Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

So fierce was once the conflict between the classical and romantic schools of art and literature, that the former was popularly regarded as exclusively concerned with manner and form; the latter, as dogmatically devoted to the subject-matter regardless of structural laws. In the light of subsequent research and in the calm of impartiality we find that the truly great men of the classical school possessed romantic qualities, while the masters of romanticism were keenly sensitive to the essentials of form. In reviewing the merits of a work of art there is such a strong temptation to fall into a recounting of ones prejudices or rehearsing ones preferences that a recent writer claims that criticism is frequently merely a criticism of the opinions of others, rather than an original estimate of a given phenomenon. I ndeed, Anatole France argues that all criticism must be subjective, and the candid man can only say, I will now talk to you about myself with reference to Shakespeare, Pascal, Voltaire, etc. If we accept this dictum, we must despair of attaining aught else than a mere personal impression of a given work. Possibly the nearest approach to a fixed criterion, or standard of objective criticism, might be obtained by means of a species of spiritual triangulation; a sort of soulsurvey from different altitudes. Various brilliant literary productions dealing with Poland scomposer from a biographical, pianistic or aesthetic standpoint, have graced the tables of the music-loving world from time to time.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the music of a Polish composer, whose originality and charm are undeniable. The author argues that the composer's genius extends beyond his beautiful melodies and harmonies to a sophisticated understanding of musical structure. The book delves into the composer's use of national folk music, specifically mazurkas and polonaises, demonstrating how he incorporated traditional modes and rhythms into his works. The author also examines the composer's unique approach to harmony, influenced by his mastery of counterpoint and his use of the newly developed piano, an instrument that allowed for greater complexity and expression. This book presents a fresh perspective on the composer's work, unveiling the innovative structural principles that underpin his seemingly effortless creations. The author's careful analysis reveals the intellectual foundation of the composer's genius, solidifying his place among music's greatest innovators. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330296769_0
