Portret van een veelzijdig componist. 'De meester van de klinkende maskers', zo karakteriseerde de muziekfilosoof Theodor Adorno ooit Maurice Ravel. Als geen ander kan Ravel feilloos een muzikaal karakter oproepen, waarachter hij zich vervolgens behaaglijk verschanst. Zo spat de Spaanse vurigheid van het blad in Rapsodie espagnole, terwijl de onderkoelde barok-imitatie in Le tombeau de Couperin de luisteraar koude rillingen bezorgt. En wie zou denken dat de rokerige jazzy-atmosfeer van het Pianoconcerto en de geoliede orkestmachine van de Bolero uit het brein van dezelfde componist komen? Dit boek biedt een kennismaking met een componist die zich niet gemakkelijk laat kennen. De kroniek van leven en werk en de vijf thematische hoofdstukken willen de luisteraar niet alleen iets laten begrijpen. Bovenal wil dit boek smaak geven in Ravels muziek, die klinkende maskers waarop men maar niet uitgekeken raakt.

French composer Maurice Ravel was described by critics as a magician, conjurer, and illusionist. Scholars have been aware of this historical curiosity, but none so far have explained why Ravel attracted such critiques or what they might tell us about how to interpret his music. Magician of Sound examines Ravel's music through the lens of illusory experience, considering how timbre, orchestral effects, figure/ground relationships, and impressions of motion and stasis might be experienced as if they were conjuring tricks. Applying concepts from music theory, psychology, philosophy, and the history of magic, Jessie Fillerup develops an approach to musical illusion that newly illuminates Ravel's fascination with machines and creates compelling links between his music and other forms of aesthetic illusion, from painting and poetry to fiction and phantasmagoria. Fillerup analyzes scenes of enchantment and illusory effects in Ravel's most popular works, including Boléro, La Valse, Daphnis et Chloé, and Rapsodie espagnole, relating his methods and musical effects to the practice of theatrical conjurers. Drawing on a rich well of primary sources, Magician of Sound provides a new interdisciplinary framework for interpreting this enigmatic composer, linking magic and music.

The music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), beloved by musicians and audiences since its debut, has been a difficult topic for scholars. The traditional stylistic categories of impressionism, symbolism, and neoclassicism, while relevant, have offered too little purchase on this fascinating but enigmatic work. In Ravel the Decadent, author Michael Puri provides an innovative and productive solution by locating the aesthetic origins of this music in the French Decadence and demonstrating the extension of this influence across the length of his oeuvre. From an array of Decadent topics Puri selects th
