From childhood to fame, from singing to acting and broadcasting, from adoption to her recent search for her birth parents, Black By Design is a funny and enlightening story of music, race, family and roots.Trade ReviewGritty, witty and compelling * Elle *Black paints a vivid portrait of simmering racial tension in Britain after the Second World War ...

Globe Pequot Press Weight in the Fingertips
Book SynopsisBefore she knew she was Ukranian, Soviet, or Jewish, Inna Faliks knew she was a musician. Growing up in the city of Odessa, the piano became her best friend, and she explored the brilliant, intricate puzzles of Bach's Goldberg Variations and learned to compose under her mother's watchful eye. At ten, Faliks and her parents moved to Chicago as part of the tide of Jewish refugees who fled the USSR for the West in the 1980s. During the months-long immigration process, she would silently practice on kitchen tables while imagining a full set of piano keys beneath her fingertips. In Weight in the Fingertips, Faliks gives a globe-trotting account of her upbringing as a child prodigy in a Soviet state, the perils of immigration, the struggle of assimilating as an American, years of training with teachers, and her slow and steady rise in the world of classical music. With a warm and playful style, she helps non-musicians understand the experience of becoming a world-renowned concert p

WW Norton & Co The Lyrics 1956 to the Present
Book Synopsis#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A Washington Post Notable Book Excerpted in The New Yorker A work of unparalleled candor and splendorous beauty, The Lyrics celebrates the creative life and the musical genius of Paul McCartney through his most meaningful songs.Trade Review"To read over the words to these 154 songs is to be impressed not merely with McCartney’s productivity but with the fertility of his imagination and the potency of his offhand, unfussy style.... The Lyrics makes clear that McCartney has written on a high level long past his Beatles years, and even the weakest lyrics in the books have a character all their own: a feeling of giddy playfulness and unguarded experimentation. They’re a joy to read because they exude the joy their maker took in their making.... Over and over, McCartney shows how deeply he is steeped in literary history and how much his output as a songwriter has in common with the works of the likes of Dickens and Shakespeare." -- David Hajdu - New York Times Book Review"The Lyrics is a triumph. It is hugely readable, devoid of rock cliché, and full of fresh stories and opinions that even devoted fans won’t have encountered before. The pictures of McCartney and of handwritten lyrics, many of them never previously published, are worth the entry ticket on their own and the quality of the boxed product makes it a tactile pleasure and fun to possess.... The Lyrics is McCartney at his best." -- David Finklestein - The Times (UK)"Reading The Lyrics is like standing in a master chef’s kitchen as he prepares a dish, adding a dash of this and a spoonful of that and talking to us so winningly.... The Lyrics is able to cram in much more — show posters, set lists, handwritten notes, group photos both staged and casual.... There’s nothing like listening to Macca (as McCartney was known in his Liverpool days) talk about the rise of a band composed largely of working-class teens who changed the world forever.... Almost 60 years later, it’s still an amazing story.... Muldoon interviewed him for hours and coaxed out these charming commentaries." -- David Kirby - Washington Post"Careening from decade to decade, and invoking John Lennon on the regular, it is likely the closest thing to a memoir McCartney will ever publish, with lyric sheets and a hefty number of unseen personal photos of his family and The Beatles." -- Kim Willis - USA Today"Indeed, The Lyrics easily represents the finest collection of illustrations associated with McCartney's life and work. And it's beautifully rendered, to boot. Drop-dead gorgeous as books go, The Lyrics rivals the finest art imprints." -- Kenneth Womack - Salon"With a gravity, reverence and sense of occasion that hasn't been seen since the Levites rolled out the Ark of the Covenant, the complete lyrics of Paul McCartney are published at last." -- John Walsh - Sunday Times"An unparalleled look at [McCartney's] creativity process... The breadth of his influences is astonishing." -- Jordan Runtagh - People

The University of Chicago Press The Temple of Fame and Friendship
Book SynopsisThis book examines the renowned portrait collection assembled by C. P. E. Bach, J. S. Bach's second son. One of the most celebrated German composers of the eighteenth century, C. P. E. Bach spent decades assembling an extensive portrait collection of some four hundred music-related itemsfrom oil paintings to engraved prints. The collection was dispersed after Bach's death in 1788, but with Annette Richards's painstaking reconstruction, the portraits once again present a vivid panorama of music history and culture, reanimating the sensibility and humor of Bach's time. Far more than a mere multitude of faces, Richards argues, the collection was a major part of the composer's work that sought to establish music as an object of aesthetic, philosophical, and historical study. The Temple of Fame and Friendship brings C. P. E. Bach's collection to life, giving readers a sense of what it was like for visitors to tour the portrait gallery and experience music in rooms thick with the facesTrade Review“In this vividly drawn portrait of C. P. E. Bach’s gallery, Richards has illuminated much more than the art and act of collecting, and the range and recognition of Bach’s circle in Enlightenment arts and letters. She has reconstructed the shades of feeling animating musical character portraits, reimagined the resonances of playing and hearing music in a space filled with faces, and resituated the genius of Bach in a trans-European and transhistorical context that is nonetheless boldly particularized. Her demonstration that Bach’s collection was materially implicated in the self-conscious invention of music history toward the turn of the nineteenth century is one of the book’s most astonishing revelations.” * Elaine Sisman, Columbia University *“Not only a preserver of repertories from previous generations but also an indefatigable connoisseur of portraits, C. P. E. Bach amassed an immense collection that dazzled his contemporaries. In this fascinating book, Richards takes us into late eighteenth-century culture and details the ways Bach acquired, commissioned, displayed, composed, and performed portraits of the artists and intellectuals he admired.” * Susan McClary, Case Western Reserve University *“The Temple of Fame and Friendship is nothing less than a delightfully readable tapestry of a vast cultural world in which C. P. E. Bach held center stage. This is a formidable study that takes Bach’s collection as a provocation to understand portrait as an aspect of Enlightenment endeavor, in its theoretical underpinnings, and as a component in Bach’s idiosyncratic creative work. It probes the range of figures who populate the collection: the friends and acquaintances in Bach’s active musical world, the iconic figures who dwell in the histories and mythologies of the profession, and the painters and etchers whose portraiture enliven these pages.” * Richard Kramer, author of 'Cherubino’s Leap' *"Richards takes the reader on a tour of eighteenth-century portraiture, through seven chapters focused on exhibiting, collecting, speculating (on resemblance), character, friendship, feeling, and memorializing. Though the book is grounded in one individual’s collection, her observations are wide ranging and multidisciplinary. . . . I know of no other book that does justice to all these aspects of one of the most important composers of the eighteenth century." * BACH: Journal of the Riemenschneider Bach Institute *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1 Exhibiting: The Bach Gallery and the Art of Self-Fashioning Chapter 2 Collecting: C.

