The Life and Music of John Field, 1782-1837, Creator of the Nocturne
Author: Patrick Piggott
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520024120
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Apart from the fact that John Field invented the nocturne, very little has been known about the composer and his strange and colorful life. Although is compositions were once widely popular, they are now neglected and misunderstood and even his beautiful nocturnes are seldom played. The author makes the first important reassessment of the composer's life and music, following Field's career from his childhood as an infant prodigy in Dublin and then as Clementi's pupil in London, through his brilliantly successfully years as the favorite of St. Petersburg and Moscow society, the vicissitudes of his love life, his final appearance in London and Paris, his unhappy years of wandering through Europe, to his eventual return to Moscow where he died in 1837. The nature of Field's greatness as a pianist is extensively discussed and the accounts of his teaching and playing methods are based on the numerous and detailed impressions of the composer's pupils and friends. All Field's known compositions are fully considered, including several works recently discovered by the author. Together with the many illustrations and music examples, this is a brilliant study of a composer whose music is at last put into perspective.

Twelve-Tone Tonality, Second Edition
Author: George Perle
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520201422
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The challenge, in twentieth-century music, to the normative status of triadic tonality is one of the most far-reaching and extreme revolutions that the history of music has known. In his classic work, Twelve-Tone Tonality, George Perle argues that the seemingly disparate styles of post-triadic music in fact share common structural elements. According to Perle, these elements collectively imply a new tonality as "natural" and coherent as the major-minor tonality that was the basis of a common musical language in the past. His book describes the foundational assumptions of this post-diatonic tonality and illustrates its compositional functions with numerous musical examples. The second edition of Twelve-Tone Tonality is enlarged by eleven new chapters. Some of these are "postscripts" to earlier chapters, clarifying, elucidating, and expanding upon concepts discussed in the original edition. Others discuss new developments in the theory and practice of twelve-tone tonality, including voice-leading implications of the system and dissonance treatment. Errors discovered in the original edition have been corrected. - Jacket flap.
