence by Svend Felumb, shows idiosyncratic instrumental and novel performer characterizations, as it expands instrumental range and timbre. His narrative and temporal program, with its anthropomorphic characterizations, opened a new world of rich color and expressive articulation. The Kleine Kammermusik demonstrates Hindemith's quest for a social and musical democracy with its melodic and textural teamwork. The quintet reveals new instrumental timbres, an expanded emotional range, novel textural combinations, and instrumental virtuosity based on strong motoric movement. Schoenberg's op. 26 stands as a laboratory for his twelve-tone technique, and as the presentation piece for his new theoretical system. With its formidable technical demands and arduous instrumental interactions, Schoenberg magnified the conventional limits of early twentieth-century technique and facility, anticipating and telegraphing a new instrumental virtuosity for the future. Correspondence in the Arnold Schoenberg Collection, Library of Congress, between Schoenberg and Alban Berg, Anton Webern, Hindemith, Paul Hagemann, Paul von Klenau, Alexander von Zemlinsky, Felix Greissle, Rudolf Kolisch, and Hermann Scherchen, reveals little-known connections between the Kvintet, the Kleine Kammermusik, and Op. 26. Letters by Berg to his wife reveal the unexplored connection between Schoenberg's Op. 26 and Berg's Chamber Concerto, originally intended as a work for the Copenhagen Wind Quintet. Premieres, performances, and reviews from Danish, German, French, and American newspapers provide historical context and contemporary perceptions. Analysis reveals remarkable and unrecognized commonalities between Nielsen's and Hindemith's quintets, with that of Schoenberg's Op. 26. Nielsen, Hindemith, and Schoenberg contributed to defining what is now recognized as one of the most important developments in the history of twentieth-century wind music--the renaissance of the wind quintet--as they raised and ennobled the genre, ensuring its continuation into the twenty-first century.
