Frederick the Great and his Musicians: The Viola da Gamba Music of the Berlin School

Frederick the Great and his Musicians: The Viola da Gamba Music of the Berlin School

After decades of stagnation during the reign of his father, the 'Barracks King', the performing arts began to flourish in Berlin under Frederick the Great. Even before his coronation in 1740, the crown prince commenced recruitment of a group of musician-composers who were to form the basis of a brilliant court ensemble. Several composers, including C.P.E. Bach and the Graun brothers, wrote music for the viola da gamba, an instrument which was already becoming obsolete elsewhere. They were encouraged in this endeavour by the presence in the orchestra from 1741 of Ludwig Christian Hesse, one of the last gamba virtuosi, who was described in 1766 as 'unquestionably the finest gambist in Europe'. This study shows how the unique situation in Berlin produced the last major corpus of music written for the viola da gamba, and how the more virtuosic works were probably the result of close collaboration between Hesse and the Berlin School composers. The reader is also introduced to the more approachable pieces which were written and arranged for amateur viol players, including the king's nephew and ultimate successor, Frederick William II. O'Loghlin argues that the aesthetic circumstances which prevailed in Berlin brought forth a specific style that is reflected not only in the music for viola da gamba. Characteristics of this Berlin style are identified with reference to a broad selection of original written sources, many of which are hardly accessible to English-speaking readers. There is also a discussion of the rather contradictory reception history of the Berlin School and some of its composers. The book concludes with a complete thematic catalogue of the Berlin gamba music, with a listing of original manuscript sources and modern publications. The book will appeal to professional and amateur viola da gamba players as well as to scholars of eighteenth-century German music.

*Includes pictures. *Includes a bibliography for further reading. "Her instinct, her mastery over the machine, was pure witchcraft. I cannot analyze this woman's acting. I only know that no one else so effectively worked in front of a camera." - Bette Davis Of all the great movie stars, there may be none more enigmatic than Greta Garbo, who remains internationally famous despite the fact her life and career raise more questions than answers. How did a Swedish actress with very little film acting experience in her native land arrive in the United States and achieve instant stardom? Most actresses had to wait years before they were offered starring roles in major films, yet Garbo was ushered to the front of the line and perched atop the MGM pantheon at a time in which it was the studio par excellence. How was she able to transition from silent films to "talkies" so fluidly, giving many of her most decorated performances during the 1930s? While stars like Charlie Chaplin never recovered from cinema's transition to synchronized sound, Garbo flourished, which is made all the more amazing by the fact she had a foreign accent that could easily have alienated American audiences and threatened her career. Finally, and perhaps most mystifying of all, why would Garbo retire in 1941, at just 36 years of age and two years removed from Ninotchka, arguably her most acclaimed film? As unique as Greta Garbo and her career were, there is no denying the impact that she had on audiences, both critics and working-class viewers. Not only was she the most lucrative star in the country by 1928, she also provoked awe from some of the most venerable film and cultural theorists, who attempted to articulate exactly what it was about her that proved so arresting (Swenson). Writing about her in a famous essay devoted to her face, Roland Barthes asserted, "Garbo still belongs to that moment in cinema when capturing the human face still plunged audiences into the deepest ecstasy, when one literally lose oneself in a human image as one would in a philtre, when the face represented a kind of absolute state of the flesh, which could be neither reached nor renounced. A few years earlier the face of Valentino was causing suicides; that of Garbo still partakes of the same rule of Courtly Love, where the flesh gives rise to mystical feelings of perdition." Barthes' description hints at how Garbo's face was the primary attraction of her films, to the point that she achieved a spellbinding influence that made her one of the true goddesses of film history. At the same time, for as famous as Greta Garbo is as an actress, her films are not remembered so positively, if they are remembered at all. While Garbo herself was nominated on three occasions for the Academy Award for Best Actress, only one film of hers, Grand Hotel (1932), was even nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. For the most part, Garbo acted in films that were seemingly well beneath her, which was certainly the case with her films from the silent era. During the late 1920s, for example, she was routinely paired with leading man John Gilbert, yet out of the films they appeared in together - Flesh and the Devil (1926), Love (1927), A Woman of Affairs (1928), and Queen Christina (1933) - only the latter is well-remembered today. Even the first film for which she was nominated for an Oscar, Romance (1930), is commemorated only by Garbo's most fervent admirers. Ironically enough, it was just as Garbo neared the end of her career that she was just beginning to star in more critically revered films, movies such as Anna Karenina (1935), Camille (1936), and most of all, Ninotchka (1939). Legends of Hollywood: The Life and Legacy of Greta Garbo explores the life and career of Greta Garbo, analyzing her fame and how a notably shy young girl rose to the top of Hollywood.

