60 Handel Overtures Arranged for Solo Keyboard
Author: George Frideric Handel
Publisher: Courier Corporation
ISBN: 0486277445
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
The dramatic overture had its beginnings in Renaissance court entertainments, which often began with a flourish of trumpets. It reached a high point of inspiration in the overtures that George Frideric Handel (1685 1759) composed for his operas and oratorios. This volume presents 60 Handel overtures and sinfonias, originally scored for orchestra, superbly arranged for solo keyboard. They have been reprinted from an extremely rare edition originally printed, probably in the 1750s, by Handel's London publisher, John Walsh. Happily, these brilliant works have lost nothing in translation of their Handelian vitality and interest. Many of them, such as the overtures to "Messiah, Acis and Galatea, Alexander s Feast, Julius Caesar, "the second overture in "Solomon" (known as the "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba"), and the so-called Water Musick, are very familiar to music lovers. Some will be fresh discoveries for keyboard players. Together they demonstrate Handel s exciting theatrical sense, his technical virtuosity in composition, and his dazzling mastery of musical forms, which he often combined into his own unique creations. This edition preserves the original keyboard notation, amazingly precise in its elegant execution and, of course, entirely legible to present-day performers."

Simon Silber
Author: Christopher Miller
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780241141458
Category : Fiction
Languages : no
Pages : 244
Book Description
En munter debutroman av den amerikanske forfatteren Christopher Miller. Skrevet som en forklarende tekst til en samlet utgave musikkopptak av den nylig avdøde modernistiske komponisten Simon Silber, skrevet av mannen som like før Silbers død fikk i oppdrag å skrive hans biografi. Vi får et inntrykk av at komponisten var a) muligens gal, b) en sjarlatan, c) at biografen hatet ham og d) at denne kan ha hatt mer enn bare litt å gjøre med komponistens tidlige bortgang. Boken har fått god mottagelse i England og USA. Stor heftet utgave.

ISBN: 1136091467
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
The Keyboard Music of J.S. Bach provides an introduction to and comprehensive discussion of all the music for harpsichord and other stringed keyboard instruments by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750).

Intended as both a practical guide and an interpretive study, the book consists of three introductory chapters on general matters of historical context, style, and performance practice, followed by fifteen chapters on the individual works, treated in roughly chronological order. The works discussed include all of Bach's individual keyboard compositions as well as those comprising his famous collections, such as the Well-Tempered Clavier, the English and French Suites, and the Art of Fugue.
