Popular Morality and Unpopular Philosophy
Authors: Taylor C C W 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The reader of K.J. Dover‘s magisterial Greek Popular Morality in the Time of Plato and Aristotle (hereafter GPM) cannot but be struck by the fact that, while the names of Plato and Aristotle appear in the title as an indication of the temporal scope of the work, reference to their writings in the book itself is comparatively sparse. This comparative neglect stems directly from his conception of the project. In his preface (pp. xi-xii) he distinguishes the subject of the work, viz. ‘the data relevant to popular morality‘, from ‘systematic ethical thought‘ (i.e. the ethical theories of Plato and Aristotle), and points out that he has not attempted (in GPM) to investigate the relation between the two. The existence of the distinction between popular morality and ethical theory I take as self evident, and I have no quarrel with Dover‘s decision not to undertake the complex task of investigating the relations between the two in the Greece of the fourth century BC; he rightly sees GPM as devoted to the prior task of providing part of the data for such an investigation. But the writings of Plato and Aristotle may themselves be expected to provide, in addition to their authors‘ theoretical views, some evidence of current moral attitudes. Any author writing on morality must take some interest in, and therefore provide evidence for, views current at the time of writing. Moreover, the character of the works of Plato and Aristotle gives special reasons for expecting them to be fruitful sources of such evidence. Plato writes dialogues in which some characters express, not Plato‘s own beliefs, but views which Plato presumably believed to be current at the time; Aristotle‘s ethical method explicitly counts current moral beliefs as among the ϕ α iν ó μ ϵ ν α which it is the task of ethical theory to systematize and harmonize (EN 1095a28-30, EE 1216b26-35, 1235b13-18).
The Meaning of α λ α ζ ω ν
Authors: Macdowell Douglas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
"It is characteristic of great writers that their work attracts scholia, in which lesser men try to expound and enlarge on what the great men have said. This paper is a scholium on a short comment written by Kenneth Dover. Arist. EN n27a 2off., b17ff., defines α λ α ζ ω ν as a man who claims a respect which he does not deserve, and this accords well (better, in fact, than Theophr. Char. 23, where α λ α ζoν ϵiα is practically confined to boasting about wealth) with the passages of Ar. in which the word is used (e.g. 449, Ach. ro9, 135).
Aristides
Authors: Swain Simon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Aelius Aristides enjoyed enormous popularity for his rhetorical prowess in his own lifetime and thereafter. His canonization as a model of atticist style in antiquity itself and his popularity in the Byzantine period have ensured that very many of his works survive. Undoubtedly the most singular side of his character was his devotion to the healing god Asclepius and his long struggle to be well. I have already had occasion to say something about Aristides’ obsession with his health in the course of discussing the modern conception of the second sophistic period as an ‘age of anxiety’. Aristides’ recollections of his struggle were also famous in antiquity. ‘He himself speaks of the nature of his disease ... in the Sacred Books, and these form some sort of diary for him, and such diaries are excellent teachers of how to speak well on any subject.’ The six Sacred Tales (Orr. xlvii-lii), as they are normally called, are certainly one of the most interesting works to have come down to us from this period. They are records not so much of Aristides’ disease as of the treatments suggested for it by Asclepius.
Pachomius and Shenoute: The Other Classic Model
Authors: Elm Susanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Tensions between male and female, between settled and wander ing life, between members of the clergy and desert-dwellers, were not the only ones the Desert Fathers had to come to terms with. In time tensions also arose between the anchorite or semi anchorite life per se and yet another organizational model, which emerged at the same time as the deserts of Lower Egypt began to be populated. This model originated in Upper Egypt, in the Thebaid, and was in principle based on the same premises as the ascetic life represented by Antony and Amoun, but it carried the aspects of hospitality, charity, and mutual dependence to their logical conclusion: Pachomian cenobitism.
The Moderns
Authors: Smith Paul Julian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book offers a radically new account of the rich and varied culture of contemporary Spain. It focuses on three intellectuals who chronicle contemporary life (including journalist Francisco Umbral); three filmmakers who engage with the many nationalisms of the Spanish state (Victor Erice, Bigas Luna, and Julio Medem); and three crucial topics that are expressed in many media (the replaying of history, the rise and fall of the city, and the practice of everyday life). Ranging from the ethnographic photography of Cristina García Rodero to the high tech architecture of Santiago Calatrava and from the hyperrealist painting of Antonio López to the neo-flamenco dance of Joaquín Cortés, this book is also the first to draw on theorists of the intellectual field, the production of space, and the arts of bricolage (Pierre Bourdieu, Henri Lefebvre, and Michel de Certeau). Refuting the charge that contemporary Spanish culture is trivial or superficial, this book argues that it is fully engaged in the aesthetic and historical project of modernity.
