Abstract

For virtually all of our lives, we are surrounded by music. From lullabies to radio to the praises sung in houses of worship, we encounter music at home and in the street, during work and in our leisure time, and not infrequently at birth and death. But what is music, and what does it mean to humans? How do we process it, and how do we create it? Musician Leo Samama discusses these and many other questions while shaping a vibrant picture of music's importance in human lives both past and present. What is remarkable is that music is recognised almost universally as a type of language that we can use to wordlessly communicate. We can hardly shut ourselves off from music, and considering its primal role in our lives, it comes as no surprise that few would ever want to. Able to transverse borders and appeal to the most disparate of individuals, music is both a tool and a gift, and as Samama shows, a unifying thread running throughout the cultural history of mankind.

Abstract

Sinds het einde van de zeventiende eeuw is het soloconcert een van de meest geliefde genres in de concertzaal. In Het soloconcert behandelt Leo Samama de ontwikkeling van dit genre en laat daarbij de belangrijkste concerten tot in onze tijd de revue passeren. Van Corelli tot Cage en van Bach tot Boulez. Natuurlijk komen ook de meesterwerken van Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Rachmaninov, Gershwin en vele andere lievelingen van het concertpubliek aan bod. De meeste werken worden kort besproken en voorzien van achtergrondinformatie en opvallende kenmerken. Samama verschaft een gedetailleerde ontwikkelingsgeschiedenis van het genre, met aandacht voor de uiteenlopende verschijningsvormen van het concert sinds het ontstaan ervan in de tweede helft van de zeventiende eeuw. Het boek is bovendien voorzien van tal van voorbeelden en illustraties. Voor alle liefhebbers van het soloconcert.
