We make or listen to music for the powerful effect it has on our emotions, and we can't imagine our lives without music. Yet we tend to know nothing about the intricate networks that neurons create throughout our brains to make music possible. The Musical Brain explores fascinating discoveries about the brain and music, often told through the stories of musicians whose lives have been impacted by the extraordinary ability of our brains to learn and adapt. Svard relates neuroscientific research in how the brain processes music in a practical way to those individuals who make or teach music.

Leokadiya Kashperova's romantic compositions were highly regarded by Rimsky-Korsakov, César Cui, and by Balakirev whose works she premiered and recorded. In 1907, Kashperova performed her own compositions to critical acclaim in Leipzig, Berlin and London. After the 1917 Revolution following her death in 1940, her name joined her fine music in historical anonymity and oblivion. This Element is the result of twenty years' research culminating in eight study-visits by the author to St Petersburg, Moscow and the Yaroslavl/Kostroma region. The Biography (section 1) is the first ever written about this composer. Kashperova's Memoirs (section 2) and her Recollections of Anton Rubinstein (section 3) are made available in translation for the first time. Together with a new edition of her compositions (Boosey & Hawkes, London) this Element aims to support the restoration of Kashperova to her rightful place in music history as Russia's foremost female composer of the early twentieth century.

"What is serialism? Defended by enthusiastic champions and decried by horrified detractors, serialism was central to twentieth-century art music, but riven, too, by inherent contradictions. The term can be a synonym for dodecaphony, Arnold Schoenberg's 'method of composing with twelve tones which are related only to one another'. It can be more expansive, describing ways of composing systematically with parameters beyond pitch -duration, dynamic, and more - and can even stand as a sort of antonym to dodecaphony: 'Schoenberg is Dead', as Pierre Boulez once insisted. Stretched to its limits, it can describe approaches where sound can be divided into discrete parameters and later recombined to generate the new, the unexpected, beginning to blur into a further antonym, post-serialism. This Companion introduces and embraces serialism in all its dimensions and contradictions, from Schoenberg and Stravinsky to Stockhausen and Babbitt, and explores its variants and legacies in Europe, the Americas and Asia"--

Various modes of women's contemporary cultural, social and political leadership can be found in music. Informed by different histories and culturally bound social mores but also by a comparative perspective, the contributors of this volume ask what can be considered leadership in culture from women's point of view. They deconstruct the notion of leadership as corporative and career-related modes of success by showing how women's agency, power and negotiation in and through music can and should be considered as empowering, transformative and role-modeling. By interweaving several disciplinary perspectives - from ethnomusicology, musicology and cultural management to sociology and anthropology - this volume aims to substantially contribute to the study of women's leadership.

Engaging Cultural Ideologies offers a recontextualization of the effects of Poland's cultural practices, especially those concerning issues such as nationalism, elitism, and race, on the genesis and performance of contemporary Polish compositions from 1918 to 1956. Based on extensive archival research that includes the first comprehensive examination of concert programs in Poland as well as a series of case studies focused on composers' challenges in the midst of nearly constant turmoil, Bylander brings fresh insights into the public and private power struggles concerning artistic freedom that were animated by similar points of contention across seemingly diverse historical eras.

Coronations are the grandest of all state occasions. This is the first comprehensive in-depth study of the music that was performed at British coronations from 1603 to the present, encompassing the sixteen coronations that have taken place in Westminster Abbey and the last two Scottish coronations. Range describes how music played a crucial role at the coronations and how the practical requirements of the ceremonial proceedings affected its structure and performance. The programme of music at each coronation is reconstructed, accompanied by a wealth of transcriptions of newly discovered primary source material, revealing findings that lead to fresh conclusions about performance practices. The coronation ceremonies are placed in their historical context, including the political background and the concept of invented traditions. The study is an invaluable resource not only for musicologists and historians, but also for performers, providing a fascinating insight into the greatest of all Royal events.

