ISBN : 0190083999
Book Description
While descriptions of musical form have, from the nineteenth century until today, come to rely heavily on architectonic analogies, commentators previously often invoked the metaphor of a journey to describe the structure of a composition. In Journeys Through Galant Expositions, author L. Poundie Burstein encourages readers to view the form of Galant music as a movement toward a destination that unfolds in time and is punctuated by a series of resting points - -just as those who composed, performed, and listened to music in the mid-1700s would have experienced it.By elucidating eighteenth-century notions and analytic approaches of musical form and applying them to a wide range of compositions, from those of Haydn and Mozart to others that are often overlooked, this innovative study provides an accessible new window into the music of this time. Rather than just dissecting concepts from the 1700s as a historical exercise or treating them as a precursor of later theories, Burstein invigorates the ideas of theorists such as Heinrich Christoph Koch and shows how they can directly impact our understanding and appreciation of Galant music as audiences and performers.
