Beschreibung

In "Chapters of Opera," Henry Edward Krehbiel meticulously dissects the evolution of operatic art, offering readers an engaging exploration of its historical and cultural significance. Written in a lyrical yet scholarly style, Krehbiel's prose intertwines analysis with anecdotal narratives, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of opera's development from its nascent forms to its grand productions. The book's rich context is anchored by Krehbiel's deep appreciation for music as a multifaceted cultural phenomenon, evidenced by his incisive comparisons of different styles and genres, alongside vivid portraits of key figures in opera history. Krehbiel, a prominent music critic and scholar of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, brought a wealth of knowledge to this work, influenced by his involvement in the American music scene and his passion for elevating the opera as an art form. His previous writings and critiques reflect his commitment to demystifying music and making it accessible to a broader audience, which aligns with his intent in "Chapters of Opera" to not only inform but also inspire a love for this sophisticated genre. This book is highly recommended for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of opera or who wishes to appreciate the interplay between music and cultural history. Krehbiel's insightful analysis and engaging narrative style make it an essential read for both scholars and casual enthusiasts alike.

    Art History The Viennese Secession

    Influenced by Art Nouveau, this movement (created in 1897 by Gustav Klimt, Carl Moll, and Josef Hoffmann) was not an anonymous artistic revolution. Defining itself as a “total art”, without any political or commercial constraint, the Viennese Secession represented the ideological turmoil that affected craftsmen, architects, graphic artists, and designers from this period. Turning away from an established art and immersing themselves in organic, voluptuous, and decorative shapes, these artists opened themselves to an evocative, erotic aesthetic that blatantly offended the bourgeoisie of the time. Painting, sculpture, and architecture are addressed by the authors and highlight the diversity and richness of a movement whose motto proclaimed “for each time its art, for each art its liberty” – a declaration to the innovation and originality of this revolutionary art movement.
