Cambridge University Press Bach The Goldberg Variations
Book SynopsisBach's spectacular Goldberg Variations represent a high point in the whole repertory of keyboard music, particularly for the harpsichord. This book takes a detailed look at their historical origins, what their exceptionally intricate plan is, what kind of impact they have had, and how their mysterious beauty has been created.Trade ReviewPeter Williams manages to pack in an extraordinary amount of information about the work's background, compositional techniques and structures, and reception history. His consideration of the work's relationships to a large amount of other music is particularly remarkable. The writing style is fresh and engaging and the material presented clearly and concisely. We can safely say that Williams's book will be the fundamental work on its subject for years to come.' Eighteenth-Century MusicTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Background and genesis; 2. Overall shape; 3. The movements; 4. Questions of reception; Appendix: the intended harpsichord.

Cambridge University Press The Keyboard in Baroque Europe Musical Performance and Reception
Book SynopsisTwelve of today's most distinguished scholar-performers offer essays in this volume on new and intriguing aspects of baroque keyboard music. Topics include fresh evidence on music of the seventeenth century (Frescobaldi, Froberger and Purcell), the place of the keyboard in concerted music and on comparative teaching methods (Couperin, Marpurg and Roeser), studies of the repertoire of J. S. Bach and his sons (including ornamentation in C. P. E. Bach and the Polonaises of Wilhelm Friedemann), and writing on the later eighteenth century (including Mozart) and on matters of repertoire and performance practice (continuo playing, improvisation). The volume gives a balanced picture of the latest theories and discoveries in keyboard music, of interest to both academic and performing musicians, and includes a new arrangement for keyboard of Bach's D minor Violin Partita, published here for the first time.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'The very experienced writers know how to relate particular issues to broader contexts, so there is much for the enthusiast, and several of the articles will henceforth be standards on my reading lists.'

Cambridge University Press The Spectral Piano
Book SynopsisThe most influential compositional movement of the past fifty years, spectralism was informed by digital technology but also extended the aesthetics of pianist-composers such as Liszt, Scriabin and Debussy. In The Spectral Piano, Marilyn Nonken explores these shared fascinations and the parallels between the movement's contemporary aesthetics and psychological research.Trade Review'Marilyn Nonken belongs to a generation of new music performers who bring subtlety, nuance and even humour to complex music; hers is the leading recording of the piano music of Tristan Murail, who is one of the composers featured in her new book, The Spectral [Piano]. A great value of Dr Nonken's study is that she sets the Spectral movement in a wide historical context, going back indeed to Liszt and Scriabin; another that she demonstrates the influence of Murail and Gérard Grisey (together with their teacher Messiaen) on composers beyond France, arguing convincingly for the far-reaching influence and implications of Spectral concerns. What is particularly welcome is that here is a scholar whose writing carries particular authority, based as it is on her experience of understanding and communicating the music as its performer.' Peter Hill, University of Sheffield'Marilyn Nonken's new book on spectral music for the piano is a screaming success … Few books can boast as much, and it is gratifying to encounter an international concert performer who can make so engaging a discourse around her core repertoire.' Bob Gilmore, TempoTable of Contents1. An intimate history; 2. Itinerary; 3. Protospectralists at the piano; 4. The first generation; 5. The spectral effect; 6. Spectral music and its pianistic expression Hugues Dufourt.

Cambridge University Press French Organ Music in the Reign of Louis XIV
Book SynopsisPonsford takes a fresh approach to French Baroque organ music by analysing each genre chronologically and tracing influences from Italian and French secular music. The study enhances understanding of French influence on J. S. Bach, and will appeal to all those who play, study and admire this unique repertory.Trade Review'Here is a book the organ world has been waiting for: an authoritative account of French Baroque organ music from Louis Couperin to Clérambault, based on an examination of the repertoire by genre rather than simply by composer, thus revealing many new insights. Moreover, the links between stylistic analysis and performance practice make the book essential reading for both performers and scholars.' Kenneth Gilbert'David Ponsford's analytical book on French classical organ music is a very welcome addition to the small number of works in English on this subject … The book is well indexed and I suspect that the work's true value will be as a reference tool for organists wrestling with performance issues for specific composers and pieces. This book is a must-have for any serious organist.' William McVicker, Choir and Organ'An invaluable aid to understanding and appreciating its subject.' Early MusicTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Genre; 3. The conventions of notes inégales; 4. Ornaments; 5. Fingering; 6. The influence of Italian music; 7. Plein jeu; 8. Fugue; 9. Duo; 10. Récit de dessus; 11. Récit en taille; 12.

Book SynopsisGraham Griffiths places Stravinsky's reinvention in the early 1920s, as both neoclassical composer and concert-pianist, at the centre of a fundamental reconsideration of the composer's entire output - viewed from the unprecedented perspective of his relationship with the piano.Trade Review'… an eloquently written monograph that traces the influence of Stravinsky's pianism on his compositional process … Stravinsky's Piano is a resounding success that will be celebrated by the Stravinsky community for years to come.' Music and Letters'This is a well-written, engaging book that delves into technical discussion of compositional processes while remaining eminently readable … Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and professionals.' K. Boyd, Choice'With this extremely readable book, Griffiths has made a significant contribution to Stravinsky research.

University of Illinois Press The Accordion in the Americas
Book SynopsisAn invention of the Industrial Revolution, the accordion provided the less affluent with an inexpensive, loud, portable, and durable 'one-man-orchestra' capable of producing melody, harmony, and bass all at once. Imported from Europe into the Americas, the accordion with its distinctive sound became a part of the aural landscape for millions of people but proved to be divisive: while the accordion formed an integral part of working-class musical expression, bourgeois commentators often derided it as vulgar and tasteless. This rich collection considers the accordion and its myriad forms, from the concertina, button accordion, and piano accordion familiar in European and North American music to the exotic-sounding South American bandoneon and the sanfoninha. Capturing the instrument''s spread and adaptation to many different cultures in North and South America, contributors illuminate how the accordion factored into power struggles over aesthetic values between elites aTrade Review"An excellent collection of ethnomusicology scholarship that will be of interest to those who like world music, ethnography, or unusual instruments."--Library Journal"This book should help lift the accordion's reputation to the place it deserves for its role in music history. Highly recommended."--Choice"The Accordion in the Americas offers a history rich in insights drawn from the complex intertwining of society, race and culture in American music-making."--Times Literary Supplement"The Accordion in the Americas tells of the symbolism of the accordion and the role the instrument and its genres play in a variety of cultures. Few world instruments are as pervasive as the accordion and few are as under-represented in scholarly literature."--Journal of Folklore Research"Ridiculed as the old-world instrument of minority ethnic groups, the accordion has also been largely dismissed as a topic of historical or folkloristic inquiry. This edited volume rights this wrong and traces the accordion from its central European roots to 11 regional forms in the Americas. In this volume, the accordion has received its due recognition and respect as a folk instrument."--Journal of American Folklore"An in-depth introduction to the mechanical, musical, and social workings of free-reed instruments in the New World."--Journal of the Society for American Music"This cultural study of the accordion makes a major contribution to understanding the instrument's important social function within different ethnic cultures. The impressive group of contributors illuminates the importance of studying mass culture and indicates the accordion's enduring significance to many cultural and personal identities."--Victor R.
