""Les méthodes d'investigation de la musicologie traversent une mutation profonde depuis que des sources audio et audiovisuelles sont à sa disposition et qu'elles lui permettent de documenter es musiques de tradition orale d'ici et d'ailleurs, d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, ainsi que l'évolution des pratiques d'exécution des œuvres fixées par écrit sur une partition. Ce faisant, c'est l'histoire de la réception socioculturelle de la musique qui s'en trouve enrichie, en révélant l'évolution des usages et des goûts au fil de près de cent cinquante ans d'enregistrements. Et nul doute que la révolution numérique va accélérer ce mouvement de manière exponentielle via les millions de documents pris dans la toile d'internet..." Philippe Dinkel. Cet ouvrage a été réalisé sous la direction de Nancy Rieben et réunit plusieurs contributions ayant fait l'objet de communications orales lors d'une journée d'étude à l'Unité de musicologie de l'Université de Genève. Toutes interrogent les sources - et les questions méthodologiques qu'elles soulèvent -, à la disposition du chercheur qui souhaite analyser un choix interprétatif."--Page 4 of cover.

Few musical genres inspire the passionate devotion of jazz. Its mystique goes far beyond the melodies and rhythms, with its key players and singers discussed by aficionados with a respect that borders on reverence. Some books on jazz offer little more than theory or dry facts, thereby relinquishing the 'essence' of the music. This book is different. One of the most influential and internationally known writers on the subject describes, through vivid personal contacts, reminiscences and zesty anecdotes, his life in jazz as a player, broadcaster and observer. Alyn Shipton recalls friendships with legendary musicians, while revealing fresh discoveries about such luminaries as Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Abbey Lincoln and Geri Allen. On Jazz powerfully evokes the atmosphere of clubs and dancehalls, and takes us behind the scenes and up onto the stage, so that this electrifying world is unforgettably spotlighted as never before.

"By the early twentieth century the machine aesthetic was a well-established and dominant interest that fundamentally transformed musical performance and listening practices. While numerous scholars have examined this aesthetic in art and literature, musical compositions representing industrialized labor practices and the role of the machine in music remain largely unexplored. Moreover, in recounting the history of machines in musical recording and reproduction, scholars often tend to emphasize the phonograph, rather than player piano, despite the latter's prominence within the newly-established musical marketplace. Machines and their music influenced multiple areas of early twentieth-century musical culture, from film scores to popular music and even the concert hall. But the opposite was also true: industrialized labor practices changed the musical marketplace and musical culture as a whole. As consumers accepted mechanical replacements for what previously required an active human laborer, ghostly, mechanical performers labored tirelessly in parlors, businesses, and even concert halls. Although the player piano failed to maintain a stronghold in the recorded music marketplace after 1930, the widespread acceptance of recording technologies as media for storing and enjoying music indicates a much more fundamental societal shift. This book explores that shift, examining the rise and fall of the player piano in early twentieth-century society and connecting it to the digital technologies of today"--

Der Schweizer Komponist Hermann Meier (1906-2002) fand abseits der Zentren der Avantgarde zu einem eigenen seriellen Verfahren, zur Komposition mit Klangflächen und zu elektronischen Visionen. Seine Orientierung an der Kunst Piet Mondrians und Paul Klees und die operative Bildlichkeit seiner Skizzen werden erstmals eingehend untersucht.

This book takes as its historical point of departure the radical appearance in 1779 of technically difficult keyboard music in a set of six sonatas (Op. 2) by Muzio Clementi. The difficult passages contained in this opus are unique amongst keyboard music published for a market that was understood at the time to consist almost entirely of female amateur keyboardists. Previously actively discouraged from practicing or improving their skills due to the restrictive ideologies in place, Clementi's music increasingly affords female pianists a new kind of musical expression. Clementi and the woman at the piano: Virtuosity and the market for music in eighteenth-century London maps the social, musical, and gendered implications of technically difficult music and helps to underline important changes in Enlightenment culture and keyboard practice. Clementi's activities initiated the now familiar and modern concepts of repetitive musical practice, the work-concept, virtuosity itself, and the division between amateur and professional. Additionally, Clementi promotes a radical new mode of expression for female pianists that is at first highly controversial but slowly gains acceptance due to a widespread promotion of his music, instruments, and methods. Clementi's career is in many respects a perfect case study for the tensions between Enlightenment thinking and new Romantic ideologies.
