Book Description
People chat about music every day, but they also treat it as a limit, as the boundary of what is sayable. By addressing different perspectives and traditions that form and inform the speaking of music in Western culture--musical, literary, philosophical, semiotic, political--this volume offers a unique snapshot of today's scholarship on speech about music. The range of considerations and material is wide. Among others, they include the words used to interpret musical works (such as those of Beethoven), the words used to channel musical practices (whether Bach's, Rousseau's, or Hispanic political protesters'), and the words used to represent music (whether in a dialogue by Plato, in a story by Balzac, or in an Italian popular song). The contributors consider the ways that music may slide by words, as in the performance of an Akpafu dirge or in Messiaen, and the ways that music may serve as an embodied figure, as in the writings of Diderot or in the sound and body art of Henri Chopin. The book concludes with an essay by Jean-Luc Nancy.
SONOROUS No. 1
Author: Harold Gutierrez
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780997866841
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
SONOROUS No. 1 emphasizes the technical aspects of the first encounter of the young student with the piano. The first seven pieces are written with the primary elements: basic rhythm, coordination of fingers with their numbering response and hands alternation, over black keys. All these based on the principle in which rhythm is the foundation of music understanding; but always with interesting melodies and sophisticated harmonic implications. The next set of pieces includes more elements of music notation such as melodic contour, pitch direction and simple hand coordination, while reading in the staff around the middle C and on C position. Tempo marks, dynamics and accidentals are only used in the second half of the book after solidifying the basic elements. With the teacher's guidance and advice, the student will keep focus on the performance aspects and will build confidence about the new concepts understanding them through their practical use while listening to his/her musical achievements. Theory is not the main aspect in this book; it is not a method. Instead, "music making" is the primary goal acknowledging the capabilities of children in our current high-tech-digital modern era in which the young minds ?absorb? at an incredible pace. Friendly technical material (scales and exercises) can be found as bonus at the end of the book.
