Situating Stravinsky in new intellectual and musical contexts, the essays in this volume shed valuable light on one of the most important composers of the twentieth century. Contributors examine Stravinsky's interaction with Spanish and Latin American modernism, rethink the stylistic label "neoclassicism" with a section on the ideological conflict over his lesser-known opera buffa Mavra, and reassess his connections to his homeland, paying special attention to Stravinsky's visit to the Soviet Union in 1962. The essays also explore Stravinsky's musical and religious differences with Arthur Lourié, delve into Stravinsky's collaboration with Pyotr Suvchinsky and Roland-Manuel in the genesis of his groundbreaking Poetics of Music, and look at how the movement within stasis evident in the scores of Stravinsky's Orpheus and Oedipus Rex reflected the composer's fierce belief in fate. Rare documents--including Spanish and Mexican interviews, Russian letters, articles by Arthur Lourié, and rarely seen French and Russian texts--supplement the volume, bringing to life Stravinsky's rich intellectual milieu and intense personal relationships. The contributors are Tatiana Baranova, Leon Botstein, Jonathan Cross, Valérie Dufour, Gretchen Horlacher, Tamara Levitz, Klára Móricz, Leonora Saavedra, and Svetlana Savenko.Bard Music Festival series.ComposersBiographyElectronic books.Composers780.92Levitz Tamara, Levitz Tamara1048716MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453081103321Stravinsky and his world2477177UNINA03419nam 2200625 a 450 991095732760332120250326184915.0978129918468812991846859789004244771900424477810.1163/9789004244771(CKB)2670000000333896(EBL)1128368(OCoLC)829461152(SSID)ssj0000832850(PQKBManifestationID)11443002(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000832850(PQKBWorkID)10935232(PQKB)10789541(MiAaPQ)EBC1128368(OCoLC)828627258(nllekb)BRILL9789004244771(PPN)174396104(EXLCZ)99267000000033389620121130d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCharlemagne's early campaigns (768-777) a diplomatic and military analysis /by Bernard S.

The neglect of Charlemagne's campaigns and the diplomacy that undergirded them has truncated our understanding of the creation of the Carolingian empire and the great success enjoyed by its leader, who ranks with Frederick the Great and Napoleon among Europe's best. The critical deployment here of the numerous narrative and documentary sources combined with the systematic use of the immense corpus of archaeological evidence, much of which the result of excavations undertaken since World War II, is applied here, in detail, for the first time in order to broaden our understanding of Charlemagne's military strategy and campaign tactics. Charlemagne and his advisers emerge as very careful planners, with a thorough understanding of Roman military thinking, who were dedicated to the use of overwhelming force in order to win whenever possible without undertaking bloody combat. Charlemagne emerges from this study, to paraphrase a observation attributed to Scipio Africanus, as a military commander and not a warrior.History of Warfare82.Military art and scienceEuropeHistoryTo 1500Military history, MedievalMilitary art and scienceHistoryMilitary history, Medieval.944/.0142Bachrach Bernard S.1939-2023.1800580MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957327603321Charlemagne's early campaigns (768-777)4347454UNINA
