Collection of critical and analytical scholarly essays on the music
of Ravel by prominent scholars. Unmasking Ravel: New Perspectives
on the Music fills a unique place in Ravel studies by combining
critical interpretation and analytical focus. From the premiere of
his works up to the present, Ravel has been associated with masks
and the related notions of artifice and imposture. This has led
scholars to perceive a lack of depth in his music and,
consequently, to discourage investigation of his musical language.
This volume balances and interweavesthese modes of inquiry. Part 1,
"Orientations and Influences," illuminates the sometimes
contradictory aesthetic, biographical, and literary strands
comprising Ravel's artistry and our understanding of it. Part 2,
"Analytical Case Studies," engages representative works from
Ravel's major genres using a variety of methodologies, focusing on
structural process and his complex relation to stylistic
convention. Part 3, "Interdisciplinary Studies," integratesmusical
analysis and art criticism, semiotics, and psychoanalysis in
creating novel methodologies. Contributors include prominent
scholars of Ravel's and fin-de-siecle music: Elliott Antokoletz,
Gurminder Bhogal, Sigrun B. Heinzelmann, Volker Helbing, Steven
Huebner, Peter Kaminsky, Barbara Kelly, David Korevaar, Daphne
Leong, Michael Puri, and Lauri Suurpaa. Peter Kaminsky is Professor
of Music at the University of Connecticut, Storrs.
