Musical Form, Forms & Formenlehre
The tone of the debates among Caplin, Hepokoski, and Webster (in the form of comments on each author''s essay and then responses to the comments), though tactful, is obliquely blunt and tendentious; like the best of tennis pros, each author strives to serve an ace and defends the net against a passing shot (with Caplin, the ace is for formal function; with Hepokoski for Sonata Theory and dialogic form; with Webster for multivalent analysis). But we can trust that this provocative exchange will thoroughly invigorate discussions about classical form and encourage diverse approaches to its analys.
Beethoven's Tempest Sonata (First Movement)
This book contains five graphic analyses of the opening movement of Beethoven's sonata Op. 31/2. The analyses are based on essays published in Beethoven's Tempest Sonata: Perspectives on Analysis and Performance, edited by Pieter Berge, William E. Caplin, and Jeroen D'hoe (Leuven, 2009). While the earlier collection was conceived for an academic readership, the present volume, by contrast, is intended primarily for practical musicians. The musical score itself accordingly serves as the point of departure, with analytical remarks introduced at the moment at which the relevant music appears. In so doing, this book aims to offer performers analytical insights within the familiar context of sitt...
Beethoven's Tempest Sonata
For music analysts and performers alike, Beethoven's Tempest sonata (1802) represents one of the most challenging pieces of the classical and early romantic piano repertoire. This book is a collection of eleven essays, each dealing with this sonata from a different analytical perspective and investigating the possible connections between music analysis and the practice of performance. Under the editorship of Pieter Berge, Jeroen D'hoe and William E. Caplin, the book presents essays by Scott Burnham (hermeneutics), Poundie Burstein (Schenkerian approach), Kenneth Hamilton (history of performance), Robert Hatten (semiotics), James Hepokoski (Sonata Theory), William Kinderman (source studies), William Rothstein (tempo, rhythm, and meter), Douglas Seaton (narratology), Steven Vande Moortele (20th-century Formenlehre) and the editors themselves (motivic analysis and form-functional approach respectively).
What Is a Cadence?
The variety and complexity of cadenceThe concept of closure is crucial to understanding music from the “classical” style. This volume focuses on the primary means of achieving closure in tonal music: the cadence. Written by leading North American and European scholars, the nine essays assembled in this volume seek to account for the great variety and complexity inherent in the cadence by approaching it from different (sub)disciplinary angles, including music-analytical, theoretical, historical, psychological (experimental), as well as linguistic. Each of these essays challenges, in one way or another, our common notion of cadence. Controversial viewpoints between the essays are highlight...
Kurt Weill
Een politiek-satirische opera over kapitalisme Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny is een van de weerspannigste opera’s van de 20ste eeuw. Het stuk haalt snoeihard uit naar de uitwassen van het kapitalisme, op een manier die ook vandaag nog pijn doet. Maar niet alleen de maatschappij wordt in dit parabelachtige stuk in vraag gesteld, ook de opera zelf. Hoe verdedigbaar was die kunstvorm eigenlijk nog in het tumult van de wilde jaren twintig, waarin Duitsland zo wanhopig probeerde een democratie op poten te zetten? Wat is de plaats van kunst in zo’n beladen en problematisch politiek experiment: genot verschaffen of toch eerder een geweten schoppen? En wat betekent dit uiteindelijk voor onze hedendaagse omgang met het genre? Opera, anti-opera, of beide – dat is de kwestie! In samenwerking met Opera Ballet Vlaanderen
