Harper aims to provide readers with a deeper, more accurate
understanding of Falla's creative process by drawing from a
complete array of rare, authentic sources including Falla's own
personal library, valuable sketch material, and the more than
20,000 pieces of correspondence maintained in Granada, Spain by the
Manuel de Falla Archive. The book is arranged in three sections.
The first part of the book, organized according to Falla's
geographical stays, attempts to clarify certain aspects of Falla's
life that have to date been ambiguous or unknown. The second
section engages various prominent aspects of Falla's character,
such as his relationship with his European contemporaries. In this
second section, significant collaborations with prestigious Falla
specialists - Louis Jambou, Michael Christofordis, and Chris
Collins - have greatly enhanced the dimension of the topics
addressed. The book's final section attempts to introduce readers
to the most recent information available. It is generously
illustrated with manuscript examples and is organized according to
the stylistic classifications of the Manuel de Falla Archive's
Musical Director, which greatly assist in clarifying the
development of Falla's creative process. A chronologically-arranged
photo section rounds out this offering that will be of great
significance to music students and teachers, as well as those with
an interest in Spanish culture.
The Performing Pianist's Guide to Fingering, the much-anticipated
companion to Joseph Banowetz's The Pianist's Guide to Pedaling,
provides practical fingering solutions for technical musical
passages. Banowetz contends that fingering choices require much
thought and consideration and that too often these choices are
influenced by historical traditions and ideas rather than by actual
performance conditions. By returning to the unedited original
compositions, he strives to help the advanced pianist think through
the composer's musical intent and the actual performance tempo and
dynamics when selecting the fingering. Banowetz also includes
valuable contributions by Philip Fowke, who examines
redistributions by Benno Moiseiwitsch in Rachmaninoff's
compositions, and Nancy Lee Harper, who explores the often very
different approaches to fingering found in keyboard music of the
Baroque era. The Performing Pianist's Guide to Fingering will be
useful to the advanced pianist and to instructors looking to guide
students in improving this important art.
Why read Sustaining Seas? It is as simple as this: the seas sustain
all life. This edited book emerges from conversations across
several disciplines, and including practitioners of different
specialities (artists, writers, planners, policy makers) about how
to sustain the seas, as they sustain us. Sustaining Seas: Oceanic
space and the politics of care aims to build a better understanding
of what it means to care for aquatic places and their biocultural
communities. The book is truly interdisciplinary and brings
together a wide range of authors including, academics from diverse
fields (architecture, science, cultural studies, law), artists,
fisheries managers, and Indigenous Traditional Owners. It provides
readers with new theoretical framings, as well as grounded case
studies with a wide geographical and cultural breadth. This book
assumes that understanding complexity, including social, cultural,
ecological and economic interconnections, is crucial to any
solution. Sustaining the seas is one of the most pressing global
challenges for the planet and all her inhabitants. How to do
justice to this challenge is an exigency for all scholars, and how
to represent the oceans is a guiding theme in the book that is
addressed by scholars, artists, and practitioners.
