by Caroline WieseIm Diskurs um das Musiktheater weitet sich ein Legitimationsproblem aus, das politische, wirtschaftliche und ästhetische Aspekte betrifft und die Kunstform in ihrer Existenz in Frage stellt. Welche Legitimationsstrategien bestimmen aber diesen Diskurs? Caroline Wiese nimmt Musiktheaterkritiken zu exemplarisch gewählten Werken aus den Bereichen Oper, Operette, Neues Musiktheater und Musical in den Fokus. Anhand des Materials fächert sie diskursive Denkmuster und Argumentationsstrukturen auf, die im Umfeld des Dispositivs »Musiktheater« verdichtet auftreten, und zeigt: Unabhängig von Gattung und Werk werden teils widersprüchliche Strategien wirksam.

by Anne Hameister Jan Philipp SprickMusiktheorie bietet ein großes Potenzial für die zukünftige Entwicklung von Musik.

Die Beiträger*innen untersuchen dieses Verhältnis von Musik, Musiktheorie und Zukunft in der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Dabei fokussieren sie den Zeitraum vom 19. bis zum 21. Jahrhundert aus historisch-historiographischer, kulturwissenschaftlicher, aber auch pragmatischer Perspektive und liefern damit einen Beitrag zur polyphonen Musikgeschichte aus musiktheoretischer Perspektive.

Musorgsky: Eight Essays and an Epilogue
by Richard Taruskin"It is [a] fully illuminated story that Richard Taruskin, in the path-breaking essays collected here, unfolds around Modest Musorgsky, Russia's greatest national composer.... [Taruskin's] tour de force comes with a frontal attack on all the Soviet-bred truisms that for a century have refashioned Musorgsky from what the evidence suggests he was--an aristocrat with an early clinical interest in true-to-life musical portraiture and a later penchant for drinking partners who were both folklore buffs and political reactionaries democrat."--From the foreword Incorporating both new and now-classic essays, this book for the first time sets the vocal works of Modest Musorgsky in a fully detailed cultural, political, and historical context. From this perspective Richard Taruskin revises fundamentally the composer's historical and artistic image, in particular debunking the century-old dogmas of Vladimir Stasov, Musorgsky's first biographer. Here the author offers the most complete explanation of the revision of the opera Boris Godunov, compares it to contemporaneous operas by Chaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov, advances a revisionary characterization of Khovanshchina as an aristocratic tragedy informed by a pessimistic view of history, discusses Musorgsky's use of folklore, and, focusing on Sorochintsi Fair, brings to a climax his refutation of Musorgsky as a protorevolutionary populist. The epilogue is a survey of revisionary productions of Musorgsky's works at home during the Gorbachev era.

Musorgsky and His Circle: A Russian Musical Adventure
by Professor Stephen WalshThe extraordinary group of Russian composers who came together in St Petersburg in the 1860s - long known as 'The Mighty Handful', but, as the moguchaya kuchka, better translated as 'the great little heap' - gave rise to one of the most fascinating and colourful stories in all musical history. Stephen Walsh, author of a major biography of their direct successor, Stravinsky, has written an absorbing account of Musorgsky and his circle - Borodin, Cui, Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov. With little or no musical education they created works of lasting significance - Musorgsky's Boris Godunov, Borodin's Prince Igor and Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade. Written with deep understanding and panache, The Kuchka, is highly engaging and a significant contribution to cultural history.

Muzio Clementi and British Musical Culture: Sources, Performance Practice and Style (Ashgate Historical Keyboard Series)
by Luca Lévi Sala Rohan H. Stewart-MacDonaldRecent scholarship has vanquished the traditional perception of nineteenth-century Britain as a musical wasteland. In addition to attempting more balanced assessments of the achievements of British composers of this period, scholars have begun to explore the web of reciprocal relationships between the societal, economic and cultural dynamics arising from the industrial revolution, the Napoleonic wars, and the ever-changing contours of British music publishing, music consumption, concert life, instrument design, performance practice, pedagogy and composition. Muzio Clementi (1752–1832) provides an ideal case-study for continued exploration of this web of relationships. Based in London for much of his life, whilst still maintaining contact with continental developments, Clementi achieved notable success in a diversity of activities that centred mainly on the piano. The present book explores Clementi’s multivalent contribution to piano performance, pedagogy, composition and manufacture in relation to British musical life and its international dimensions. An overriding purpose is to interrogate when, how and to what extent a distinctive British musical culture emerged in the early nineteenth century. Much recent work on Clementi has centred on the Italian National Edition of his complete works (MiBACT); several chapters report on this project, whilst continuing to pursue the book’s broader themes.

My Brother Benjamin
by Beth Britten'People are always asking, 'Aren't you proud of your famous brother?' I was, of course, but often wished he was not so famous so that one could see more of this brother who was such a joy to be with. Janet Baker has written that the air crackled when he walked into the room, and she was right...'The younger of Benjamin Britten's two sisters, Elizabeth ('Beth') Britten first published this loving and revealing portrait of their shared childhood in 1986. She evokes the Lowestoft upbringing of the four Britten siblings, their dentist father Robert, and mother Edith, who keenly encouraged the children's interest in music. She recalls the flat they shared in London while Benjamin studied at the Royal College of Music; and tells of 'The Old Mill at Snape', Britten's home/studio after its renovation by Beth's future father-in-law. Of special interest are Britten's letters to Beth from America, where he and Peter Pears emigrated in 1939 then became ensconced after war broke out.
