Making the Marvelous
Author: Rori Bloom
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496231732
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
At a moment when France was coming to new prominence in the production of furniture and fashion, the fairy tales of Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy (1652–1705) and Henriette-Julie de Murat (1670–1716) gave pride of place to richly detailed descriptions of palaces, gardens, clothing, and toys. Through close readings of these authors’ descriptive prose, Rori Bloom shows how these practitioners of a supposedly minor genre made a major contribution as chroniclers and critics of the decorative arts in Old Regime France. Identifying these authors’ embrace of the pretty and the playful as a response to a frequent critique of fairy tales as childish and feminine, Making the Marvelous demonstrates their integration of artisan’s work, child’s play, and the lady’s toilette into a complex vision of creativity. D’Aulnoy and Murat changed the stakes of the fairy tale, Bloom argues: instead of inviting their readers to marvel at the magic that changes rags to riches, they enjoined them to acknowledge the skill that transforms raw materials into beautiful works of art.

You, Your Child and Music
Author: Barbara Schneiderman
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1462040187
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Pianist, author, lecturer and beloved teacher, Barbara Schneiderman shows how parent and child can come together around the joys of making music. This book is both playful and profound, clearly describing how to engage and transform children of all ages into lovers of music--listening and performing. Chapters range from ways to inspire beginning students to detailed analysis of music theory and composition. They reflect the author's remarkable career, which began when she performed on the radio at age 11. An admiring listener recommended her to Sydney Foster, the first of several renowned teachers, including Horazio Frugoni, Walter Piston, and Aube Tzerko. She conducted a "Musical Nursery" for the children of graduate students in the living room of her married student apartment at Harvard. She went on to provide private lessons to award-winning students in both the Suzuki and traditional system. Her master classes were in great demand around the country. Barbara gained degrees from Harvard, the Royal Academy in London, and the University of California San Diego, and enjoyed a long career of amateur and professional chamber music recitals. An earlier book, Confident Music Performance: The Art of Preparing, is considered a classic in the field.
