| Ticià RIERA, pianist and music teacher. A life dedicated to music |
Original title: Evolució de l’art musical: Història, estils i formes. Author: Ticià Riera |
Evolución del arte musical based on the latest scientific-musical research, traces music from prehistoric to modern times. It is both a popularizing work and a reference book where the reader can find details about each period, author, style, musical form, etc. In this work the music lover can find exceptional details (unusual in books of popular appeal), such as the origins of music in Prehistory or the importance of the fact that both Cabanilles and Elias used tonal structure long before J.S.Bach (this is demonstrated by scores), etc. Place-names have been updated, taking into consideration the changes which have occurred in Europe in recent years. Thus, the reader can find both the new and the old name of a town or region which helps to situate the biography of a musician. This is the first book of its kind in dealing with the main musical nationalistic styles present in Spain (Andalusian, Basque, Catalan and Galician) - aspects which are usually overlooked by other authors. The book comprises 499 pages, a great number of footnotes that help to clarify even the most specialized concepts, a biographical outline of 146 composers and an appendix with 32 pictures (there are also other pictures in the text). | |||
