Abstract

"Byron Almen proposes an original synthesis of approaches to musical narrative from literary criticism, semiotics, historiography, musicology, and music theory, resulting in a significant critical reorientation of the field. This volume includes an extensive survey of traditional approaches to musical narrative, a careful delineation of the essential elements and preconditions of musical narrative organization, an eclectic analytical model applicable to a wide range of musical styles and repertoires, a diverse range of musical examples illustrating the range and applicability of the theoretical apparatus, a classification scheme of narrative types and subtypes reflecting conceptually distinct narrative strategies, a wide array of interpretive categories, and a sensitivity to the dependence of narrative interpretation on the cultural milieu of the work, its various audiences, and the analyst. A Theory of Musical Narrative provides both an excellent introduction to an increasingly important conceptual domain and a complex reassessment of its possibilities and characteristics."-- Amazon.com

Abstract

Program music was one of the most flexible and contentious novelties of the long nineteenth century, covering a diverse range that included the overtures of Beethoven and Mendelssohn, the literary music of Berlioz and Schumann, Liszt's symphonic poems, the tone poems of Strauss and Sibelius, and compositions by groups of composers in Russia, Bohemia, the United States, and France. In this accessible Introduction, Jonathan Kregor explores program music's ideas and repertoire, discussing both well-known and less familiar pieces by an array of nineteenth- and twentieth-century composers. Setting program music in the context of the intellectual debates of the period, Kregor presents the criticism of writers like A. B. Marx and Hanslick to reveal program music's growth, dissemination, and reception. This comprehensive overview features numerous illustrations and music examples and provides detailed case studies of battle music, Shakespeare settings, and Goethe's Faust.

Abstract

This volume explores the diverse ways in which programm music was historicized. The history of program music stretches back centuries, but only in the nineteenth century did it enter into widespread use. Indeed, seminal compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven and Frédéric Chopin to Arnold Schoenberg and Jean Sibelius have helped program music to secure a position within the artistic pantheon, albeit not without bringing a significant amount of controversy in tow. Yet despite its ubiquitous presence in the nineteenth century, scholarship has not adequately articulated the full extent of program music's range and impact. This volume explores the diverse ways in which program music was defined, historicized, practiced, disseminated, and judged. It considers how biography, tradition, and function informed the compositional approaches taken by Beethoven, Joseph Joachim, Ethel Smyth, and Zygmunt Noskowski, among others. It draws on extra-musical elements, novels, poems, lithographs, and other forms of creative expression to determine the ontological profile of works by Chopin, Franz Liszt, Antonio Pasculli, Piotr Tchaikovsky, and Leoš Janáček. It situates compositions by Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler, Sibelius, and Schoenberg within the ongoing discourse around Hanslickian absolute and Lisztian program music. And it visits major European cities to highlight the critical streams of reception toward the end of the century. Throughout, it repeatedly engages with questions of generic identity (with special attention given to the symphonic poem), issues of narrativity and topicality, and considerations of form and structure. Jonathan Kregor is Professor of Musicology at the University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music. His research interests include aesthetics, Franz Liszt, musical reproduction, music and memory, virtuosity and gender, and art song. He is the author of "Liszt as Transcriber" (2010); "Program Music" (2015); editor of works by CPE Bach and Clara Schumann.

Abstract

"Depuis l'Antiquité, toute l'histoire de l'esthétique et de la réflexion philosophique portant sur la musique est marquée par un antagonisme profond. L'une des approches accentue les caractéristiques dites « formelles », mesurables et objectives des phénomènes musicaux, tandis que l'autre tient compte de l'expression, du rôle social, de la valeur communicative des oeuvres musicales. De nos jours on constate le retour de la discorde. La musicologie actuelle peut être considérée comme la scène d'un champ de bataille acharnée entre deux forces antinomiques : celle des représentants du formalisme musical contemporain, et celle qui cherche - grâce aux outils théoriques empruntés à l'évolution récente des sciences humaines - à comprendre la manière dont la musique exprime ou signifie notre rapport au monde, aux unités culturelles de chaque époque historique. C'est de cette façon que les apports de la sémiotique et de la narratologie littéraire, de l'étude de l'intermédialité, des sciences cognitives, des performance studies, des gender studies, etc. peuvent féconder la réflexion actuelle sur les oeuvres musicales.Cet ouvrage réunit vingt-trois textes de musicologues parmi les plus grands spécialistes de renommée internationale (de plusieurs pays aussi bien que français), dans le domaine de l'examen des signes musicaux (voir : théorie des topiques ou théorie de l'intonation), comme dans celui de l'organisation des éléments expressifs à l'intérieur d'une forme musicale instrumentale (voir : narratologie musicale). Une première partie aborde les questions théoriques soulevées par ces approches contemporaines, tandis que la deuxième partie de l'ouvrage se consacre aux analyses des œuvres - allant de Mozart jusqu'à la musique contemporaine de Carter, Henze, Harvey, en passant par Schubert, Chopin, Mahler - appliquant ces méthodes nouvelles. La confrontation avec le formalisme est omniprésente, permettant d'aboutir aux dépassements dialectique."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Who "speaks" to us in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, in Wagner's operas, in a Mahler symphony? In asking this question, Carolyn Abbate opens nineteenth-century operas and instrumental works to new interpretations as she explores the voices projected by music. The nineteenth-century metaphor of music that "sings" is thus reanimated in a new context, and Abbate proposes interpretive strategies that "de-center" music criticism, that seek the polyphony and dialogism of music, and that celebrate musical gestures often marginalized by conventional music analysis.
