Abstract

The island is a powerful metaphor in everyday speech which extends almost naturally into several academic disciplines, including musicology. Islands are imagined as isolated and unique places where strange, exotic, different and unexpected treasures can be found by daring adventurers. The magic inherent within this positioning of islands as places of discovery is an aspect which permeates the theoretical, methodological and analytical boundaries of this edited book. Showcasing the breadth of ...

Abstract

Avec l'industrialisation et le développement des transports au cours du XIXe siècle, les échanges artistiques s'organisent et l''Occident accueille le reste du monde grâce, notamment, aux Expositions universelles. On peut aussi penser que la mondialisation musicale est née bien avant les techniques modernes de communication. Les auteurs en explorent ici d'autres formes : la circulation des oeuvres, la diffusion numérique et lla protection du droit d'auteur ; l'avant-garde devenue simple slogan, Ligeti libre et Philip Glass en indépendant ; la notion d'école, les particularismes nationaux, les identités culturelles et l'orchestre symbole de paix. Ce livre tente d'aller au-delà des clichés exprimés par les partisans et les adversaires de la mondialisation musicale. Il n'en ignore pas pour autant les complexités et les paradoxes

Abstract

The publisher Novello was hugely influential in making music affordable for a wider section of the Victorian public. A Short History of Cheap Music, published in 1887, focuses on Novello's role. It begins with the establishment of the house in 1811, when the founder, Vincent Novello, printed his first book at his own personal expense. Soon afterwards the house made available cheap editions of major musical compositions including Mozart's and Haydn's masses, Purcell's sacred music, and various Italian and English works. It also printed a variety of publications and journals dedicated to music, advocated the reduction of taxes on music, and organised events for the advancement of the musical arts. The author shows how by finding cheaper methods for printing music, organising cheap concerts, and establishing new choral societies, the house of Novello gradually created a taste for music among new audiences, a process paralleled today in the new media.

Abstract

The Danger of Music gathers some two decades of Richard Taruskin's writing on the arts and politics, ranging in approach from occasional pieces for major newspapers such as the New York Times to full-scale critical essays for leading intellectual journals. Hard-hitting, provocative, and incisive, these essays consider contemporary composition and performance, the role of critics and historians in the life of the arts, and the fraught terrain where ethics and aesthetics interact and at times conflict. Many of the works collected here have themselves excited wide debate, including the title essay, which considers the rights and obligations of artists in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In a series of lively postscripts written especially for this volume, Taruskin, America's "public" musicologist, addresses the debates he has stirred up by insisting that art is not a utopian escape and that artists inhabit the same world as the rest of society. Among the book's forty-two essays are two public addresses-one about the prospects for classical music at the end of the second millennium C. E., the other a revisiting of the performance issues previously discussed in the author's Text and Act (1995)-that appear in print for the first time.
