(Amadeus). Score reading provides insights into the musical
structure of a work that are difficult to obtain from merely
listening. Many listeners and amateurs derive great pleasure from
following a performance with score in hand to help them better
understand the intricacies of what they are hearing. This guide
includes practice examples of increasing difficulty taken from
scores of well-known works from various periods.
The youngest surviving son of Johann Sebastian Bach, John Christian
(born Johann, he adopted the English form of his name in maturity)
represents a unique link between the baroque and classical worlds.
His early musical training was with his father but his own musical
preferences led him to Italy and study with Padre Martini. He
abandoned the Lutheranism of his youth, becoming a Roman Catholic
and composing much sacred music as organist of Milan Cathedral. He
became Mozart's friend and mentor, having met him when the child
prodigy visited London in 1764. During his lifetime he was the most
successful of the musical Bachs, although he died deeply in debt,
and until quite recent years his music has been largely ignored.
This impeccably researched biography of the man and his times is
evidence that his true stature is now being recognized. HARDCOVER.
This is a study of Saint Saens's concertante works - five concertos
for piano, three for violin, two for cello, and shorter works.
