Abstract

Claude Debussy was the father of the Modern era in classical music. His innovations liberated Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Bartâok to write their iconoclastic works, and is harmonic inventions are still heard in American jazz. Though he was among the most compelling figures of the Belle âEpoque, his life is little known to all but scholars; and of his considerable musical output, only Prelude to "The Afternoon of a Faun," La Mer, and "Clair de lune" are widely known. In [this book], Harvey Lee Snyder addresses this cultural neglect by presenting the composer and his music, without jargon or biographical trivia, in a richly detailed, accurate narrative that reads almost like a novel. Here is the story of a poor, unschooled Parisian boy swept by odd coincidences to the Paris Conservatory at age ten. Here is a brilliant man determined to end the long-standing Germanic domination of European music, struggling to invent a tonal language capable of expressing his unique musical vision, and finding inspiration not in Bach and Beethoven but in Mallarmâe's poetry and the paintings of Whistler and Turner. Here is a reclusive, gentle man whose misguided love affairs ended in scandal and scorn. His hard work failed to end decades of poverty and debt, but when he died in 1918, he was--and has remained--the foremost French composer of the twentieth century and one of music history's greatest pioneers. -- Inside jacket flap.

Abstract

Looks at accountability initiatives around the world. This title provides a comparative analysis of the promises, perils and paradoxes of accountability, and the potential effect on power structures and higher education autonomy, trust and the legitimacy of the sector. The latest volume in the Routledge International Studies in Higher Education series, Accountability in Higher Education takes an in-depth look at accountability initiatives around the world. Various evaluations, reporting schemes, and indicator systems have been initiated both to inform the public about higher education performance and to help transform universities and colleges and improve their functioning. This edited collection provides a comparative analysis of the promises, perils and paradoxes of accountability, and the potential effect on power structures and higher education autonomy, trust and the legitimacy of the sector.Part I describes how accountability is perceived and understood in different regions of the world, identifies some of the most common elements in established accountability initiatives, especially related to quality assurance, and provides direction for possible future development. Part II focuses on responses to new demands for accountability at institutional, national and international levels, and provides practical guidance for handling accountability going forward, emphasizing the dynamic relationship between international development, government strategies and organizational change.This volume is a must-have resource for HE managers, administrators, policy makers, researchers, HE graduate students and those interested or involved with HE accountability practices.
