Franz Liszt: Life Of Chopin

Franz Liszt: Life Of Chopin

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 and Liszt 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.

Songs Of Work & Protest

Songs Of Work & Protest

No other form could capture the history of the labor movement better than the songs sung in times both bitter and courageous by coal miners and textile workers, railroad men and steelworkers, farmers, seamen, and cow-hands as they worked to supply the nation's needs and as they worked to defeat political and industrial tyranny, child labor, hunger, poverty, and unemployment. This collection includes a hundred songs of the people, as they have been sung at one time or another on the workers' long road toward freedom and justice, together with the stories of the genuine situations from which they sprang. They are straight trade union songs and ditties: specific songs of miners,textile workers, steel, and railway workers and farmers: typical working songs of sailors, canalers, lumberjacks, and cowboys: songs of the hardships that working men and women have to face during times of depression: philosophic songs and ironic comments on the economic system: songs that grew out of the fight against slavery: and songs expressing the dreams of people of many lands throughout the ages. Often set to tunes of familiar folk songs, popular songs, and gospel hymns, these are the songs by which unions organized and which the members of each labor group sang out. They are songs sung to words by itinerant wanderers, unlettered farmers, and factory hands: songs by Joe Hill, Ralph Chaplin, Joe Glazer, Merle Traive, Woody Guthrie, the Almanac Singers: songs by famous poets such as Burns and Blake. Most of the songs are American in origin. A few, drawn from England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Israel, and the Philippines, remind us that the fight for freedom knows no boundaries. The songs are presented with simple piano accompaniments and guitar chords to encourage their use in group singing. The songs of work and the songs of protest are, in a very important sense, the songs of the New World, capturing the stirring sounds and deep emotions of people over hundreds of years on the march to build a better world. Whether you are looking for material for singing or whether you are looking for material on the struggles of the labor movement, there will be much in this important collection for song and for thought.

Alexander Scriabin: Poem Of Ecstasy And Prometheus: Poem Of Fire

Alexander Scriabin: Poem Of Ecstasy And Prometheus: Poem Of Fire

In the early years of our century, when vital new forces were revolutionising the arts, Russian-born Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) was one of the visionary pioneers who sought a new musical language. At least a full decade before the advances of Stravinsky and Schoenberg, Scriabin had begun the process of a complete break with all musical conventions. By 1905 he was immersed in a search for a way to express, in sound, the mystical and theosophical ideas obsessed him. Scriabin ’s last two orchestral works were the products of a virtual delirium of composing. Simultaneously refining his poem called Poem of Ecstasy and completing the symphony that grew out of it (and shared its name), Scriabin never forgot the rapture of composing this work about creation and self-fulfilment: “I gasp for breath, but oh, what bliss! The very meter kindles the meaning…” Prometheus: Poem of Fire – Scriabin ’s last and most revolutionary symphony – portrays Man’s epic journey from the mists of beginning time to a wonderous self-realisation, given the gift of fire and light to make creative vision possible. Massively scored, Prometheus incorporates a “colour Organ” to bathe the performance space in a vast interplay of coloured lights. For the music professional and every student of composition, orchestration and conducting, both scores are strikingly original and instructive. Equally fascinating are Scriabin ’s approach to composition, the extraordinary sonorities of his orchestra and his fanciful, often supercharged, performance instructions that replace conventional words for tempo, mood and expression.
