Claude Debussy'S Clair De Lune

by Gurminder Kaur Bhogal

15,89€ + 10% CARD

 Debussy himself had little regard for Clair de Lune, and scholars have thus far followed suit--until now. Claude Debussy''s Clair de Lune is the first book wholly dedicated to an historical, cultural, and analytical investigation of the French composer''s famous composition for piano. Author Gurminder Kaur Bhogal explores why, over any other piece in Debussy''s repertoire for piano, Clair de Lune achieved stardom in the decades following the composer''s death, and how, as the third movement of the Suite Bergamasque, it managed to almost fully eclipse the other movements. Drawing on a broad range of excerpts from classical and popular music, commercials, film, and video games, Bhogal examines the various ways in which listeners have engaged with the piece. She also places it in its proper artistic context, through analysis alongside the poetry of Paul Verlaine and the paintings of Jean-Antoine Watteau. A wide range of aural, visual, and video examples energize the narrative, and demonstrate how Clair de Lune has come to achieve an iconic status within and beyond Debussy''s oeuvre.

Alfred Schnittke'S Concerto Grosso No. 1

by Peter J. Schmelz

17,21€ + 10% CARD

 Concerto Grosso no. 1 is one of Alfred Schnittke''s best-known and most compelling works, sounding the surface of late Soviet life while resonating with contemporary compositional currents around the world such as postmodernism. It marked a decisive point in Schnittke''s development of the approach he called polystylism, which aimed to contain in a single composition the wide range of contemporary musical styles, including "jazz, pop, rock, or serial music." Thanks to it and his other similar compositions, Schnittke became one of the most-performed and most-recorded living composers at the end of the twentieth century.Peter J. Schmelz''s Alfred Schnittke''s Concerto Grosso no. 1 represents the first accessible and comprehensive study of this composition. The novel structure of the book engages with the piece conceptually, historically, musically, and phenomenologically, with the six movements of the composition framing the six chapters. Augmenting and complicating the insights of existing English, Russian, and German publications on the Concerto Grosso no. 1, the book adds new information from underused primary sources, including Schnittke''s unpublished correspondence and his many published interviews. It engages further with his sketches for the piece, and with contemporary Soviet musical criticism, resulting in a more objective, historical account of this rich, multifaceted composition, its influences, and its impact on music making in the USSR and worldwide.
