Understanding Music by Antony Hopkins<\/h3>\n
In this prize-winning volume, Antony Hopkins offers an accessible and entertaining introduction to the pleasures of music. He shows how music has developed over the centuries, the ways in which it has been written, and exactly what to listen for in a wide range of musical forms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With his well-known talent for making even the most complex types of music clear to non-musicians, Hopkins begins with the basics–rhythm, harmony, and melody–and then moves on to more advanced topics, such as the key system and the principal musical forms. From preludes and fugues to sonatas, symphonies, and concertos, Hopkins provides a generous number of musical examples to demonstrate how various compositions should be interpreted.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And by analyzing representative works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, and Panufnik, he is able to show how various composers have approached their art, and how music has evolved from the eighteenth century to the present day. Also included are sections on different modes of expression throughout the ages, innovations in instruments, the meaning behind the music, the relationship between words and music in choral works, and a special chapter on approaches to three important works that have been proved especially challenging to listeners: Beethoven’s\u00a0Grosse Fuge<\/span>,\u00a0The Rite of Spring<\/span>\u00a0by Stravinsky, and Webern’s\u00a06 Bagatelles for String Quartet<\/span>. Appendices include help on more technical aspects of scores, and a ery useful glossary of musical terms.
\nThe perfect companion for listeners approaching classical music for the first time, as well as for those who wish to gain further insight into their favorite compositions,\u00a0Understanding Music<\/span>\u00a0is an essential part of any music lover’s library.<\/div>\n
