CD-ROM)
This book sets out a contemporary perspective on music education,
highlighting complex intersections between informal, non-formal and
formal practices and contexts. At a time when the boundaries
between music learning and participation are increasingly blurred,
this volume is distinctive in challenging a 'siloed' approach to
understanding the diverse international music education landscape.
Instead, the book proposes a multi-layered continuum of practices
that can be applied across a range of formal, informal or
non-formal concepts to support the development of musical possible
selves. It challenges existing conceptions of learning in music
education in part by drawing on research in adult learning, but
also by considering the contexts in which learning takes place, and
the extent to which this learning can be classified as formal,
informal or non-formal.
Each piece in the Solo Books coordinates page-by-page with the
Lesson Books, reinforcing newly learned concepts presented at the
lesson. Includes adorable full-color illustrations that enhance
each piece.
Mozart's emergence as a mature artist coincides with the rise to
prominence of the piano, an instrument that came alive under his
fingers and served as medium for many of his finest compositions.
In Mozart's Piano Music, William Kinderman reconsiders common
assumptions about Mozart's life and art while offering
comprehensive and incisive commentary on the solo music and
concertos. After placing Mozart's pianistic legacy in its larger
biographical and cultural context, Kinderman addresses the lively
gestural and structural aspects of Mozart's musical language and
explores the nature of his creative process. Incorporating the most
recent research throughout this encompassing study, Kinderman
expertly surveys each of the major genres of the keyboard music,
including the four-hand and two-piano works. Beyond examining
issues such as Mozart's earliest childhood compositions, his
musical rhetoric and expression, the social context of his Viennese
concertos, and affinities between his piano works and operas,
Kinderman's main emphasis falls on detailed discussion of selected
individual compositions.
