Requests:  0 Summary:  "A History of the Symphony: The Grand Genre identifies the underlying cultural factors that have shaped the symphony over the past 300 years, presenting a unified view of the entire history of the genre. The text goes beyond discussions of individual composers and the stylistic evolution of the genre to address what constitutes a symphony within each historical period, describing how such works fit into the lives of composers and audiences of the time, recognizing that they do not exist in a vacuum but rather as the products of numerous external forces spurring their creation. The text proceeds chronologically in three parts, drawing connections between musical examples across regions and eras: the classical symphony, the romantic symphony and the symphony in the modern era. Within this broad chronology--from the earliest Italian symphonies of the 18th century to the most experimental works of the 20th century--discussion of the development of the genre often breaks down along national lines that outline divergent but parallel paths of stylistic growth. In consideration of what is and is not a symphony, musical developments in other genres are presented as they relate to the symphony, genres such as the serenade, the tone poem, and the concert overture."--page i.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 784.18409 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList
