Download and read online ebook The Companion to The Mechanical Muse: The Piano, Pianism and Piano Music, c.1760–1850 write by Derek Carew. This book was released on 2016-03-23. The Companion to The Mechanical Muse: The Piano, Pianism and Piano Music, c.1760–1850 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Intended as a supplement to The Mechanical Muse: The Piano, Pianism and Piano Music, c.1760-1850, this Companion provides additional information which, largely for reasons of space but also of continuity, it was not possible or desirable to include in that volume. The book is laid out alphabetically and full biographical entries are provided for all musical figures mentioned, including composers, performers, theoreticians and teachers, as well as piano makers and publishers of music, within the period covered by The Mechanical Muse. There are also entries on figures of importance from outside the period but whose influence is palpably important within it, such as J.S. Bach. As well as biographical information, all these entries contain lists of principal works and a section on further reading so that readers can follow up people and matters of particular interest. Also included in The Companion are entries devoted to particular works and other information of relevance, such as descriptions of musical forms, characteristics of dances and so on, as well as some technical information on music and explanations of technical terms pertaining to keyboard instruments themselves and to ways of playing them. This Companion is not intended to replace existing reference books such as Grove or Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, but will be useful for those who desire to know more about a particular topic and do not necessarily have access to more specialist reference works, or time to visit large or specialist libraries. As such it is indispensable to users of The Mechanical Muse.

Liszt's dark paraphrase on the Gregorian chant "Dies irae" for piano and orchestra was planned as early as 1838 but actually composed between 1847 and 1853, with a revision in 1864. The work was given its premiere in this revised version in the Hague, with Liszt's student Hans von Bulow as soloist. The score reproduced here was originally issued in 1914 by Breitkopf & Hartel of Leipzig as part of the 13th volume of "Franz Liszt: Musikalische Werke," edited principally by Bernhard Stavenhagen. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library."

Download and read online ebook Revolution and Religion in the Music of Liszt write by Paul Merrick. This book was released on 1987-02-05. Revolution and Religion in the Music of Liszt available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This study of a hitherto neglected aspect of Liszt and his music aims to restore a balanced view of both man and artist. In contrast to the familiar portrayal of the virtuoso pianist, Liszt is considered here as a serious man of ideas: in tracing the composer's relationships and attitudes to the twin themes of revolution and religion, Paul Merrick finds much of Liszt's music, both secular and sacred, to be inspired by the same deeply felt religious conviction that also governed his private life from an early age. The first part of the book is primarily biographical and considers Liszt's reactions to the revolutions of 1830 and 1848, his relationship with the Abbe Lamennais, the Comtesse d' Agoult, Princess Wittgenstein and Wagner, and contains the first convincing explanation for the sudden cancellation of Liszt's marriage to Princess Wittgenstein. The remaining sections consider the church music and the programmatic music that is related to this.
