Musical Ornamentation
Author: Edward Dannreuther
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781508534105
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
A DEBT of gratitude is due to the author from pianists and musicians generally for this complete and careful collection of facts respecting musical ornamentation. It is true that of the "graces," to use the quaint old English term, many are already obsolete, while others are gradually disappearing. But, if only for the fact that Sebastian Bach makes extensive use of so many, they cannot be ignored. For the sake alone of that great musician, some of them must be understood : for it is only through clear comprehension of the letter that we can arrive at the spirit of that master, whose works, in spite of some antiquated embellishments, seem to defy the ravages of time. It is strange that though several books contain explanations concerning the execution of "graces," yet, as Mr. Dannreuther shows, in the practical application of the same, many puzzling questions arise. The history of the rise and progress of ornaments commences with Diruta's "Dialogo" and the Italian composers, Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli and Merulo; and then a chapter is devoted to the famous "Parthenia, or the Maidenhead of the first Musicko that ever was printed for the Virginals." It is apparently among the early English masters that are to be found the earliest instances of a species of stenography to indicate ornaments in music for keyed instruments. Mr. Dannreuther has made an elaborate study of the "Parthenia" music, and his severe strictures on modern transcribers lead one to hope that he will one day bring out an ungarbled version of it. While ornaments constitute his special theme, he introduces many a pleasant aside: as, for instance, in the chapter on Dieupart's "Suittes de Clavecin," in which he demonstrates how Bach "transfigured and glorified" some of his predecessor's music. From Spitta we know how Bach admired Dieupart's "Suittes," but Mr. Dannreuther shows us what a practical form that admiration took. It would occupy many a column were we to attempt even to notice the points of special interest in this volume, but we must hasten on to the last chapter on Joh. Sebastian Bach, which occupies close on a quarter of the book. Mr. Dannreuther deals with a difficult matter in an astonishingly simple way, and students of Bach will find it a wonderful help in interpreting his clavier music. The few general precepts with which it opens seem at once to make many a rough place plain. The very first, respecting the diatonic character of Bach's ornaments, is of the utmost importance : we could mention the name of an illustrious pianist who, by non-observance of this simple precept, has robbed one of Bach's Fugues of much of its quaint dignity. With regard to shakes starting ex abrupto... -The Academy and Literature, Volume 43 [1893]

Memories and Commentaries
Author: Igor Stravinsky
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520044029
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
For the first time in one volume--the celebrated Stravinsky and Craft Conversations Few would dispute that Igor Stravinsky was the greatest composer of the twentieth century. Conductor and writer Robert Craft was his closest colleague and friend, and for over twenty-one years he lived with the Stravinskys in their Hollywood home. In the early 1950s he accompanied the composer on his concert tours, and from the mid-1950s to Stravinsky's death in 1971 he co-conducted his concerts. Together Stravinsky and Craft published five acclaimed collections known as the Conversations series, which sprung from informal talks between the two men. In this newly edited and re-structured one-volume version, Craft brings Stravinsky's reflections on his childhood, his family life, professional associates, and personal relationships into sharper focus and places the major compositions in their cultural milieux. The Conversations books are the only published writing attributed to Stravinsky that are actually "by him" in terms of fidelity to his thoughts and opinions, making this volume required reading for all fans and students of Stravinsky's music.
