 Free Download David Beach, "Three Schenkerian-Based Studies: Chamber Works by Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms" English | ISBN: 3487162504 | 2022 | 108 pages | PDF | 3 MB Three Schenkerian-Based Studies is an in-depth examination of three giants of the 19th-century chamber music literature: Mendelssohn's Sixth String Quartet in F Minor, op. 80, written in 1847 in response to the death of his sister, Fanny Hensel; Schumann's ground-breaking Piano Quintet in E-flat, op. 44, written in 1842; and Brahms's dynamic Piano Quintet in F Minor, op. 34, of 1862. This volume is unique in at least two respects: first, it presents the only complete study of these three important works; and second, it contains detailed Schenkerian graphs of all twelve movements, which should be of considerable value to all those interested in Schenker's ideas and their application. In addition, the consideration of voice-leading structure is, in all cases, preceded by a thorough discussion of aspects of formal design, and, where appropriate, observations on narrative/programmatic matters. This volume is directed at all serious musicians interested in these works, especially the extended music theory community.

Free Download Robert Bauval, "Secret Chamber Revisited: The Quest for the Lost Knowledge of Ancient Egypt Ed 2" English | ISBN: 1591431921 | 2014 | 592 pages | EPUB | 9 MB A firsthand, behind-the-scene account of the controversies surrounding modern explorations at Giza  Zaifu Liu, Yunzhong Shu, "Reflections on Dream of the Red Chamber" English | 2008 | pages: 331 | ISBN: 1604975245 | PDF | 1,2 mb This book is the much awaited English translation of Liu Zaifu's book, Reflections on Dream of the Red Chamber. The book consists of three parts-reflections on Dream of the Red Chamber, comments on Dream of the Red Chamber, and discussions on Dream of the Red Chamber. There is also an appendix, "A Discussion of the Philosophy in Dream of the Red Chamber," a speech delivered by Liu Zaifu at the Institute of Philosophy, Central University and at the Chinese Department of Tunghai University, Taiwan, in December 2005. The first part comprises two hundred and four personal reflections on all aspects of Dream of the Red Chamber, the undisputed best traditional novel in China. The second part contains three essays on the spiritual value of the novel, the feeling of repentance and the transcendental philosophical viewpoint in the novel. The third part includes thirteen discussions of various characters and episodes in the novel. The appendix discusses the philosophy in the novel. As the best traditional novel in Chinese literature, Dream of the Red Chamber has attracted a tremendous amount of critical attention over the last hundred years and has given rise to a scholarly field commonly referred to as "redology." In contrast to the works on the novel by other scholars, Liu's book stands out with its personal, intuitive approach. Instead of engaging himself in evidential research, as many scholars in the field have done, Liu reflects on the spiritual orientation and the philosophical implications in the novel from a personal perspective. In so doing he infuses his reflections with his personal experience, his interpretations of works in Chinese literature and world literature, and his philosophical views. Influenced by Zen, Liu's book makes a connection between Dream of the Red Chamber and real life as it exalts the values and philosophical understandings in the novel. Reflections on Dream of the Red Chamber, with its highly original approach to its subject, will be an essential resource for English-speaking readers interested in the classical novel as well as those interested in contemporary literary criticism in China.  John H. Baron, "Intimate Music: A History of the Idea of Chamber Music" English | 2003 | ISBN: 1576471004, 1576470180 | PDF | pages: 503 | 43.3 mb This is the first comprehensive overview of instrumental chamber music from the 16th century to the present. There are comparisons of different genres, composers, and periods. Situations for chamber music at different moments in history are brought into a continuum, and all aspects of chamber music are placed into perspective. A History of the Idea of Chamber Music is chronologically organized at the most general level. Beyond that, national schools figure prominently, as well as genres and personalities. Throughout this book the composition of chamber music, the performance of chamber music, and the social, economic, political, and aesthetic conditions for chamber music have been considered per se and as they interact. (From the Introduction)  Beethoven's Symphonies Arranged for the Chamber: Sociability, Reception, and Canon Formation English | 2021 | ISBN: 1108831753 | 277 Pages | PDF | 13 MB Early nineteenth-century composers, publishers and writers evolved influential ideals of Beethoven's symphonies as untouchable masterpieces. Meanwhile, many and various arrangements of symphonies, principally for amateur performers, supported diverse and 'hands-on' cultivation of the same works. Now mostly forgotten, these arrangements served a vital function in nineteenth-century musical life, extending works' meanings and reach, especially to women in the home. This book places domestic music-making back into the history of the classical symphony. It investigates a largely untapped wealth of early nineteenth-century arrangements of symphonies by Beethoven - for piano, string quartet, mixed quintet and other ensembles. The study focuses on three key agents in the nineteenth-century culture of musical arrangement: arrangers, publishers and performers. It investigates significant functions of those musical arrangements in the era: sociability, reception and canon formation. The volume also explores how conceptions of Beethoven's symphonies, and their arrangement, changed across the era with changing conception of musical works.
