Pos-Tudos (12 etudes for piano solo)
Book of solo piano etudes by Brazilian composer Bruno Ruviaro. The title comes from a Brazilian poem by Augusto de Campos (Pós-tudo). An étude ("study" in French, "estudo" in Portuguese) is typically a short musical composition designed to improve the skills of a performer by isolating and exploring a specific technical and musical challenge. Each of these twelve etudes is made up of transformations of existing music by other composers, from Bach to Tom Jobim, from Chopin to Pixinguinha, from Kagel to Chiquinha Gonzaga. A PDF of this work can be accessed directly from the composers' website. Bruno Ruviaro lives in Oakland, California, and teaches Composition and Electronic Music at Santa Clara University.
The Cambridge Companion to Wagner
Richard Wagner is remembered as one of the most influential figures in music and theatre, but his place in history has been marked by a considerable amount of controversy. His attitudes towards the Jews and the appropriation of his operas by the Nazis, for example, have helped to construct a historical persona that sits uncomfortably with modern sensibilities. Yet Wagner's absolutely central position in the operatic canon continues. This volume serves as a timely reminder of his ongoing musical, cultural, and political impact. Contributions by specialists from such varied fields as musical history, German literature and cultural studies, opera production, and political science consider a range of topics, from trends and problems in the history of stage production to the representations of gender and sexuality. With the inclusion of invaluable and reliably up-to-date biographical data, this collection will be of great interest to scholars, students, and enthusiasts.
Live Coding
The first comprehensive introduction to the origins, aspirations, and evolution of live coding. Performative, improvised, on the fly: live coding is about how people interact with the world and each other via code. In the last few decades, live coding has emerged as a dynamic creative practice gaining attention across cultural and technical fields—from music and the visual arts through to computer science. Live Coding: A User’s Manual is the first comprehensive introduction to the practice, and a broader cultural commentary on the potential for live coding to open up deeper questions about contemporary cultural production and computational culture. This multi-authored book—by artists and musicians, software designers, and researchers—provides a practice-focused account of the origins, aspirations, and evolution of live coding, including expositions from a wide range of live coding practitioners. In a more conceptual register, the authors consider liveness, temporality, and knowledge in relation to live coding, alongside speculating on the practice’s future forms.
