Peter Kaminsky 
Unmasking Ravel [EPUB ebook] 
New Perspectives on the Music

Support

Collection of critical and analytical scholarly essays on the music of Ravel by prominent scholars.
Unmasking Ravel: New Perspectives on the Music fills a unique place in Ravel studies by combining critical interpretation and analytical focus. From the premiere of his works up to the present, Ravel has been associated with masks and the related notions of artifice and imposture. This has led scholars to perceive a lack of depth in his music and, consequently, to discourage investigation of his musical language. This volume balances and interweavesthese modes of inquiry. Part 1, ‘Orientations and Influences, ‘ illuminates the sometimes contradictory aesthetic, biographical, and literary strands comprising Ravel’s artistry and our understanding of it. Part 2, ‘Analytical Case Studies, ‘ engages representative works from Ravel’s major genres using a variety of methodologies, focusing on structural process and his complex relation to stylistic convention. Part 3, ‘Interdisciplinary Studies, ‘ integratesmusical analysis and art criticism, semiotics, and psychoanalysis in creating novel methodologies.
Contributors include prominent scholars of Ravel’s and fin-de-siècle music: Elliott Antokoletz, Gurminder Bhogal, Sigrun B. Heinzelmann, Volker Helbing, Steven Huebner, Peter Kaminsky, Barbara Kelly, David Korevaar, Daphne Leong, Michael Puri, and Lauri Suurpää.
Peter Kaminsky is Professor of Music at the University of Connecticut, Storrs.
