Brahms Among Friends
Brahms Among Friends identifies patterns of listening, performance, and composition among close friends of Johannes Brahms and explores how those patterns informed the creation and reception of his music in the intimate genres of song, sonata, trio, and piano miniature. Among the tangled threads of counterpoint and circumstance that bound Brahms to his acquaintances was the technique of allusive musical borrowing, whereby a brief passage from a familiar work was drawn into the fabric of a new composition. For the specific listeners whose habits of mind and musicianship he knew best, allusive borrowings could become rhetorically charged gestures, persuasively revising the meanings his music c...
Aiming High
Erna Low, born in Vienna in 1909, was instrumental in starting what has become a multimillion pound industry: the ski holiday business. In 1932, she placed an advert in the Morning Post saying “Austria, fortnight, £15 only, including rail and hotel, arranged by young Viennese Graduette for young people leaving Christmas”. For her, it was a way to get back home to see her family over Christmas, but the popularity of the trip soon saw it develop into a lucrative business.Erna, an Austrian javelin champion and handball player, soon branched out into parties for the young elite at country houses around Britain, becoming something of a matchmaker for the 20- and 30-somethings who flocked to ...
Quantum Angels and Other Spacetime Anomalies
The poetic selections in this volume reflect the author's thoughts on a variety of angels, including beings -- so-called real as well as so-called imaginary -- the author has personally encountered during his lifetime; others ponder the author's experiences, real and imaginary, concerning the concept of angels. Some of the angel verses in this selection are based on astrological/planetary attributions and, consequently, reflect Greek, Roman, Qabalistic and Christian mythologies. Others are purely speculative and issue from the author's imagination. Most of the verses in this poetic selection consider the author's imaginative views of various philosophies, psychologies, cosmologies and quantum physics. Eleven of the eighty four verses in this selection also appear in the author's previous work, TAROT: Poetic Revelations and Other Verses.
Being Musically Attuned
Listening according to mood is likely to be what most people do when they listen to music. We want to take part in, or even be part of, the emerging world of the musical work. Using the sources of musical history and philosophy, Erik Wallrup explores this extremely vague and elusive phenomenon, which is held to be fundamental to musical hearing. Wallrup unfolds the untold musical history of the German word for ’mood’, Stimmung, which in the 19th century was abundant in the musical aesthetics of the German-Austrian sphere. Martin Heidegger’s much-discussed philosophy of Stimmung is introduced into the field of music, allowing Wallrup to realise fully the potential of the concept. Mood in music, or, to be more precise, musical attunement, should not be seen as a peculiar kind of emotionality, but that which constitutes fundamentally the relationship between listener and music. Exploring mood, or attunement, is indispensable for a thorough understanding of the act of listening to music.
Tarot
The verses of Poetic Revelations, each titled after one of the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, combine esoteric Tarot principles related to the twenty two major arcana or trump cards of the Tarot and Qabalistic ageless wisdom. A blend of ancient Western mysticism and Eastern religious thought with contemporary psychology, including embedded techniques for personal spiritual growth and development, fashions this information into the condensed form of free verse. The black and white images of the twenty two major arcana cards provided beseech the reader to participate in the journey by coloring his or her own Tarot trump. The notes of Poetic Revelations provide the reader with a var...
