NOISE MUSIC und die Tradition künstlerischer Avantgarden des 20. Jhdts: Das einleitende Kapitel beginnt mit einem kulturhistorischen Überblick über die Herausbildung geräuschhafter Musik im 20. Jahrhundert. Das nächste Kapitel befasst sich mit dem primären Ort moderner Musikproduktion- der Stadt. Der urbane Raum wird dabei sowohl als reicher Pool außermusikalischer Klänge diskutiert, als auch als Produktions- und Konsumstätte von Musik verstanden. Im Kontext der Club Culture wird besonders auf die Etablierung des turntablism und der DJ culture eingegangen. Anhand dieser Subkultur wird ein neuer, postmoderner Zugang zu hochkulturellen Technologien beschrieben, der auch in der glitch und noise music aufgenommen werden wird. Im vierten Kapitel wird die technische Entwicklung, vom frühen 20. Jahrhundert bis zur Einführung digitaler Medien, und deren Auswirkungen auf den kreativen Schaffensprozess von Musik nachgezeichnet. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung ökonomischer Verfügbarkeit hochkultureller Technologien und dem Entstehen neuer Distributionswege, wird die gegenwärtige Musikproduktion beleuchtet. Das fünfte Kapitel ist medientheoretischen Überlegungen und den Auswirkungen des mediatisierten Alltags auf den Produktions- und Rezeptionsprozess von Musik gewidmet. Im sechsten Kapitel werden die unterschiedlichen Stile einer post- digital music erläutert (cracked media).

Here is one of the most enjoyable and illuminating books ever published for the music lover, a feast of delightful anecdotes that reveal the all-too-human side of the great composers and performers.There are stories of appetites (Handel eating dinner for three), embarrassments (Brahms falling asleep as Liszt plays), oddities (Bruckner''s dog being trained to howl at Wagner), and devotions (a lovely admirer disrobing in tribute to Puccini). There are memorable accounts of Stravinsky telling Proust how much he hates Beethoven, of Tchaikovsky''s first bewildering telephone call, of Dvorak''s strange love of pigeons, and of Verdi''s intricate maneuvering to keep the now-famous melody of "La donna è mobile" top secret.There is also wonderful trivia (Beethoven loved to cat "bread soup" made with ten raw eggs), along with eccentric strategies (Verdi, disturbed by the sound of street organs playing arias from his operas, hired them all for a season and kept them locked in a room). There are examples of musicians munificent generosity (Haydn called Mozart "the greatest composer known to me, either in person or by name"), and scathing dismissal ("Have you heard any Stockhausen?" the conductor Sir Thomas Beecham was asked. "No," he replied, "but I believe I have trodden in some").Collected from thousands of books, articles, and unpublished manuscripts (with historical sources provided in extensive notes), these anecdotes appear in their original form, throwing fresh light on familiar figures in the musical hall of fame. For browsing, reading, research and amusement, this book is a grand entertainment for concert-goers, record-buyers, operamanes, gossips and music lovers everywhere.

Debussy's sole completed opera was given its premiere at Paris' Opera Comique on April 30, 1902. It was the culmination of an eight-year effort on the composer's part. Though not an immediate sensation like Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" two years later in Milan, the five-act lyric drama, after the identically titled play by Maeterlinck, enjoyed a successful run in the first two decades of the 20th century. This new vocal score is a digitally-enhanced reprint of the one issued in Paris by A. Durand et Fils in 1907, with an English translation of the text by Harry Grafton Chapman appearing beneath the original French. Now available in a convenient, readable A4 format at an affordable price. In contrast to so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is actually readable. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library. Wikipedia article IMSLP page
