Abstract

Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996) was the best-known Japanese composer of his generation, bringing aspects of Eastern and Western traditions together, yet he remained something of an elusive figure. The composer's own commentaries about his music, poetic and philosophical in tone, have tended to deepen the mystery and much writing on Takemitsu to date has adopted a similar attitude, leaving many questions about his compositional methods unanswered. This book is the first complete study of the composer's work to appear in English. It is also the first book in this language to offer an in-depth analysis of his music. Takemitsu's works are increasingly popular with Western audiences and Peter Burt attempts for the first time to shed light on the hitherto rather secretive world of his working methods, as well as place him in context as heir to the rich tradition of Japanese composition in the twentieth century.

Abstract

"Au-delà des chapelles, des clans, des écoles et du cercle toujours étroit des musiciens contemporains, la musique de György Ligeti (1923-2006) a su trouver une large audience. Les textures inouïes, sidérales, des grandes oeuvres pour orchestre Apparitions (1958-1959), Atmosphères (1961), Lontano (1967), Melodien (1971), le sens dramatique profond révélé dans une multitude de prismes allant de la dérision ostentatoire (Aventures, 1962) jusqu'à la plus pure suggestion intérieure (Études pour piano, 1985-2001) en passant par la geste opératique tragique (Requiem, 1963-1965) ou bouffonne (Le Grand Macabre, 1974-1977) prisme fondé sur une poétique des rythmes qui en avive la perception en profondeur ( Continuum, 1968 ; Clocks and Clouds, 1972-1973 ; Concerto pour piano, 1980-1988), ainsi qu'un rapport unique aux timbres, à leur plasticité, à leur sensualité (Concerto de chambre, 1969-1970 ; Concerto pour violon, 1989-1993 ; Sippal, Dobbal, Nàdihegeduvel, 2000) lui ont permis de capter un vaste public grâce d'autant plus puissante que rare. Avec une empathie de compositeur, Karol Beffa met ici en perspective les périodes créatrices de György Ligeti, de ses débuts, dominés par l'admiration de Bartók, confrontés aux tragédies du XXe siècle, à l'accomplissement atteint en Europe de l'Ouest. Les différents foyers dans lesquels il put s'épanouir (Cologne et son Studio de musique électronique, l'avant-gardiste Darmstadt, la dadaïste Dùsseldorf, Hambourg où il enseigna la composition) sont évoqués ici comme les jalons façonnant une personnalité radicalement indépendante, dont les modèles pour la création étaient aussi bien littéraires et picturaux que musicaux."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Abstract

Wolf has been regarded as a composer who followed the style and aesthetics of Wagnerian music drama without question, while writing in a genre often seen as less challenging than the symphony or opera. This 1999 book re-examines the evidence concerning Wolf's responses to Wagner and Wagnerism and suggests ways in which he voiced his criticism through song, and his one completed opera Der Corregidor. This opens up insights into the kind of impact Wagner had on those following in his wake, and into the complexity and subtlety of the late nineteenth-century Lied. From this perspective, Wolf emerges as a persuasive and articulate figure of wide musical and artistic significance.

Abstract

This volume shows Charles Ives in the context of his world in a number of revealing ways. Five new essays examine Ives's relationships to European music and to American music, politics, business, and landscape. J. Peter Burkholder shows Ives as a composer well versed in four distinctive musical traditions who blended them in his mature music. Leon Botstein explores the paradox of how, in the works of Ives and Mahler, musical modernism emerges from profoundly antimodern sensibilities. David Michael Hertz reveals unsuspected parallels between one of Ives's most famous pieces, the Concord Piano Sonata, and the piano sonatas of Liszt and Scriabin. Michael Broyles sheds new light on Ives's political orientation and on his career in the insurance business, and Mark Tucker shows the importance for Ives of his vacations in the Adirondacks and the representation of that landscape in his music. The remainder of the book presents documents that illuminate Ives's personal life. A selection of some sixty letters to and from Ives and his family, edited and annotated by Tom C. Owens, is the first substantial collection of Ives correspondence to be published. Two sections of reviews and longer profiles published during his lifetime highlight the important stages in the reception of Ives's music, from his early works through the premieres of his most important compositions to his elevation as an almost mythic figure with a reputation among some critics as America's greatest composer.
