This is a reissue of the first edition of George Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, which has since evolved to become the largest and most authoritative work of its kind in English. The project grew in the making: the title page of Volume 1 (1879) refers to 'two volumes', but by the time Volume 4 appeared in 1889 there was also a 300-page appendix and a separate index volume. The dictionary was an international undertaking, with contributors from Paris, Leipzig, Berlin, Vienna and Boston alongside those based in Britain. It was 'intended to supply a great and long acknowledged want' arising from the increased interest in all aspects of music, which was 'rapidly becoming an essential branch of education', and to cater for the professional while being accessible to the amateur. It is a fascinating document of musical tastes and values in the late Victorian period.

This volume contains the proceedings of a conference in Meran in October 2015 on intercultural aesthetics with the addition of some external contributions. Two general papers on the topic concerned (Ram Adhar Mall, Giusi Strumiello) are followed by contributions on music (H.-C. Günther on Mahler and on Busoni, Yoon Young Serena Kim on Yun Isang), Indian and Chinese art (Ram Adhar Mall, Harro von Senger, Gabriele Kiesewetter), urban planning (Thilo Hilpert) and film (Udo Steinbach). The contributions on art and urban planning are amply illustrated. The appendix contains colour reproductions of an exhibition of watercolours by the Chinese artist Hong Yi with an introduction to the artist's work and detailed explanations of the painting by Gabriele Kiesewetter.

This thoughtful and provocative book explores the relationship between music and the visual arts in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing on the modernist period. Reassessing the work of composers and artists such as Richard Wagner, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Josef Matthias Hauer, and John Cage, Simon Shaw-Miller argues that despite modernism's advocacy of media purity and separation, the boundaries between art and music were permeable at this time, as they have been throughout history.Shaw-Miller begins by discussing the place of Wagner's music and ideas at the time of the birth of modernism, presenting Wagner's aesthetic of the Gesamtkunstwerk as an alternative paradigm for modernist art. He goes on to analyze Picasso's use of musical subjects in his cubist works and Klee's adoption of music and the issue of temporality in his paintings and drawings. He concludes with the radical aesthetic of Cage, the silencing of sound, and the promotion of intermediality in the work of Fluxus artists. Through these fascinating examples, Shaw-Miller raises questions about both art and music history that will be of interest to students of both disciplines.

Die Beiträge dieses Bandes rekonstruieren das komplexe Verhältnis von Bild und Musik in historischer Perspektive von der frühen Neuzeit bis in die Moderne. In der alltäglichen Medien- und Werbepraxis werden Bilder von spezifischen Tonsignets unterlegt, um sich dem Kaufinteressenten unauslöschlich einzuschreiben. Weiter kommentieren und vertiefen rhythmisierte Musikausschnitte den Fluss laufender Bilder. Dieses Verhältnis auch im Sinne einer Einheit der verschiedenen Zeichensysteme von Bild und Musik ist, vor allem von den historischen und medialen Voraussetzungen aus betrachtet, nicht fraglos hinzunehmen. Es betont weniger die Übergängigkeit zwischen den Medien im Sinne einer Synästhesie als vielmehr die Differenz, auf Grund derer erst an den Rändern durch einen Überschuss des jeweiligen Sinns von Hören und Sehen mögliche Berührungen zwischen der bildenden Kunst und der Musik entstehen. Dabei ist es die diachrone, dezidiert interdisziplinäre Herangehensweise, die eine umfassende Erschließung des Gegenstands aus kunst- und musikwissenschaftlicher Perspektive ermöglicht.

Beautiful Monsters explores the ways in which "classical" music made its way into late twentieth-century American mainstream culture--in pop songs, movie scores, and print media. Beginning in the 1960s, Michael Long's entertaining and illuminating book surveys a complex cultural field and draws connections between "classical music" (as the phrase is understood in the United States) and selected "monster hits" of popular music. Addressing such wide-ranging subjects as surf music, Yiddish theater, Hollywood film scores, Freddie Mercury, Alfred Hitchcock, psychedelia, rap, disco, and video games, Long proposes a holistic musicology in which disparate musical elements might be brought together in dynamic and humane conversation. Beautiful Monsters brilliantly considers the ways in which critical commonplaces like nostalgia, sentiment, triviality, and excess might be applied with greater nuance to musical media and media reception. It takes into account twentieth-century media's capacity to suggest visual and acoustical depth and the redemptive possibilities that lie beyond the surface elements of filmic narrative or musical style, showing us what a truly global view of late twentieth-century music in its manifold cultural and social contexts might be like.

"After Sound examines contemporary art practices that reconceive music beyond the limitation of sound. Coining the term "critical music," it examines a diverse collection of art projects which intervene into specific political and philosophical conflicts by exploring music's unique historical forms"--
