4.9/5 (23731 ratings)

Description:Music Musique is a study of American and French composers active from the late 19th through the early 20th centuries and the influence of jazz on their compositional styles. Starting with a look at the formation of American and French styles of composition, Meister discusses the jazz influence on American composers such as Ives, Copland and Seeger, and their reception in France. She then takes a parallel look at the jazz influence on prominent French composers such as Ravel, Milhaud and Messiaen, with a conclusion that briefly outlines post--World War II musical developments.Considerable attention is paid to the social and political worlds in which these artists lived and created. Of particular interest is the influence of Afro-American jazz musicians who settled in Paris after World War I on Ravel, Milhaud, Satie and other artists with New Orleans--based styles. Meister also discusses the more famous coteries of American writers who lived and worked in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. The stories of these two groups of Americans in Paris form a fascinating background to the main topic of the book.Music Musique is intended for amateurs and experts alike; it provides ideas about repertoire as well as information about compositions that are likely to be heard in performance. The emphasis of the text is always on the piano solo literature or other piano music -- song accompaniments, piano duets or internal orchestral piano parts.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