Princeton University Press Mozarts Grace
Book SynopsisIt is a common article of faith that Mozart composed the most beautiful music we can know. But few of us ask why. Why does the beautiful in Mozart stand apart, as though untouched by human hands? At the same time, why does it inspire intimacy rather than distant admiration, love rather than awe? And how does Mozart's music create and sustain its buTrade ReviewWinner of the 2014 Otto Kinkeldey Award, American Musicological Society One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2013 "Here is analysis and commentary written with considerable enthusiasm and affection... Mozart's Grace is written with great fervour and yes, grace, together with a deep love of Mozart's music."--Classical Music Magazine "The premise: identify some of the best bits in Mozart's works, then discover why they succeed so well. The idea is so starkly simple that one could expect a puerile result. However, Burnham, an eminent teacher, writer, and Mozartean, produces something rather wonderful... [Mozart's Grace] is a book that does justice to its subject matter."--Choice "This book has only deepened my admiration for its author."--Leo Black, Musical Times "Mozart's Grace is written with great fervor and yes, grace, together with a deep love of Mozart's music. In these tough economic times one is heartened to see the publication of such a book."--John Robert Brown, Classical Music "Burnham offers a stirring, erudite, and deeply poetic treatment of around fifty select passages as a culmination of some three decades of thought and discussion... Through delightfully written prose bursting with musical metaphors that extend to all five senses, Scott Burnham argues persuasively for why we relentlessly submit ourselves to Mozart."--Steven D. Mathews, Notes "[Burnham's] writing, sentence by sentence, is clear as air yet shimmers with revelatory understanding of the effects that Mozart's music makes on the listener, illustrating and supporting his discoveries with penetrating and meticulous explication of details in the musical examples. In doing so he offers some of the most sensitive, nuanced, perceptive, and eloquent commentary about music (of any kind) I've read."--American Record Guide "Rarely does love pour from musicological writing as generously as it does from Scott Burnham's ingenious, congenial paean. At 169 pages of text including generous musical examples throughout, Mozart's Grace teaches us a great deal about Mozart, concision, and well-turned prose."--David Schneider, Music and LettersTable of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Invitation 1 I Beauty and Grace 7 II Thresholds 37 III Grace and Renewal 117 Knowing Innocence 165 Notes 171 Bibliography 183 Index 187

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Famous Father Girl
Book SynopsisThe intimate memoir of Leonard Bernstein and his family, that helped inspire the new movie Maestro“Unique among classical-music memoirs for its physical intimacy, its humor and tenderness, its ambivalence toward an irrepressible family genius. . . . The existence of this well-written book, with its poignancy and its shuddery detail. . . is a mark of [Jamie Bernstein’s] sanity and survival. In telling [her father’s] story, she got to write her own.” —New YorkerThe oldest daughter of revered composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein offers a rare look at her father on the centennial of his birth in a deeply intimate and broadly evocative memoir The composer of On the Town and West Side Story, chief conductor of the New York Philharmonic, television star, humanitarian, friend of the powerful and influential, and the life of every party, Leonard Bernstein was an enormous celebrity during one of the headiest periods of American cultural life, as well as the most protean musician in twentieth century America. But to his eldest daughter, Jamie, he was above all the man in the scratchy brown bathrobe who smelled of cigarettes; the jokester and compulsive teacher who enthused about Beethoven and the Beatles; the insomniac whose 4 a.m. composing breaks involved spooning baby food out of the jar. He taught his daughter to love the world in all its beauty and complexity. In public and private, Lenny was larger than life.In Famous Father Girl, Bernstein mines the emotional depths of her childhood and invites us into her family’s private world. A fantastic set of characters populates the Bernsteins’ lives, including: the Kennedys, Mike Nichols, John Lennon, Richard Avedon, Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, and Betty (Lauren) Bacall.An intoxicating tale, Famous Father Girl is an intimate meditation on a complex and sometimes troubled man, the family he raised, and the music he composed that became the soundtrack to their entwined lives. Deeply moving and often hilarious, Bernstein’s beautifully written memoir is a great American story about one of the greatest Americans of the modern age.

Musically, he has defined the past twenty years of indie rock with his sound, lyrics, lifestyle and aesthetic. Since The Libertines rose to international fame, Doherty has proved endlessly fascinating. A whirlwind of controversy and scandal has tailed him ever since the early 2000s, so much so that all too often his talents as a songwriter and performer have been overlooked; for every award and accolade, there is a scathing review. Hard drugs, tiny gigs on the hoof, huge stadium shows, collaborations, obliterations, gangsters and groupies - Doherty has led a life of huge highs and incredible lows.