The Papin Sisters
Authors: Edwards Rachel , Reader Keith 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The 1933 killing by the Papin sisters of their mistress and her daughter was an act of unexampled violence by women against women, whose repercussions have been felt in French culture ever since. It received wide journalistic coverage at the time, and subsequently prominent literary figures such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean Genet have dealt with the case, which has also formed the basis of a stage play (by Wendy Kesselmann) and films by Nico Papatakis, Nancy Meckler and Claude Chabrol. The case casts fascinating light on French provincial life between the wars, the role of women (especially unmarried ones) in French society, and French views of the criminal outsider. Its impact on psychoanalytic discourse, through the work first of Jacques Lacan, then of Francis Dupré and Marie-Magdeleine Lessana, has also been considerable, notably in its contribution to the development of the key notion of the mirror-phase. The almost obsessive recurrence of the case makes of it a fascinating prism through which to examine multiple aspects of recent French culture.
Haydn and the Enlightenment
Authors: Schroeder David P 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book sets out to challenge the widely-held view of Haydn as an inspired instrumental musician who composed in isolation from eighteenth-century enlightened thinking. By means of both documentary and musical investigation the author seeks instead to present him as a culturally and politically sensitive representative of the Age of the Enlightenment. Of fundamental importance in this survey is Haydn's relationship with his audience, which, it is argued, had a significant bearing on the nature of the works. The author suggests that Haydn was well acquainted with the contemporary view that works of literature or music should serve a moral function and he points to numerous instances in the late symphonies where this end is effectively pursued.
Beethoven and the Creative Process
Authors: Cooper Barry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Beethoven's habit of composing by making large numbers of preliminary drafts and sketches was sufficiently unusual to attract attention even during his lifetime, and his creative process has attracted a good deal more attention since. The present book incorporates the findings of recent studies on this fascinating subject as well as providing many additional new insights. Cooper examines Beethoven's underlying creative motivation and there is and introduction to his compositional methods in general. The final part of the book is a detailed study of particular compositional problems in six different works, selected to provide a wide range of genres, dates, and types of problem. The book as a whole adds considerably to our understanding of one of the greatest figures in the history of our culture.
Mahler’s Fourth Symphony
Authors: Zychowicz James L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Following the earlier volumes in the Studies in Musical Genesis and Structure series, Mahler’s Fourth Symphony is a study of the origins of the work as well as a thorough examination of Mahler’s compositional process. The source of the Fourth Symphony was the song Das himmlische Leben, which Mahler completed in 1892 and later wished to include in a large-scale work. Originally part of a collection of settings from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, the song became, for a time, part of the Third Symphony (1896). Eventually Mahler made Das himmlische Leben the source and goal of the Fourth Symphony, which he completed in 1901. In this book, James Zychowicz explores how Mahler’s compositional process for the Fourth, from the early movement plans to preliminary sketches, short score, draft score, and fair copy. At each stage of the process, Mahler added details, decided on textures, and explored tonalities until he arrived at the finished score. This is the first comprehensive study of Mahler’s compositional method, concerning a pivotal work in his oeuvre. The Fourth Symphony looks back toward the earlier Wunderhorn period and simultaneously forward to the less programmatic style of his middle symphonies.
Turmoil and Apprenticeship 1854-1858
Authors: Avins Styra , Eisinger Josef 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When Johannes Brahms returned to Hamburg, in December 1853, he came home to a changed city. Doors which had long been closed to him now stood open; Schumann’s public pronouncement had done its work. Prominent musicians, who had taken only passing note of his prodigious talent and then allowed him to slide back out of sight ‘to create in quiet obscurity’, in Schumann’s words, were eager now to welcome him into their homes and on their concert programmes.
Johannes de Grocheio, the Litterati, and Verbal Subtilitas in the Ars Antiqua Motet
Authors: Page Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
IN the previous chapter I suggested that the base for the materials of the Ars antiqua motet was a broad one, and I now wish to propose that it may have been matched by a breadth in the constituency of the audience for these pieces. The audience for medieval secular music has received little attention, perhaps because it is an issue where musicology dissolves into social and cultural history. As far as the Ars antiqua motet is concerned, the consensus is that these pieces were performed for ‘an intellectual élite’, but what manner of person—what manner of mind—does that phrase evoke in a thirteenth- or fourteenth-century context?
