[Neumann’s] work constitutes the most fundamental reassessment of the subject in decades, and one can safely predict that it will remain the most important and influential exploration of this field for many years to come. … when all is said and done, he will undoubtedly have gained some ground for the offbeat graces, and thus introduced much more flexibility into the law of the land of ornaments. Only someone with Neumann’s conviction in the soundness of his own musical instinct could have done this, and in the final tally his book will stand as a monument to his own concept of bon goût … one fact stands out clearly after one studies Neumann’s fine book: no performer of Baroque music can afford to ignore his work.
Ornaments play an enormous role in the music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and ambiguities in their notation (as well as their frequent omission in the score) have left doubt as to how composers intended them to be interpreted. Frederick Neumann, himself a violinist and conductor, questions the validity of the rigid principles applied to their performance. In this controversial work, available for the first time in paperback, he argues that strict constraints are inconsistent with the freedom enjoyed by musicians of the period. The author takes an entirely new look at ornamentation, and particularly that of J. S. Bach. He draws on extensive research in England, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States to show that prevailing interpretations are based on inadequate evidence. These restrictive interpretations have been far-reaching in their effect on style. By questioning them, this work continues to stimulate a reorientation in our understandiing of Baroque and post-Baroque music. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

… it is more likely that at least good performers will disregard it and miss the material of genuine value that it contains.
