Spanning the gap between the supernatural Russian music of the nineteenth century and the compositions of Prokofiev and Stravinsky, this exceptionally insightful and well-researched book explores how Russian symbolist poets interpreted opera and prompted operatic innovation. Simon Morrison shows how these works, though stylistically and technically different, reveal the extent to which the operatic representation of the miraculous can be translated into its enactment.Morrison treats these largely unstudied pieces by canonical composers: Tchaikovsky's Queen of Spades, Rimsky-Korsakov's Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevroniya, Scriabin's unfinished Mysterium, and Prokofiev's Fiery Angel. The chapters, revisionist studies of these composers and scores, address separate aspects of Symbolist poetics, discussing such topics as literary and musical decadence, pagan-Christian syncretism, theurgy, and life creation, or the portrayal of art in life. The appendix offers the first complete English-language translation of Scriabin's libretto for the Preparatory Act.Providing valuable insight into both the Symbolist enterprise and Russian musicology, this book casts new light on opera's evolving, ambiguous place in fin de siècle culture.California studies in 20th-century music ;2.OperaRussia (Federation)20th centurySymbolism (Literary movement)Russia (Federation)History20th centuryElectronic books.OperaSymbolism (Literary movement)History782.1/092/247Morrison Simon Alexander1964-1032355MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454790603321Russian opera and the symbolist movement2450152UNINA01662nam 2200529 450 991015464090332120200520144314.00-7456-9299-00-7456-9476-4(CKB)3710000000892317(MiAaPQ)EBC4697996(JP-MeL)3000112295(Au-PeEL)EBL4697996(CaPaEBR)ebr11271926(OCoLC)960165446(EXLCZ)99371000000089231720151103h20162016 uy| 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierPhilosophy of nature /Paul Feyerabend ; edited with an introduction by Helmut Heit and Eric Oberheim ; translated by Dorothea Lotter with assistance from Andrew CrossEnglish edition.Malden, MA :Polity,[2016]20161 online resource (283 pages) illustrationsOriginally published: Frankfurt am Main : Suhrkamp, c2009Includes bibliographical references (p. 235-249) and index0-7456-5160-7 0-7456-5159-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Philosophy of naturePhilosophy of nature.113112njb/09113njb/09Feyerabend Paul1924-1994,45134Lotter DorotheaCross AndrewMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154640903321Philosophy of nature3431263UNINA
