Studi Sulla Struttura Musicale

Band 3: Die Vokalmusik in der Zeit Mozarts

Includes full-length audio CD-Over the course of some three dozen volumes Amadeus Press highly acclaimed Unlocking the Masters series has drawn readers into the worlds of the greatest composers and their music. Curated pairings of critically minded introductory texts andcompanion CDs loaded with tracks selected from the worlds foremost libraries of recorded classics the series truly brings the sounds and stories of its legendary subjects to life. Its latest entry Victor Lederers Schumann: A Listeners Guide isan essential portal to the musical works of and tempestuous life of this little-understood genius. Many if not most major composers improve over the course of their careers. For Schumann however the opposite was true: plagued throughout his lifeby physical and mental illnesses he helplessly – and consciously – endured the gradual diminution of his prodigious talent until his premature death at age 46. Throughout Schumann: A Listeners Guide Lederer provides unflinching critiques of theweaknesses that plagued Schumanns style contrasting them with the brilliance of his earliest triumphs. This eminently accessible account explores the full spectrum of the master composers oeuvre from his popular early music and lieder to hisworks for chamber ensembles composed in 1842 to his four beloved if flawed symphonies. It also accounts for Schumanns dramatic works particularly Genoveva his only opera and Incidental Music to Byrons “Manfred ” a bewilderingly unappreciatedmusical score. As with all volumes in the UTM series Schumann: A Listeners Guide is accompanied by a CD containing two of the masters most daring imaginative flights both explored in detail in the text: the Davidsbündlertänze for piano andDichterliebe (A Poets Love) one of the all-time greatest song cycles and works for voice. Geared toward fledglings but written with an eye turned to aficionados the book is a must-have for Schumann buffs and classical music fans young and old.

Inside's Pink Floyd's Musical Milestone-The mid-'70s were a time of reckoning. It was also an era of paradoxes of record making and record breaking of sold-out shows and in the minds of some sell-out artists. Critics who once exalted the shamanic characteristics of rock stars launched full-frontal assaults on mainstream music icons and their tendencies toward overindulgent artistic visions. Amid this confusion psychedelic and progressive rock pioneers Pink Floyd unlikely messengers in uncertain times unleashed their 1975 progressive rock milestone Wish You Were Here. Refusing to buckle under pressure Floyd looked inward to produce Wish You Were Here a conceptual self-referential album that spoke ofspiritual depravation mental absence and industry corruption while perhaps inadvertently reflecting the general madness and societal malaise of the mid-'70s. Created in the spirit of camaraderie Wish You Were Here waged war against the system better known in Floydlandia as The Machine while paying tribute to a fallen hero and victim of the industry - the creative force fundamental to the band's existence Syd Barrett. As our world was racked by unsustainable overseas military conflicts governmental scandals political assassination attempts and a near-total erosion of the public trust Pink Floyd emerged victorious responding to this external dissonance with their ultimate band statement. What a strange complex moment in time to have generated a classic. After 1975 Pink Floyd would never be the same - and neither would we.
