Chronologically arranged, the book covers some 25,000 years of cultural history. It starts with the whirring bones and clay drums of the Stone Age and concludes with the chance music and electronic synthesizers of the modern era. The reader is carried along in a grand sweep, from the magical-sacred beginnings of music, the primitive pipe and "bull-roarer," through the instruments of antiquity, the experiments of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the refined instruments of the Baroque and classical periods, down to those of the Romantic age and its aftermath, including the music of our own day. The author introduces each chapter with an account of the musical forms and artistic trends of the period, before considering in detail the instruments that gave them expression. By relating the instruments to their time and to each other, he sheds fresh light on each instrument's evolution, enabling readers to follow its ups and downs against the changing background of taste and fashion. Most of the plates are taken from contemporary originals and represent instruments in players' hands, and not merely as lifeless pieces of wood or brass. An appendix on the acousticsv of music rounds out the book. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
