Description:This completely new work in two volumes provides a comprehensive introduction to the whole symphonic scene from Haydn to the present day.Robert Simpson - himself a well-known symphonist - has done more than compile programme notes of the great symphonies: he has, in his two introductions, analysed the essence of symphonic form. By identifying the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and - vitally important - tonality as all being present in full measure in any successful symphony, he has provided a frame of reference which binds together symphonists from Haydn to Holmboe, from Mozart to Martinů.His team of distinguished contributors, which includes Deryck Cooke, Hans Keller, and Hugh Ottoway, has thus been able to provide a connected, unified study of all major composers who have "attempted to achieve in an orchestral work the highest state of organization of which music is capable".We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
