Discovering Laura Coen Luzzatto means getting to the core of the musical history of the Italian 20th century, the backstage of the complex dodecaphonic crossing made by Luigi Dallapiccola; it means shedding light on the woman who illuminated the composer's path amidst the dramas of the century. Laura met Luigi in Florence in 1931, and devoted herself to him and his art since then. They married in 1938, and she became Laura Dallapiccola. She was an atheist, born in Trieste in a Jewish family, whereas he was Istrian-born and a doubtful Catholic. They both arrived in Florence following Dante's myth, and immediately connected thanks to Laura's degree dissertation (which is deservingly brought to light in this volume by the University of Florence, where she discussed it in 1932) and to their shared belief that both their birthplaces, despite being borderlands, were of Italian nationality. From that moment onwards, thanks to her, the composer's story opened to European culture, to Joyce, Proust, Mann and, again thanks to her, the Dallapiccola dodecaphony becomes rooted in the vocal style of the Italian culture, thus differentiating itself from the Viennese dodecaphony. Laura, then, to better discover Luigi Dallapiccola and to look at the 20th century with new eyes.

Gottfried Heinrich Stölzels (1690-1749) "Lehr- und Wanderjahre" führten vom Gymnasium in Gera ab 1707 zum Studium nach Leipzig. Schon in jungen Jahren war er europaweit bekannt und pflegte Kontakt zu berühmten Musikern wie Antonio Vivaldi. Zwischen 1719 und 1749 war Stölzel in Gotha sesshaft und als Kapellmeister tätig. Für manche Zeitgenossen überragte der Ruf seines Werks den des Leipziger Kollegen Johann Sebastian Bach.0Während in heutiger Zeit Stölzels Bedeutung als Komponist zunehmend wieder ins Blickfeld rückt, ist bislang kaum beachtet worden, dass er zu seiner Zeit eine wichtige Rolle als Musiktheoretiker spielte. Hier setzt die vorliegende Arbeit an: Erstmals wird Stölzels "Anleitung zur musikalischen Setzkunst," die nur in einer einzigen Abschrift aus der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts überliefert ist, in einer annotierten Edition zugänglich gemacht und einer ausführlichen Untersuchung unterzogen. Gefragt wird, in welchem Kontext Stölzels Schrift entstand und welche Impulse seine theoretischen Arbeiten für die Weiterentwicklung der Musiktheorie im deutschsprachigen Raum leisteten: Es ist Stölzel, der mit der "Autonomisierung" des verminderten und übermässigen Dreiklangs die Tür zu jenem Verständnis einer skalenbasierten Dreiklangsordnung aufstösst, aus der die moderne Stufentheorie hervorgeht. Eine Lektüre von Stölzels "Anleitung" führt uns somit auch zu den Ursprüngen der modernen Harmonielehre, die uns in der alltäglichen Praxis so selbstverständlich vertraut ist.

This collection of essays provides the first in-depth examination of camp as it relates to a wide variety of twentieth and twenty-first century music and musical performances. Located at the convergence of popular and queer musicology, the book provides new research into camp's presence, techniques, discourses, and potential meanings across a broad spectrum of musical genres, including: musical theatre, classical music, film music, opera, instrumental music, the Broadway musical, rock, pop, hip-hop, and Christmas carols. This significant contribution to the field of camp studies investigates why and how music has served as an expressive and political vehicle for both the aesthetic characteristics and the receptive modes that have been associated with camp throughout twentieth and twenty-first-century culture.
