DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of Preparing Graduate Papers in Music is to provide music students with some guidelines to assist in the preparation of theses, essays, dissertations, and other papers that may be written as part of their graduate program. This manual includes information and examples for preparing such papers and is designed specifically to assist students in writing about music and in documenting references to music, music notation, recordings, and other musical resources. It is intended to complement guidelines provided by a university's graduate office and the two style manuals most used by music students, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (Turabian 1996) and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA 1994).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis handbook has all the facts to help classical musicians come to terms with the often-overlooked business details essential to progressing in their careers: Self-promotion pointers: resumes, photos, business letters, stationery/business cards, telephone techniques, brochures, audio/visual demo cassettes, personal appearance, mailing lists; Organizational techniques: debut recital planning, performance checklist, activity chart, expense log; Business tips: management, publicity, taxes, networking, union affiliations; Service address listings: state arts councils, regional arts councils, service organizations, advocacy groups, grants, foundations, and more. Along with the facts, established musicians share their experiences--both good and bad--they've had along the way to a successful career. When they started out, a handbook like this wasn't available. Now that it is, you can avoid saying what they said over and over: "If I'd only known!"

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“A valuable resource for musicologists, theorists, pianists, and aestheticians interested in reading about Schumann’s views on virtuosity.” —Notes Considered one of the greatest composers—and music critics—of the Romantic era, Robert Schumann (1810–1856) played an important role in shaping nineteenth-century German ideas about virtuosity. Forging his career in the decades that saw abundant public fascination with the feats and creations of virtuosos (Liszt, Paganini, and Chopin among others), Schumann engaged with instrumental virtuosity through not only his compositions and performances but also his music reviews and writings about his contemporaries. Ultimately, the discourse of virtuosity influenced the culture of Western “art music” well beyond the nineteenth century and into the present day. By examining previously unexplored archival sources, Alexander Stefaniak looks at the diverse approaches to virtuosity Schumann developed over the course of his career, revealing several distinct currents in nineteenth-century German virtuosity and the enduring flexibility of virtuosity discourse.
