Grieg
Edvard Grieg (1843 - 1907) war ein norwegischer Komponist und Pianist. Detailliert zeichnet Richard H. Stein das Lebens des großen Künstlers nach. Hierzu geht Stein zurück bis zu den Vorfahren Griegs, bevor er Jugend und Werdegang Griegs beschreibt. Neben der persönlichen Entwicklungsgeschichte Griegs legt Stein in einem zweiten Teil zudem einen besonderen Fokus auf das musikalische Schaffen des berühmten Komponisten, wodurch ihm mit seiner Biographie ein äußerst vielschichtiger Blick auf Edvard Grieg gelingt.
In Search of Julián Carrillo and Sonido 13
In the 1920s, Mexican composer Julián Carrillo (1875-1965) developed a microtonal system he metaphorically called El Sonido 13 (The 13th Sound). Although his pioneering role as one of the first proponents of microtonality gave him a cult figure status among European avant-garde circles in the 1960s and 1970s, his music and legacy have remained largely ignored by scholars and critics. This book explores his ideas not only in relation to the historical moments of their inception but also in relation to the various cultural projects that kept them alive and resignified them into the 21st century.
Funeral Games in Honor of Arthur Vincent Lourié
Funeral Games in Honor of Arthur Vincent Lourié explores the varied aesthetic impulses and ever-evolving personal motivations of Russian composer Arthur Lourié. A St. Petersburg native allied with the Futurist movement and profoundly sympathetic to Silver Age decadence, Lourié was swept away by the Revolution; he surfaced as a Communist commissar of music before landing in Europe and America, where his career foundered. Making his way by serving others, he became Stravinsky's right-hand man, Serge Koussevitsky's ghostwriter, and philosopher Jacques Maritain's muse. Lourié left his mark on the poems of Anna Akhmatova, on the neoclassical aesthetics of Stravinsky, on Eurasianism, and on Ma...

Volume 1
What is an image? How can we describe the experience of looking at images, and how do they become meaningful to us? In what sense are images like or unlike propositions? Participants of the 33rd International Wittgenstein Symposium--philosophers as well as historians of art, science, and literature--provide many stimulating answers. Some of the contributions are dedicated to Wittgenstein’s thoughts on images while others testify to the important role notions coined or inspired by Wittgenstein--“seeing as”, “picture games” and the dichotomy of “saying and showing”--play in the field of picture theory today. This first volume of the Proceedings of the 2010 conference addresses readers interested in the history and theory of images, and in the philosophy of Wittgenstein.