Das Handbuch zeichnet die Tendenzen des Umgangs mit "Alter Musik" heute und in der Vergangenheit nach und informiert konkret und detailreich über die verschiedenen Richtungen der Historischen Aufführungspraxis. Es betrachtet typische Erscheinungsformen der Szene, analysiert das Verhältnis zwischen Musikforschung und Musikbetrieb und nimmt die sozialen Bedingungen von Musikern in den Blick. Ergänzt werden die von renommierten internationalen Autorinnen und Autoren verfassten Sachkapitel durch 14 Interviews mit Leitfiguren der Alte Musik-Szene u.a. Jordi Savall, Katharina Bäuml, Christophe Rousset, René Jacobs oder Dorothee Oberlinger. Anfangs eine Sache weniger Spezialisten, wurde das Musizieren auf historischen Instrumenten und mit historischen Spielweisen in den 1970er- und 1980er-Jahren zu einer Bewegung mit kulturpolitischen Implikationen und ist heute selbstverständlicher Bestandteil des Musiklebens. Die Szene ist mittlerweile auch durch Pragmatismus, vor allem aber durch dieSuche nach künstlerischen Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten der ganz überwiegend freien Ensembles geprägt. So hat die Historische Aufführungspraxis z. B. zu einer Renaissance der Barockoper an den Bühnen geführt, eine neue Kultur des Improvisierens und Arrangierens befördert, das Ziel einer Erweiterung des Repertoires für Alte Musik bis ins 19. Jahrhundert hinein verfolgt, Techniken der Rekonstruktion nicht schriftlich überlieferter Musik erarbeitet und Grenzüberschreitungen zu andern Musikgenres betrieben. All dies kommt in diesem Handbuch anschaulich zur Sprache.

Als Gründungsmitglied der CoBrA-Gruppe gehörte Karel Appel einer der wichtigsten europäischen Nachkriegs-Avantgarden an, als Maler der Nouvelle École de Paris feierte er in den 1950er Jahren erste Erfolge. Zwischen New York und Paris pendelnd, suchte er zeitlebens die künstlerische Konfrontation mit dem Unbekannten: ein ungewohnter Stil, ein besonderes Motiv, der Wechsel zwischen Skulptur und Malerei. Das Buch dokumentiert drei sehr verschiedene Ausstellungen mit Werken Appels, die in den Galerien Max Hetzler Berlin und London zwischen 2020 und 2022 zu sehen waren. Die jüngste Schau zeigte den Einfluss von Appels erstem Besuch in New York: Hier fand er einerseits zur Aktionsmalerei, als deren Höhepunkt sein wandfüllendes, über Nacht vor Ort gemaltes Bild für die Documenta 1964 vertreten ist, andererseits nahm er das .u.erst akademische Sujet der Aktmalerei auf ganz und gar unakademische Weise auf. Im Zentrum des Buchs steht dann eine retrospektive Auswahl des dreidimensionalen Werks von Bronze und Terracotta-Arbeiten über Objektmalereien bis zu absurd-poetischen Assemblagen karnevalistischer Fundstücke. Zuletzt kehrte Appel in überdimensionalen Zeichnungen und expressionistischen Gemälden der 1980er und '90er Jahrezum Akt-Thema zurück. So folgt das Buch drei Linien mit vielen Verzweigungen durch ein OEuvre von 60 Jahren, in dem es noch viel zu entdecken gibt.In Zusammenarbeit mit Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin | Paris | London

Listening, Belonging, and Memory puts connected listening at the center of current debates around whose voices might be listened to, who by, and why. Arguing that listening has to be understood in relation to the self, nation, age, witnessing, and memory, it uses examples from digital storytelling, listening projects, and critical media analysis to highlight connections between listening and power. It centers on voices, stories, and silence, how they interweave, and are activated, maneuvered, reconfigured, and denied. It focuses on the small, microengagementsthat crouch within the superstructures of violent border control and the censorious policing of sonic citizenry, identifying cracks in the reshuffling of histories and hierarchies that connected listening affords.

This volume examines the use of Black popular culture to engage, reflect, and parse social justice, arguing that Black popular culture is more than merely entertainment.
