Book Description
In 1771, in the midst of a successful tour of Italy, Mozart received a commission to write a dramatic serenata for the marriage of the Archduke Ferdinand. This serenata so overshadowed Hasse's new opera, which was composed for the same occasion, that Hasse is reported to have said the prophetic words: "This boy will cause us all to be forgotten." In the same year Mozart composed his first divertimento (K.113), the first of some twenty-three that he composed during his lifetime. He was not yet 16 years old. The seventeen works in this edition range from K.113 to K.334 and span the years 1771 to 1779. These short, sparkling, brilliant pieces were created for a typical ensemble of 6 to 14 players for strings, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, horns, flute, trumpets, and drums. They have been reproduced from the definitive Breitkopf & H�rtel Complete Works Edition. They include No. 1 in E-flat Major, K.113; No. 2 in D Major, K.131; No. 3 in E-flat Major, K.166; No. 4 in B-flat Major, K.186; No. 5 in C Major, K.187; No. 6 in C Major, K.188; No. 7 in D Major, K.205; No. 8 in F Major, K.213; No. 9 in B-flat Major, K.240; No. 10 in F Major, K.247; No. 11 in D Major, K.251; No. 12 in E-flat Major, K.252; No. 13 in F Major, K.253; No. 14 in B-flat Major, K.270; No. 15 in B-flat Major, K.287; No. 16 in E-flat Major, K.289; and No. 17 in D Major, K.334. Often recorded and performed, the 17 divertimenti are increasingly popular with music lovers and essential for Mozart enthusiasts. All the music has been reproduced in a size large enough to be read easily, with large noteheads, wide margins, and pages that lie flat and will not fall out. This edition is practical for almost any use, whether as a study guide, a reference, or a companion for more knowledgeable and enjoyable listening.

Pages : 495
Book Description
"... I put my head in my hands for a few moments to try to grasp the situation. I was sitting in a dusty 18th century room with a young man dressed in a brown waistcoat, white ruffled shirt, and knee-length pants with silk stockings who was telling me in some sort of archaic German that it was 1770." Corno da Capo is a fantasy historical novel written especially for French horn players and musicians interested historical performance and music history. The general reader will also enjoy the story and learn much about European court musicians and traveling soloists in the last quarter of the 18th century. The story follows the adventures of John Paulson, 21st century American horn player, who finds himself dropped into Paris in the year 1770, and how he survives and pursues a brilliant career as the 18th century Bohemian horn soloist Johann Palsa. Upon his arrival, he is befriended by horn player Carl Türrschmidt, and during their many adventures together, they become the most celebrated horn duo of the time. This fictionalized story of these actual 18th century horn players, who were superstars during their lifetimes, is based on the relatively little information that has come down to us about them. The documented information about their lives is presented in the notes at the back of the book.

Celestial Music?
Author: Wilfrid Mellers
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 9780851158440
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Articles on masterpieces of European religious music, from the middle ages to Stravinsky and Tavener. The late Wilfrid Mellers, who occupies a special place among music critics, described himself as a non-believer; but his preference for music that "displays a sense of the numinous" (in his words) will strike a chord with many wholisten to religious music nowadays, and who share his view that music that confronts first and last things is likely to offer more than music that evades them. The essays form five groups, which together offer a survey of religious music from around the first millennium to the beginning of the second, in the context of the difficult issues of what religious music is, and, for good measure, what is religion? The parts are: The Ages of Christian Faith; The Re-birth of a Re-birth: From Renaissance to High Baroque; From Enlightenment to Doubt; From "the Death of God" to "the Unanswered Question"; and The Ancient Law and the Modern Mind. Musical discussion, with copious examples, is conducted throughout the book in a context that is also religious - and indeed philosophical, social, and political, with the open-endedness that such an approach demands in the presentation of ideas aboutmusic's most fundamental nature and purposes. COMPOSERS: Hildegard of Bingen; Perotin; Machaut; Dunstable, Dufay; William Corniyshes father and son; Tallis; Byrd; Monteverdi; Schutz; J.S. Bach; Couperin; Handel; Haydn;Mozart; Beethoven; Schubert; Bruckner; Berlioz, Faure; Verdi, Brahms; Elgar, Delius; Holst, Vaughan Williams, Howells; Britten; Janacek; Messiaen, Poulenc; Rachmaninov; Stravinsky; Part, Tavener, Gorecki, Macmillan, Finnissy; Copland.
