A monumental accomplishment from the age of Enlightenment, the
string quartets of Joseph Haydn hold a central place not only in
the composer's oeuvre, but also in our modern conception of form,
style, and expression in the instrumental music of his day. Here,
renowned music historians Floyd and Margaret Grave present a fresh
perspective on a comprehensive survey of the works. This thorough
and unique analysis offers new insights into the creation of the
quartets, the wealth of musical customs and conventions on which
they draw, the scope of their innovations, and their significance
as reflections of Haydn's artistic personality. Each set of
quartets is characterized in terms of its particular mix of
structural conventions and novelties, stylistic allusions, and its
special points of connection with other opus groups in the series.
Throughout the book, the authors draw attention to the boundless
supply of compositional strategies by which Haydn appears to be
continually rethinking, reevaluating, and refining the quartet's
potentials. They also lucidly describe Haydn's famous penchant for
wit, humor, and compositional artifice, illuminating the unexpected
connections he draws between seemingly unrelated ideas, his irony,
and his lightning bolts of surprise and thwarted expectation.
Approaching the quartets from a variety of vantage points, the
authors correct many prevailing assumptions about convention,
innovation, and developing compositional technique in the music of
Haydn and his contemporaries.
Going beyond traditional modes of study, The String Quartets of
Joseph Haydn blends historical analysis and factual information
with critical appraisal in a way that will engage all Haydn
enthusiasts.

Music through the Ages Volume 1
This is the first book to address the full range of performance
issues for the cello from the Baroque to the early Romantic period.
The development of playing techniques and stylistic transitions are
traced regionally through a comparison of Italian, French, German,
English, and East European performance traits. Through a close
study of contemporary violoncello methods, music, early
instruments, periodicals, diaries, letters and pictures, Walden
provides a cohesive overview which examines construction methods
for instruments and bows, fingering and bowing techniques, special
effects and ornamentation, accompanying skills and the stylistic
preferences of the most famous soloists. Richly illustrated with
over 300 music examples, plates and figures, this book provides
playing instructions which can easily be applied by modern players
to their own performance of period music.
