5.0 out of 5 stars An important contribution to academic music reference, Feb 13 2001
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Philosopher's Stone: Essays in the Transformation of Musical Structure (Hardcover)
In The Philosopher's Stone: Essays In The Transformation Of Music Structure, Barbara Berry presents intriguing commentaries on a spectrum of classical music in four major sections. Dialects of Form in Nineteenth Century Music (Image and Imagination in Schumann's G. Minor Sonata; Dialectical Structure in Action: The Scherzo of Beethoven's F Major Razoumovsky Quartet Reconsidered; Reciprocity and Reconstruction: The Hidden Program in Mahier's Fifth Symphony); Mozart Through the Looking Class (The Spider's Stratagem: The Motif of Masking in Don Giovanni; Debt and Transfiguration: Mozart's 'Haydn' quartets by Way of Haydn's Op. 33; Inversional Symmetry in The Magic Flute); Beethoven Studies (Pitch Interpretation and Cyclical Procedures in Middle-Period Beethoven; Teleology and Structural Determinants in Beethoven's C-Sharp Minor Quartet, Op. 131; Recycling the End of the Leibquartet: Models, Meaning and Propriety in Beethoven's Quartet in B-Flat Major, Opus 130); Cyclical Form: The Retracing of a Journey ('Sehnsucht' and Melancholy: Explorations of Time and Structure in Schubert's Winterreise; Eternal Return in Das Lied von der Erde; Stockhausen's "plus-Minus": Autobiography as Criticism in the Comet's Tail of the Avant-Garde). An important contribution to academic music reference and library collections, Barry's informative, scholarly, erudite commentaries highly recommended reading for students of classical music and music history.
