Alfred Music #74-0143126067. Published by Alfred Music (AP.74-0143126067). ISBN 9780143126065. English. [Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart] By Paul Johnson. In this brilliant biography, acclaimed historian Paul Johnson draws upon his expert knowledge of the era and Mozart's own private letters to conjure Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life and times in rich detail. Johnson charts Mozart's life from age three through to his later years. Along the way, Johnson challenges some of the popular myths that cloud Mozart's image: his allegedly tempestuous personal relationships and supposedly bitter rivalry with Salieri, as well as the notion that he was desperately impoverished when he died. The result---a bold, invigorating portrait of one of the most popular and influential composers of all time. $17.00 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

Par CANTAGREL GILLES. «Ce livre est né de toutes les curiosités que suscitent Bach et sa musique. Combien de fois ne m'a-t-on posé les mêmes questions, révélant les incompréhensions qui persistent autour du cantor de Leipzig ?
Un compositeur très peu connu de son vivant ? Faux, on l'appelait alors le 'mondialement célêbre Bach'.
Oublié aprês sa mort en 1750 ? Pas du tout, Beethoven et Mozart jouaient ses oeuvres et les admiraient.
Anna Magdalena, sa veuve, réduite à la mendicité ? Erreur, encore, puisqu'elle a bénéficié jusqu'à la fin de ses jours de pensions modestes.
Sans descendants aujourd'hui ? Allons donc, il en existe d'assez nombreux qui honorent sa mémoire.
Preuves à l'appui, la réalité se révêle beaucoup plus diverse et riche. Beaucoup plus intéressante, aussi.»
Il fallait l'érudition et les talents de passeur de Gilles Cantagrel pour redonner à Bach son épaisseur et, à son oeuvre, sa portée.
En détaillant chaque aspect de sa vie et de son héritage, il nous donne les clés pour mesurer l'importance de son apport et, se faisant, dresse un véritable monument de papier à ce pilier de la musique occidentale.
Livre de passionné riche de mille découvertes, Sur les traces de Jean-Sébastien Bach dévoile un familier méconnu, une musique tant de fois entendue, si révérée mais jamais tout à fait comprise. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Few composers since the mid-twentieth century have escaped Mahler's influence. This book is the first discussion of Mahler's ten completed symphonies to offer music lovers a comprehensive overview of the music as it strikes today's listeners. The book caters to the novice as well as the expert as David Hurwitz describes what the listener will hear section by section. He explains how each work is arranged how the various parts relate to one another and how one work leads to the next. The emphasis throughout is on the experience of listening and how each symphony embodies Mahler's dictum that the symphony 'must embrace the world. It must contain everything'. Hurwitz describes the emotional extravagance that lies at the root of Mahler's popularity the consistency of his symphonic thinking and his dazzling and revolutionary use of orchestral instruments to create an expressive musical language that is varied in content and immediate in impact.

Compositeur, bon vivant, pianiste, enseignant, showman superstar, conteur, écrivain, entrepreneur, ladies' man, philanthrope et prêtre, Franz Liszt est largement considéré aujourd'hui non seulement comme un grand compositeur, mais aussi comme le plus grand pianiste du XIXe siècle. Pourtant son corps énorme de musique pour piano, tour à tour poétique, étincelant, acrobatique, prophétique, profonde et obsédant, échoua à commander le succès qu'il mérite de son vivant. Dans Liszt, John Bell Young faut examiner de près à cette musique opulente, illuminant ses multiples facettes et défis du pianiste engagés perspective.

He lived in the shadow of death painfully aware of the tuberculosis that would kill him prematurely. But Frédéric Chopin attained immortality with his Piano works which endure as pinnacles of the instrument's repertoire. This biography by one of the nineteenth century's foremost pianists--Chopin's friend and fellow artist Franz Liszt--offers a highly informed assessment of the Polish composer's musical legacy. It is further enlivened by the author's personal acquaintance with Chopin's other friends who constituted the very cream of Parisian intellectual and artistic society.Born a year apart Chopin andLiszt came of age in an era favorable to musical change when audiences as well as performers were receptive to Romanticism's innovations. Liszt surveys the technical brilliance as well as the poetry of Chopin's masterpieces including the 'Adagio' from Piano Concerto No. 2 and Polonaise in F-sharp Minor. He also chronicles Chopin's progress from child prodigy to the darling of Parisian salons. A source of rare and unparalleled insights into Chopin's world of private anguish and public triumph this memoir recounts the composer's loneliness as a Polish emigré his tempestuous romance with George Sand and his life among a glittering social set that included Balzac Hugo Berlioz Delacroix and Schumann.Reprint of the Oliver Ditson Company Boston 1880 edition.

Les Éditions Outre Mesure publient avec Bix la première biographie en...(+)
Les Éditions Outre Mesure publient avec Bix la première biographie en langue française du cornettiste de jazz Bix Beiderbecke (1903-1931).
Cet artiste singulier, au parcours fulgurant et mouvementé, est souvent reconnu comme le premier grand jazzman blanc. Personnage paradoxal, discret autant que résolu, sa fragilité s?impose comme une évidence : il a ouvert la voie à une expression intimiste et ciselée, donnant accès à un univers sonore qui privilégie, face à la clarté fougueuse d?Armstrong par exemple, la nuance et la demi-teinte. Ce relâchement influencera plusieurs générations de musiciens, de Lester Young à Boris Vian. Précocement disparu au terme d?une auto-destruction lente et irrémédiable ? qui en fera la première « légende » du jazz ?, Bix Beiderbecke a inspiré le personnage du Jeune homme à la trompette de Dorothy Baker en 1938, et du film qu?en a tiré Michael Curtiz.
Au-delà de la biographie et du « portrait social » des États-Unis des années 1920, cette étude permet de replacer un groupe important de jeunes jazzmen blancs dans les rangs des pionniers de cette musique métissée, à côté des musiciens noirs qui les ont accompagnés dans cette création.
Cet ouvrage est le premier livre de son auteur, Jean Pierre Lion, qui s?est immergé plusieurs années durant au c?ur de son sujet. Aucun lieu, aucun témoignage, et bien sûr aucun enregistrement, article ou ouvrage en rapport avec Bix Beiderbecke qui n?ait fait l?objet d?une investigation directe. L?ouvrage est enrichi d?annexes et de documents parfois exclusifs (dont une discographie exhaustive du musicien), ainsi que d?une riche iconographie composée de nombreuses photographies inédites. / Livre / Agrafé /
