Book Description
This book examines the concepts behind a philosophical project on postmodernism: the social and cultural condition of our time, the age of the achieved capitalism. It proposes an original theory of postmodern humanism based on the absence of form and describes the development of philosophical thought as a musical “cadenza” that produces meaning in the empty space between the past of the modern and the future of the postmodern. The book focuses on three main postmodernist themes: the denial of identity and the assertion of the differences, the shattered subject, and the absence of teleology in history and politics.

The Classical Woodwind Cadenza
Author: David Lasocki
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Cadences (Music)
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
Many modern performers of Classical woodwind music use cadenzas that have a harmonic vocabulary, length, range and expression more suitable for late Romantic than Classical music. The Romantic period directly followed the Classical one, and its performer-composers wrote cadenzas in the style of their own music for use in their performances of earlier music. Hummel's cadenzas for Mozart's piano concertos are prime examples. In the same spirit, the modern performer separated in time from both Classical and Romantic performance practices would compose cadenzas in a style familiar to him, such as avant-garde or rock! The particular goal of this workbook is to show modern woodwind players how to compose effective cadenzas in the Classical style for the Classical concertos they perform -- the concertos by Mozart and his contemporaries. - Preface.