Liturgical
Authors: Simeone Nigel , Tyrrell John , Němcová Alena 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Janá ček’s autograph is undated, but he wrote the piece into an album containing com¬ positions mostly originating during his studies at the Prague Organ School in 1874-5, where it is flanked by the Graduale ‘Speciosus forma’ 11/1 (dated 29 Dec 1874) and Benedictus 11/5 (dated 17 Feb 1875). The Jan 1875 date is further corroborated by the fact that the text which it sets would have been used, in 1874-5, on Sunday 3 Jan 1875.

Most items are given as a single-stave tune, but some (e.g. nos 1729-39) are given in score for a variety of folk instruments. The book was originally issued in two parts: i (1899; 907 songs); ii (1901; 1150 songs).
Chopin
Authors: Samson Jim 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This new Master Musician interweaves biographical and musical commentary to produce a well-rounded portrait of Chopin the man and the musician. Avoiding complex technical language, Jim Samson addresses such questions as pedagogy, musical influences, and pianistic idiom. He examines the composer's mature musical style, considers his unique approach to the genres of nineteenth-century piano music, and investigates the nature of his compositional process as revealed through manuscripts and early printed scores. In ceading the book we begin to understand why this frail and fastidious musician from Warsaw, whose music is so immensely refined and innovatory, has captured the imagination of generations of music lovers the world over.
Jan Dismas Zelenka
Authors: Stockigt Janice B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Only in the latter half of the twentieth century did the star of Jan Dismas Zelenka begin to ascend. Why did this major Bohemian composer of the Baroque era – who was known to, and esteemed by Johann Sebastian Bach – remain in the shadows for so long? Although most of Zelenka’s music was composed to serve the Catholic liturgy, he left a handful of secular compositions, including six remarkable chamber sonatas. When these were first published in the 1960s, the resurrection of the almost-forgotten Zelenka was heralded. Drawing upon surviving musical materials, contemporary accounts, and Jesuit documentation, this volume presents insights into Zelenka’s life and his music and the brilliant context in which he worked – the Dresden court during the reigns of the Kings of Poland and Electors of Saxony, Friedrich August I and II. A catalogue of Zelenka’s compositions is also included.
Makers Of The Piano

This book continues the overview of early pianos begun in Clinkscale’s Makers of the Piano 1700-1820 (OUP, 1993). Although a few of the biographies overlap, the majority of the makers are completely new. Approximately 2,400 makers and manufacturers and about 2,200 pianos are listed. Of this total, about 645 are English, the majority of whom were active in London; more than 200 of the London makers have not been discussed in previous publications.
Mendelssohn’s ‘Italian’ Symphony
Authors: Cooper John Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Mendelssohn’s posthumously published Symphony in A Major has become one of the staples of the nineteenth-century symphonic canon, and is often considered emblematic of Mendelssohn’s stylistic strengths and weaknesses - yet the version by which the work has always been known is the first complete version (1833), which was rejected by the composer and rewritten by him the following year. This study documents the Symphony’s complicated genesis, examines the reception history of that version, and explores the far-reaching changes incorporated in the 1834 reworking. The book concludes with chapters about the validity and implications of the traditional ‘Italian’ epithet and the ways in which the music of the two principal versions can shape our understanding of Mendelssohn, his music, and his significance as a cultural figure in the musical culture of the nineteenth century.
The Visionary and the Dramatic in the Music of Lutos’awski
Authors: Casken John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Much has been written and said about Lutos ławski’s compositional style and technique. Detailed analysis has provided important insights into the composer’s methods of pitch organization, his concept of harmony and melody, and he him self has talked at length about formal organization. During his lifetime, however, Lutosławski discouraged discussion of those aspects of his art which lay beyond the musical materials and dramatic forms themselves, confirming perhaps that we often prefer analysis as a substitute for what we want to say, but cannot express, about a work of art. It is this very area which will be addressed here in an attempt to establish that there is something of the visionary in Lutos ławski’s music, and one question which begs to be answered is why, in each of Lutoslaw ski’s mature works, attention seems to focus on one particular moment or episode when a new level is reached.
