Product Description
Daa man eine musikalische Form auberschaubaro - und nicht etwa auberhorbaro - nennt, mutet ebenso selbstverstandlich an wie der immer wieder formulierte Vergleich zwischen Musik und Architektur. Doch verbirgt sich hinter diesem Transfer optischer Kategorien auf akustisch wahrnehmbare Klangereignisse eine Traditionslinie, die bereits im 18. Jahrhundert Widerspruch hervorrief. So kritisierte Johann Gottfried Herder den von der Architektur entlehnten Formbegriff klassizistischer Autoren als Kolonialisierung des Ohrs durch das Auge - ein Gedanke, den Richard Wagner aufgreifen und gegen Eduard Hanslicks Asthetik des aMusikalisch-Schoneno verteidigen sollte. In diesem Sinne wird Wagners aunendliche Melodieo neu als Versuch interpretiert, eine aunanschaulicheo, von der Vorherrschaft des Auges weitgehend befreite Musik zu schaffen. Klang und Form treten dabei in ein Verhaltnis, das sich mit Begriffspaaren wie adionysisch/apollinischo (Nietzsche) oder aEs/Icho (Freud) verbindet und auf dieser Grundlage sogar musikdramatische Gestalt gewinnt: in Wagners Meistersingern von Nurnberg und noch am Ende der 1910er Jahre in Franz Schrekers Die Gezeichneten. ...

Excerpt: Sybille Bammer (born 27 April 1980 in Linz, Austria) is a professional female tennis player from Austria. Her career high ranking is No. 19, achieved on 17 December 2007. She is one of three mothers on the WTA Tour (Kim Clijsters and Rossana de los Ríos are the others), having taken time off at age 21 to have her daughter Tina before returning to the tour. When she won the 2007 Pattaya Women's Open, it was the first time in eighteen years that a mother won on tour, after Laura Arraya in 1989. Her daughter Tina is a frequent regular in the crowd. Bammer said of her daughter, "She is always telling other people to be quiet because Mummy is concentrating." Bammer made her WTA Tour main draw debut as a wildcard in 2000 at the Klagenfurt event. She lost to German player Andrea Glass at this event. She failed to qualify for Wimbledon, US Open and her home tournament in Linz. During 2001 she took a break from tennis to give birth to her daughter Tina. Her boyfriend Christophe Gsthwendtner took a break from his engineering career to take care of Tin...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4379928 ... Read more
