Improvisation was a crucial aspect of musical life in Europe from the late eighteenth century through to the middle of the nineteenth, representing a central moment in both public occasions and the private lives of many artists. Composers dedicated themselves to this practice at length while formulating the musical ideas later found at the core of their published works; improvisation was thus closely linked to composition itself. The full extent of this relation can be inferred from both private documents and reviews of concerts featuring improvisations, while these texts also inform us that composers quite often performed in public as both improvisers and interpreters of pieces written by themselves or others. Improvisations presented in concert were distinguished by a remarkable degree of structural organisation and complexity, demonstrating performers’ consolidated abilities in composition as well as their familiarity with the rules for improvising outlined by theoreticians.

Cadence is a comprehensive examination of how formal units in European art music of the tonal era achieve closure. The book brings together the author's decades-long investigations into cadence, a compositional device that is readily experienced both by musicians and non-musicians, but one that has proven intractable to clear and precise theoretical formulation. Rooted in Caplin's broader theory of formal functions, the book first develops concepts of cadence for music of the high classical style and then extends these ideas to gauge cadential practice in earlier and later style periods. Throughout the study, various manifestations of cadence are defined in terms of their morphology (their harmonic and melodic profiles) as well as their function (the specific formal contexts in which they are deployed). Cadence introduces a host of theoretical concepts illustrated by copious musical examples, all of which contain extensive analytical annotations of harmony, melody and form. Though the book is addressed primarily to music theorists, the many issues of compositional practice raised in this study will resonate with the interests of composers, historians, and performers alike.

Beethoven galt als Meister auf dem Gebiet der Klavierimprovisation. Wie sehr auch seine Konzerte für Klavier bis in die formale Konzeption der Werke davon beeinflusst waren, zeigt diese Studie zu Beethovens Klavierkonzert op. 58. Das Konzert wird oft in Bezug auf seine ?improvisatorische Qualität?, aber auch seine die Konzertform betreffenden Neuerungen beschrieben. Vor dem Hintergrund dieses Spannungsverhältnisses wird die Kategorie des Improvisatorischen als primärer analytischer Blickwinkel fokussiert. Unter Rückgriff auf zeittypische Improvisationstraktate - u. a. Czernys Systematische Anleitung zum Fantasieren für das Pianoforte (1829) - werden einige an der historischen Improvisationspraxis orientierte Parameter erarbeitet, was eine neue Perspektive auf das Konzert op. 58 mit all seinen ?formalen Rätseln? ermöglicht.

The revised edition of Sync or Swarm promotes an ecological view of musicking, moving us from a subject-centered to a system-centered view of improvisation. It explores cycles of organismic self-regulation, cycles of sensorimotor coupling between organism and environment, and cycles of intersubjective interaction mediated via socio-technological networks. Chapters funnel outward, from the solo improviser (Evan Parker), to nonlinear group dynamics (Sam Rivers trio), to networks that comprise improvisational communities, to pedagogical dynamics that affect how individuals learn, completing the hermeneutic circle. Winner of the Society for Ethnomusicology's Alan Merriam prize in its first edition, the revised edition features new sections that highlight electro-acoustic and transcultural improvisation, and concomitant issues of human-machine interaction and postcolonial studies.

Begriffe wie Sicherheit, Freiheit, Risiko waren den Diskursen im Kontext Neuer Musik von Anfang an inhärent. Eine Sicherheitszone in Richtung Freiheit zu verlassen, verlangt ein gewisses Risiko, das wiederum zu Verunsicherungen und Forderungen nach erhöhter Sicherheit führen kann. Das Spannungsfeld zwischen kompositorischer Freiheit und einem Ordnungsbedürfnis des musikalischen Materials, zwischen Kontrolle und radikalem Kontrollverzicht hat die Geschichte der Neuen Musik in sich stets wandelnden Konstellationen bis heute geprägt. Dazu kommen Fragestellungen, etwa ob Kunst heute, so wie die Avantgarden des 20. Jahrhunderts, überhaupt noch verunsichern kann, oder ob das gestiegene Sicherheitsbedürfnis auf politischer Ebene in letzter Zeit sich auf der Ebene der Kunst widerspiegelt. Dieser Thematik bzw. Fragestellungen dieser Art gehen in diesem Band wissenschaftliche wie auch künstlerische Beiträge nach.

Musicians, music lovers and music critics have typically considered Beethoven's overtly political music as an aberration; at best, it is merely notorious, at worst, it is denigrated and ignored. In Political Beethoven, Nicholas Mathew returns to the musical and social contexts of the composer's political music throughout his career - from the early marches and anti-French war songs of the 1790s to the grand orchestral and choral works for the Congress of Vienna - to argue that this marginalized functional art has much to teach us about the lofty Beethovenian sounds that came to define serious music in the nineteenth century. Beethoven's much-maligned political compositions, Mathew shows, lead us into the intricate political and aesthetic contexts that shaped all of his oeuvre, thus revealing the stylistic, ideological and psycho-social mechanisms that gave Beethoven's music such a powerful voice - a voice susceptible to repeated political appropriation, even to the present day.

This book is born out of two contradictions: first, it explores the making of meaning in a musical form that was made to lose its meaning at the turn of the nineteenth century; secondly, it is a history of a music that claims to have no history - absolute music. The book therefore writes against that notion of absolute music which tends to be the paradigm for most musicological and analytical studies. It is concerned not so much with what music is, but with why and how meaning is constructed in instrumental music and what structures of knowledge need to be in place for such meaning to exist. From the thought of Vincenzo Galilei to that of Theodore Adorno, Daniel Chua suggests that instrumental music has always been a critical and negative force in modernity, even with its nineteenth-century apotheosis as 'absolute music'.

During the years preceding the composition of Tristan and Isolde, Wagner's aesthetics underwent a momentous turnaround, principally as a result of his discovery of Schopenhauer. Many of Schopenhauer's ideas, especially those regarding music's metaphysical significance, resonated with patterns of thought that had long been central to Wagner's aesthetics, and Wagner described the entry of Schopenhauer into his life as "a gift from heaven." Chafe argues that Wagner's Tristan and Isolde is a musical and dramatic exposition of metaphysical ideas inspired by Schopenhauer. The first part of the book covers the philosophical and literary underpinnings of the story, exploring Schopenhauer's metaphysics and Gottfried van Strassburg's Tristan poem. Chafe then turns to the events in the opera, providing tonal and harmonic analyses that reinforce his interpretation of the drama. Chafe acts as an expert guide, interpreting and illustrating most important moments for his reader. Ultimately, Chafe creates a critical account of Tristan, in which the drama is shown to develop through the music.
