This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III Laws Of Construction Between the joyful discovery of an operatic subject and its definitive adaptation for composition there is a long road to travel, and this road leads, first of all, through the territory of substantial, workmanlike technic, such as all great dramatists from Shakespeare to Richard Wagner have possessed. What we call technic is, in the last analysis, merely the systematic application of those rules which guarantee a certain stage-effect on the audience. Technic therefore can never be gray theory; it is ever the golden fruit of the tree of life. Although it is thus, as to its better part, mostly gained by experience, it must be systematically practised in the outset in certain elementary concepts; otherwise the beginner would employ too much valuable time in learning experimentally from individual cases over which, viewed as members of a system, he would gain the mastery in brief space. Buffon remarked: "Art is mathematics; great effects are produced by simple means well combined." And Maupassant wrote to Vauclaire: "Genius is nothing but enduring patience." Certainly, one cannot get along with technic alone, but without it one will never be anything but a bungler, even when one has a superfluity of "splendid ideas." "Craftsmanship acquired within limitations must always precede all life, all action, all art. To know and practise one thing well is a higher education than half-knowledge of many things," declares Goethe. Great art-works can be created only by the reciprocal action of knowledge and imagination, never by imagination or knowledge alone. And hardly any other branch of art is so dependent on this reciprocal action, as the musical drama. This is the ultimate source of Wagner's tremendous...

In the late 1500s in Florence, aristocrats of the Renaissance renovated classical Greek dramas into dramatic musicals and gave birth to the first operas. After centuries of transformation, the opera is still appreciated as a historically dynamic paradigm of the fine arts. Composers of the twentieth century have worked hard to fashion a voice distinct from the romantic composers of the nineteenth century and the traditions that preceded them, and this volume explores the extent of their success. Beginning with a thorough introduction to the history of operatic forms and transformation, this book presents a comprehensive discussion of twentieth century opera. Giving ear to many composers and many styles--romantic and modern and assorted variations--the discussion includes such globally renowned composers as Strauss, Puccini, Prokofiev and Mascagni, as well as the esoteric works of less famous composers. Spanning as it does from Puccini's Tosca and Charpentier's Louise to Heggie's Dead Man Walking and Corigliano's The Ghosts of Versailles, twentieth century operatic form has something for every taste. The discussion is therefore structured chronologically and directed at exploring this complex diversity and ingenuity of twentieth-century styles. Examples from across the globe and firsthand commentary from contemporary operatic professionals complement the discussion. Concluding chapters comment upon the operatic presence in the twenty-first century and the future of operatic forms.
