商品簡介
Pierrot Lunaire is a fascinating work that reflects the undercurrents of its time while somehow speaking to modern readers and viewers. It is complex textually, musically and structurally, and recently scholars have taken steps to examine it in detail. Taken from an international colloquium in October 2002, these papers examine all 21 parts of the Pierrot Lunaire "cycle" as both music and literature. Contributors examine the work's historical contexts in the eighteenth century, analyze its composition, especially in its use of text and its relationship with music, test its form as a cycle, and describe the work's reception over time. Papers are written in French, English, and German. Distributed by the David Brown Book Company. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
