Regarding Romantic Rome
This volume brings together a collection of essays that explore the cultural history and representation of Rome from the late eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century. The essays address diverse aspects of Rome as a subject and site of Romantic experience and commentary, investigating the legacy of the Grand Tour, and the changing face of Rome in the early nineteenth century. The contributions range across various media, genres, and topics - the Roman art market, paintings of contemporary Romans and their interpretation, music in and 'of' Rome, the evolution of nineteenth-century guidebooks, novels which take Rome as their narrative mise-en-scène, the idea of Rome as a setting for creative activity, ruins as polysemic metaphor, women and the reception of antiquity, the aesthetics of urban hygiene, and the mythology of that renowned quarter of Rome, Trastevere. In different ways, all of the contributions to this volume contribute to our understanding of the relationship between Rome's changing identity and the evolving forms of literary and artistic representation employed to record, evoke, commemorate, or make sense of the city, its people, and landscape.

Webern_21
Die Vielfalt der aktuellen Perspektiven auf das Werk Anton Weberns und seine nachhaltige Wirkung aufzuzeigen, ist das vorrangige Ziel des Sammelbandes. Er skizziert einen panoramaartigen Uberblick uber die gegenwartige Webern-Forschung und dokumentiert so deren Standpunkte. Studien zu einzelnen Kompositionen, zu den Bezugnahmen Weberns auf altere Musik sowie zu Theorie und Methoden der Webern-Analyse stehen Aufsatzen zu Webern als Leser und Verfasser von literarischen Texten sowie der kompositorischen und theoretischen Webern-Rezeption gegenuber. Der Band enthalt eine umfangreiche Bibliographie und die deutsche Erstveroffentlichung von Weberns Schauspiel "Tot".
Vertigo
Of all the ground-breaking art movements of the 1950s and 60s, Op Art has received the least amount of attention to date. It has often been discounted as too spectacular and showy and therefore not very profound. This is a misconception - this art sharpens our awareness of the ambiguity of appearances and illustrates the impossibility of grasping 'reality'.Vertigo. Op Art and a History of Deception 1520-1970 presents a deceptive game of the senses, unfurling a whole panorama of artistic works that confound the senses, ranging from panel paintings, reliefs and (kinetic) objects to installations and experiential spaces, to film and computer-generated or computer-controlled art.
Aspects of Early English Keyboard Music before c.1630
English keyboard music reached an unsurpassed level of sophistication in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries as organists such as William Byrd and his students took a genre associated with domestic, amateur performance and treated it as seriously as vocal music. This book draws together important research on the music, its sources and the instruments on which it was played. There are two chapters on instruments: John Koster on the use of harpsichord during the period, and Dominic Gwynn on the construction of Tudor-style organs based on the surviving evidence we have for them. This leads to a section devoted to organ performance practice in a liturgical context, in which John H...
Henri Bergson
Der französische Philosoph und Nobelpreisträger Henri Bergson (1859-1941) war einer der Begründer der Lebensphilosophie. Im Zeichen eines neuen Vitalismus und Materialismus wird er gerade wiederentdeckt. Vladimir Jankélévitchs Henri Bergson ist eines der ganz großen philosophischen Bücher, die über Bergson geschrieben wurden. Jankélévitch nimmt darin alle Aspekte von dessen Denken in den Blick, wobei Zeit und Dauer, Körper und Geist, Freiheit, Evolution, Einfachheit sowie Liebe und Freude im Mittelpunkt stehen. Es sind die Grundbegriffe einer bahnbrechenden Philosophie des Lebens. Jankélévitch, der Schüler und Freund Bergsons war, veröffentlichte sein Buch zuerst 1931. Knapp dreißig Jahre später unterzog er es einer gründlichen Überarbeitung, um auch Bergsons späten Werken gerecht zu werden. Die nun erstmals in deutscher Sprache vorliegende Übersetzung dieses Klassikers folgt der Ausgabe von 1959, ergänzt um die Einleitung von 1931 sowie um einige Briefe Bergsons an den Autor. Jankélévitch liest Bergson – eine philosophische Entdeckung!
Worte ohne Lieder
"Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im falschen." – "Philosophie ist das Allerernsteste, aber so ernst wieder auch nicht." – "Aufgabe von Kunst heute ist es, Chaos in die Ordnung zu bringen." Solche pointierten Formulierungen haben Theodor W. Adorno in weiten Kreisen bekannt gemacht, und oft werden sie in falscher Vereindeutigung für die komplexe gedankliche Bewegung seiner Texte substituiert. Nichtsdestoweniger leben Adornos Texte von der Spannung, die von seiner mitunter hermetischen, oft aber unvermutet anschaulichen und von polemischem Witz immer wieder durchbrochenen Sprache ausgeht. Das wird auch und gerade in jenem Bereich seines Schreibens deutlich, der auf alle anderen ausgestrahlt h...
For Gerhard Kubik
This volume in honour of Gerhard Kubik comprises a broad range of contributions from among his worldwide circle of friends and admirers. Its contents have been loosely assorted into four sections, reflecting different facets of Kubik's widely varied interests: African Music Studies, Extensions of African Cultures in the Americas, Towards Intercultural Understanding, and Miscellaneous. Gerhard Kubik, born in 1934 in Vienna, has done - and is still doing - extensive field work in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South America for 35 years. The impressive results of his research have highly influenced the panorama of African musicology and cultural anthropology.
Studies on Authorship in Historical Keyboard Music
Authorship is a pertinent issue for historical musicology and musicians more widely, and some controversies concerned with major figures have even reached wider consciousness. Scholars have clarified some of the issues at stake in recent decades, such as the places of borrowing and arranging in the creative process and the wider cultural significance of these practices. The discovery of new sources and methodologies has also opened up opportunities for reassessing specific authorship problems. Drawing upon this wider musicological literature as well as insights from other disciplines, such as intellectual history and book history, this book aims to build on what has already been achieved by focussing on keyboard music. The nine chapters cover case studies of authorship problems, the socioeconomic conditions of music publishing, the contributions of composers, arrangers, copyists and music publishers in creating notated keyboard compositions, the functions of attribution and ascription, and how the contexts in which notated pieces were used affected concepts of authorship at different times and places.
