b. Based on what we've discussed so far, an art song might be defined as "a poem set to music, usually
for trained voice and piano accompaniment with a duration of about three minutes." The German word
for such classical song is Lied (singular) and Lieder (plural), so that you will hear the terms "art song,"
"lied" and "lieder" used interchangeably. In France the term is Melodie, and in Italy, Romanza. Art song
can be traced back to the Medieval period but became especially popular during the Romantic era. Thus,
it is considered a genre of Romantic music. Art song is written by a professional composer and performed
by a trained singer.
c.
d. Strophic form (verse-repeating or chorus form; from the Greek word στροφή (strophi) meaning "turn")
is the simplest and most durable of musical forms, elaborating a piece of music by repetition of a single
formal section. This may be analyzed as "A A A...". This additive method is the musical analogue of
repeated stanzas in poetry or lyrics and, in fact, where the text repeats the same rhyme scheme from
one stanza to the next the song's structure also often uses either the same or very similar material from
one stanza to the next.
The term through-composed is also applied to opera and musical theater to indicate the extent of music.
In this case the term has nothing to do with a form devoid of repetition, which would be virtually
impossible for a full scale opera. Instead, it indicates that the musicians continuously keep playing, as
opposed to having a collection of songs interrupted by recitative pieces anddialogue. Examples of the
modern trend towards through-composed works in musical theater include the works of Stephen
Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber. In musical theater, works with no spoken dialogue, such as Les
Misérables are usually referred to by the term "through-sung."
e. Chopin was called the "poete of the piano because his music, rooted in the heart of Romanticism,
made this era the piano's golden age. Composer and pianist, born in Zelazowa Wola, near Warsaw,
Poland, where his French father had settled. Frederic Chopin is often referred to as "The Poet of the
Piano".
It's said that no one understood the piano better than Frederic Chopin. He could make it sound romantic
and poetic.
Most of Frederic Chopin's tunes were short pieces but he could pour out a happy, sad, passionate or
dreamy tune that was perfect in terms of form and style.
f. Johannes Brahms was a German composer and pianist, and one of the leading musicians of
the Romantic period. Born in Hamburg, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria,
where he was a leader of the musical scene. In his lifetime, Brahms's popularity and influence were
considerable; following a comment by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow, he is
sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the Three Bs.
Brahms composed for piano, chamber ensembles, symphony orchestra, and for voice and chorus. A
virtuoso pianist, he premiered many of his own works; he also worked with some of the leading
performers of his time, including the pianist Clara Schumann and the violinist Joseph Joachim. Many of
his works have become staples of the modern concert repertoire. Brahms, an uncompromising
perfectionist, destroyed many of his works and left some of them unpublished
Franz Peter Schubert (German pronunciation: [ˈ
fʁants ˈ
ʃuːbɛɐ̯t]; 31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828)
was an Austrian composer.
In a short lifespan of just nearly 32 years, Schubert was a prolific composer, writing some 600 Lieder,
nine symphonies (including the famous "Unfinished Symphony"), liturgical music, operas, some incidental
music, and a large body of chamber and solo piano music. Appreciation of Schubert's music during his
lifetime was limited, but interest in his work increased significantly in the decades following his
death. Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn, among others,
discovered and championed his works in the 19th century. Today, Schubert is seen as one of the leading
exponents of the early Romantic era in music and he remains one of the most frequently performed
composers.