Somewhere between East Railway Station and Obor Marketplace. Short storiesThis book is in Romanian. It is a collection of autobiographical short stories written by highly praised writer Ion Bogdan Martin, a member of The Writers' Union of Romania.Această ediţie a cărţii este publicată special pentru rom nii din diaspora.Citiţi cărţi n limba rom nă Veţi fi mai aproape de casă, de ţară.Comandaţi cartea de pe site-ul Amazon corespunzător ţării n care locuiţi şi nu veţi plăti transportul internaţional.Scriitorul şi criticul literar Horia G rbea prezintă cartea Undeva, ntre Gara de Est şi Piaţa Obor de Ion Bogdan Martin astfel: Amintirile romanţate cu care ne răsfaţă şi ne provoacă Ion Bogdan Martin au acel parfum al autenticităţii pe care numai scriitorii rafinaţi ştiu să-l conserve. Pe de altă parte, simţim că, dacă faptele nu stau chiar aşa cum le descrie autorul, mereu la persoana I, ceva-ceva totuşi s-a nt mplat, similar sau aproape identic. Ar fi minunat ca prozatorul nostru, care este şi un excelent dramaturg, de unde simţul replicii, al dialogului viu, să fie n stare să inventeze, cu de la el putere aceste păţanii, majoritatea nostime.Nu vom şti niciodată c tă ficţiune este n fiecare dintre fragmentele care iau forma unor schiţe finite, cu final şi poantă dar fără vreo odioasă morală. Şi desigur nu prea contează. Important e că autorul lor, cu un deosebit simţ al umorului şi cu eleganţa de a fi mereu auto-ironic, le pune n scenă cu acel simţ dramatic care-i este propriu şi n comedii.Ion Bogdan Martin e totuşi departe de v rsta amintirilor şi, din fericire, ne putem aştepta să valorifice mult mai t rziu alte momente trăite n prezentul imediat. Ceea ce mi se pare important n aceste „momente," n care umbra lui I. L. Caragiale este mereu vizibilă, este că, n jurul naratorului-personaj se ncheag㠄o lume" cu eroi şi anti-eroi, nt mplări banale şi pilduitoare ori senzaţionale dar virate n absurd, cu destule anecdote spumoase dar uşurele contrapunctate din fericire şi de momente de gravitate.Povestitorul este mereu n ofensivă, mim nd cel mai adesea cinismul. El are nsă un fond liric ce se zăreşte adesea şi care-i conferă sensibilitate mai presus de a unui umorist de ocazie care glisează din gag n gag. Tocmai acest lirism dă greutate textelor şi ne asigură că, Ion Bogdan Martin e un artist, comediograf desigur, dar nu bufon.Ca n faţa fiecărui volum n care l-am nt lnit pe Ion Bogdan Martin şi despre care, n majoritate am scris, salut cu prietenia şi ncrederea dintotdeauna, reuşita sa şi mă bucur că m-am putut delecta ncă o dată - primul după autor - cu proza lui vie şi hazlie. Vă invit alături de el, de autor, şi de ea, de proză. Horia G rbea

Slammed by fate and avarice, Olive Oglevee (A.K.A. Double O) is reduced to living in A Thousand Joys, a rundown resident hotel squatting on a corner deep in the wrong end of town. To supplement her social Security, she cleans the hotel and is mentor, teacher, and deputy mother to Greta Garbo Katsunori, the ten year old daughter of Divine Mother, owner and benign despot of the hotel. Things take a tentative turn for the better when Olive inherits the Lincoln Letters, six letters that Lincoln wrote to General Grant during the Civil War. The problem is the letters have been missing for over sixty years. Desperate for money, Olive investigates and learns that the letters were put in a time capsule and buried in the common of a town that no longer exists. She engages in more sleuthing, and during a raging thunderstorm, digs up the capsule. She lugs it back to the hotel, opens it, and discovers that the elements have turned the letters into a fetid mush. There are, however, three items that were not listed as being in the capsule: A gold headed hammer, six brass tokens, each with a clue to a puzzle, and a key case with several keys and a paper with cryptic numbers on it. Goaded on by Greta, and with Greta's lethal canine bodyguards in tow, they set out to solve the mystery of the three unlisted items and encounter murder, terror, and dubious justice.
