The Influence of Carlos Prieto on Contemporary Cello Music
Author: Alán Saúl Saucedo Estrada
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 0761863273
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This book includes biographical information on Carlos Prieto, his contributions to music, as well as a detailed catalog of 72 pieces commissioned and/or dedicated to him. A graduate of MIT and a former director of Fundidora, the biggest steel company in Mexico, Carlos Prieto decided at the age of 38 to abandon his career as a business man and become a full time professional cellist. Since then he has premiered over 90 pieces, most of them commissioned and/or dedicated to him by Latin-American composers. These commissions and dedications represent about 50 percent of the music written for the cello by Latin-American composers. This is the first time a study has been conducted on this body of music.

Piano Works by Latin American Women Composers Born Between 1850 and 1950
Author: Ana Gabriela Calderón Cornejo
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Musicians
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The works and knowledge of predigital age Latin American women composers are rapidly disappearing. Only a few such women were able to overcome the regional societal norms and actively compose music. Unfortunately, their contributions are moving into obscurity in part due to the lack of exposure and limited cultural preservation programs in many countries. This dissertation strives to uncover and highlight a collection of at-risk compositions by Latin American women born between 1850 and 1950. Throughout this work, important information on five such composers has been documented by providing a short paper, an anthology, and recordings of some of their most relevant compositions. These materials demonstrate the composers' distinctive usage of mixtures of Native American, African, and European features that have always been a part of Latin American music traditions, while also heavily borrowing nationalistic features from their countries. The composers merge these elements with characteristics from folk, Indigenous, and Western music practices, building a truly unique style that is worth preserving. By shedding light on these remarkable composers, more pianists will become aware of these works and other compositions increasing their prominence within recitals and concerts. In this manner the contributions of these previously forgotten artists will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come.

Violin Dreams
Author: Arnold Steinhardt
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 9780547086002
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
"A rapturous, witty, and passionate memoir ... Violin Dreams is not only the story of a man becoming an artist, it’s a history of twentieth-century music.” -- John Guare, Tony Award-winning playwright Arnold Steinhardt, for more than forty years an international soloist and the first violinist of the Guarneri String Quartet, brings warmth, wit, and fascinating insider details to the story of his lifelong obsession with the violin, that most seductive and stunningly beautiful instrument. His story is rich with vivid scenes: the terror inflicted by his early violin teachers, the sensual pleasure involved in the pursuit of the perfect violin, the charged atmosphere of high-level competitions. Steinhardt describes Bach’s Chaconne as the holy grail for the solo violin, and he illuminates, from the perspective of an ardent owner of a great Storioni violin, the history and mysteries of the renowned Italian violinmakers. Violin Dreams includes a remarkable CD recording of Steinhardt performing Bach’s Partita in D Minor as a young violinist forty years ago and playing the same piece especially for this book. A conversation between the author and Alan Alda on the differences between the two performances is included in the liner notes.
