Lebewohl: Reconstructions of Death and Leave-taking in Music (Interplay: Music in Interdisciplinary Dialogue)

Barbara R. Barry

4.9/5 (14865 ratings)

Description:Confrontation; victim; journey these are the three perspectives that form the basis of the book Lebewohl . Its sections farewell, absence and return follow the titles of the movements of Beethoven s Lebewohl piano sonata, and project stances of death and models of mortality in music. As narrative reconstructions, the chapters examine how musical techniques are inflected by the theme, or subtext, of mortality, and through those reconstructions trace the dynamics of desire and trajectories of loss. The book presents these three sets of perspectives about death and mortality in music as case studies in the technique of structural poetics: how instrumental compositional techniques are inflected by the poetic subtext of mortality; and conversely, how operatic writing about conflict and death, underpinned by literary or dramatic substructures, projects existential predicaments that are mirrors of human experience. In the book s final chapter of return, these explorations are seen as Faust narratives as Everyman s search for meaning in the multiple worlds of space-time, real time and musical time. At a time when contemporary society s glamorous images are largely, if not entirely in denial about death, Lebewohl reconfirms our humanity through powerful and persuasive musical representations of death and leave-taking; and in coming to terms with our own mortality, enriches the journey through the transformative power of music.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
