Product Description
This book contains the majority of Georges Auric's writings on music that appeared in published newspapers, literary journals and reviews. The writings are prefaced by an extensive introductory essay that provides the most detailed biographical information yet available on Auric, discusses Auric's relation to the sources in which his writings appeared, and places Auric in the continuum of French composer/critics of the twentieth century. Auric is revealed as an intellectual figure of importance and as a man who made enormous contributions both literary and musical to the French patrimony. This study, which includes over five hundred articles contained in more than forty-five different sources, shows Auric to have been an active writer of music criticism from 1913, when he was only fourteen, to the 1950s, when his career took a sharp turn toward arts administration, and demands on his writing music for films increased dramatically. The erudition exhibited in these writings shows Auric to have been extremely well versed in literature, music and the politics of music, and the arts in general.It is hoped that this extensive collection of his writings will help restore Auric to the important position in French musical circles that he earned. ...

Excerpt: Éric Alfred Leslie Satie (Honfleur, 17 May 1866 Paris, 1 July 1925) was a French composer and pianist. Starting with his first composition in 1884, he signed his name as Erik Satie. Satie was introduced as a "gymnopedist" in 1887, shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopédies. Later, he also referred to himself as a "phonometrician" (meaning "someone who measures sounds") preferring this designation to that of "musician", after having been called "a clumsy but subtle technician" in a book on contemporary French composers published in 1911. In addition to his body of music, Satie also left a remarkable set of writings, having contributed work for a range of publications, from the dadaist 391 to the American top culture chronicle Vanity Fair. Although in later life he prided himself on always publishing his work under his own name, in the late nineteenth century he appears to have used pseudonyms such as Virginie Lebeau and François de Paule in some of his published writings. Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd. Erik Satie's youth was spent alternating between living in Honfleur, Basse-Normandie, and Paris. When he was four years old, his family moved to Paris, his father (Alfred), having been offered a translator's job in the capital. After his mother (born Jane Leslie Anton, who was born in London to Scottish parents) died in 1872, he was sent, together with his younger brother Conrad, ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=9956 ...

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc (French pronunciation: ; January 7, 1899 - January 30, 1963) was a French composer and a member of the French group Les Six. He composed music in genres including art song, solo piano music, chamber music, oratorio, opera, ballet music, and orchestral music. Critic Claude Rostand, in a July 1950 Paris-Presse article, described Poulenc as "half monk, half delinquent" ("le moine et le voyou"), a tag that was to be attached to his name for the rest of his career. Poulenc was born in Paris in 1899. His mother, an amateur pianist, taught him to play and music formed a part of family life. He was a capable pianist and the keyboard dominated his early compositions. He borrowed from his own compositions as well as those of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Camille Saint-Saëns. Later in his life, the loss of close friends, coupled with a pilgrimage to the Black Madonna of Rocamadour, led him to rediscover the Roman Catholic faith and resulted in compositions of a more sombre, austere tone. Poulenc was a member of Les Six, a loose-knit group of young French and Swiss composers (it also included Milhaud, Auric, Durey, Honegger and Tailleferre) who had links with Erik Satie, Jean Hugo and Jean Cocteau. He embraced the Dada movement's techniques, creating melodies that would have challenged what was considered appropriate for Parisian music halls. He was identified with this group before he undertook his first formal musical training, with Charles Koechlin in 1921. Poulenc was a featured pianist in recordings, including some of his own songs (with Pierre Bernac, recorded in 1947; and Rose Dercourt) and the Concerto for Two Pianos (recorded in May 1957). He supervised the 1961 world premiere recording of his Gloria, which was conducted by Georges Prêtre. His recordings were released by RCA Victor and EMI. Poulenc's Perpetual Motion No. 1 (1918) is used in Alfred Hitchcock's Rope...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Reconnu comme un maître de l'orchestration et un artisan perfectionniste, cet homme à la personnalité complexe ne s'est jamais départi d'une sensibilité et d'une expressivité qui, selon Le Robert, lui firent évoquer dans son œuvre à la fois « les jeux les plus subtils de l'intelligence » et « les épanchements les plus secrets du cœur ».
