Chopin and Romantic Music (Masters of Music)



Your Ad Here









The life of Frederic Chopin (1810-1849) is interwoven with an account of nineteenth-century Europe's Romantic movement in music. Many other important Romantic composers are discussed, notably Schubert, Liszt, Mendelssohn, and Schumann. Also shown in words and pictures is the evolution of the modern piano--an instrument much favored by Chopin, Liszt, and many other Romantic composers. Barron's Masters of Music volumes are beautifully illustrated and informative books for older children. They review various aspects of music's history and discuss the work of important composers. While presenting historical and biographical information, the books also explain details of instrument construction, basic music theory, and the evolution of music's forms. Illustrations show people, places, and instruments within historical contexts, and detailed picture captions and labels explain everything from how instruments produce sound to how an opera is staged. (Ages 11 and older)

The Song Cycle (Cambridge Introductions to Music)





The song cycle was one of the most important musical genres of the nineteenth century. Famous examples by Schubert, Schumann and Mahler have received a great deal of attention. Yet many other cycles - by equally famous composers, from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - have not. The Song Cycle introduces key concepts and a broad repertoire by tracing a history of the genre from Beethoven through to the present day. It explores how song cycles reflect the world around them and how national traditions and social relationships are represented in composers' choice of texts and musical styles. Tunbridge investigates how other types of music have influenced the scope of the song cycle, from operas and symphonies to popular song. A lively and engaging guide to this important topic, the book outlines how performance practices, from concert customs to new recording technologies, have changed the way we listen.