‘Dans la Nuit’: The Themes of Death and Night in Lutos ławski’s ceuvre
Authors: Trochimczyk Maja 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The start of Lutos ławski’s musical career was marked by the coupling of social and artistic responses to death: in 1937 he composed a eulogy in words and a requiem in sound. The former, an article entitled ‘Tchnienie wielkosci’ (The Aura of Greatness) expressed the young composer’s reaction to the death of Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937). The latter was Lutos ławski’s graduation piece of the same year, a Requiem, one part of which, Lacrimosa, has survived to be recorded and included in his catalogue.
Alan Rawsthorne
Authors: Mccabe John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is the first comprehensive study of the life and music of Alan Rawsthorne (1905-71), one of the leading British composers of the twentieth century. Rawsthorne came from the same generation of composers as Britten, Walton, Tippett, and Constant Lambert. Since his death in 1971 his music, after a period of comparative neglect, is currently enjoying a revival in performance and recording. The composer and pianist John McCabe here brings a lifetime’s knowledge of the man and his music to a vivid portrait of Rawsthorne’s life, drawing on conversations with his family, friends, and colleagues as well as contemporary documentation. Almost every one of his works is discussed, many of them in detail, demonstrating the versatility and range of Rawsthorne’s vision, from popular works, such as Street Corner and the piano concertos, to the remarkable power of his lesser-known later works. In particular McCabe draws attention to the astonishing renewal of Rawsthorne’s creative enery during his later period, and the immense broadening of his emotional and technical horizons leading to such masterpieces as the Third Symphony and Carmen Vitale. He makes a powerful case for a thorough reassessment of Rawsthorne’s oeuvre. A complimentary CD provides the reader with a representative sample of Rawsthorne’s music.

Bloch, Schoenberg, and Bernstein
Authors: Schiller David M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
David Schiller’s study of three works of Jewish music - Ernest Bloch’s ‘Sacred Service’ (1933), Arnold Schoenberg’s ‘A Survivor from Warsaw’ (1947), and Leonard Bernstein’s ‘Kaddish’ (1963) - reveals how, in the mid-twentieth century, the problem of assimilation was acutely felt as the unfinished business of European Jewry, at a time when American Jewry was creating its own distinctive culture (albeit with European roots). He shows how the business of ‘assimilating Jewish music’ is as much a process audiences themselves engage in when they listen to Jewish music as it is something critics and musicologists do when they write about it. He further asserts that this process of assimilation is performed by the music itself - that Jewish music assimilates into the Western tradition of art music when it appears in the form of concert genres like the oratorio, cantata, and symphony. In rethinking the Jewish works of Bloch, Schoenberg, and Bernstein as part of the legacy of assimilation, David Schiller sheds new light on an important aspect of their cultural and aesthetic achievements.
Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw
Authors: Schiller David M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter on Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw resembles the previous one in its organization. The first section deals with the intellectual and political forces that stimulated and sustained Schoenberg’s interest in Jewish music and prayer, particularly in the period after his arrival in the United States in October of 1933. The second section focuses on the Survivor itself. It presents an analysis and discussion of the score, interpreting it as a cantata on the theme of Jewish survival and stressing its connections with Zionist thought. The third section of the chapter explores Survivor’s reception. By reopening some early discussions of the Survivor, it qualifies subsequent interpretations of the work as a triumph of the human spirit and underscores the agonistic ethos from which the work emerged.
American Impressions (n940)
Authors: Kildea Paul 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
First of all the size. Coming from England where, I believe, there is no place more than 80 miles from the sea, the immense distances one can travel here and is expected to travel here are unbelievable. The other side of the Atlantic the journey of two hundred odd miles between London and Paris is, for the majority of Englishmen an event only to be undertaken after much thought and preparation and one which will clearly distinguish one year from another. Here the number of miles has no such significance. Americans commute distances which Englishmen travel for their summer vacations. And not only size in distances, in opportunities. For a musician this is especially obvious. If, as a composer, he has a success with an orchestral work, there are over 60 first-class orchestras to play this work1-in England there are perhaps six. If a singer, a tour of only the women’s clubs of this country will keep him busy for several months. I am told that music is the third largest industry in this country, and having spent some time in the Middle West listening to a Band Clinic, in which a University Band of some 300 strong took part, and talking to numberless directors of similar bands, I can well believe this. The demand for music of all types is enormous, and serious composing should be a most profitable business.
