![]() ![]() Author: Ewen David Publisher: Odoya Tin Pan Alley: una strada, un nome scherzosamente ironico, una tradizione. Lą, in quella via piena di casino, fra gli studi fumosi degli editori di musica e gli stretti cubicoli dove attorno ai pianoforti male accordati si assiepavano canzonettiste e impresari teatrali, "fini dicitori" e "parolieri", tra il 1915 e il 1930 si verifica un evento memorabile negli annali della storia della musica. A opera di pochi artisti ispirati, il Jazz, figlio derelitto degli Spirituals e delle antiche melopee africane, germogliato fra il ritmico battere di remi sul Mississippi e l'ossessionante calore dei campi di cotone, viene innalzato quasi di colpo agli onori delle sale da concerto. Gershwin fu artefice e attore di questo mutamento di gusti e di opinioni. Nato nel 1898, da famiglia povera, in uno dei quartieri pił miseri di New York, cresciuto sui marciapiedi della Grande Mela, allevato nella parsimonia, percorse una parabola da meteora: con bruciante rapiditą divenne famoso e conobbe una favolosa ricchezza. Ewen ci racconta la vita di Gershwin, dai primi timidi approcci con il pianoforte all'apoteosi di Porgy and Bess. Chiunque abbia ascoltato almeno una volta le struggenti melodie del Concerto in Fa, di Un Americano a Parigi, della Rapsodia in blu, non potrą fare a meno di seguire con passione la vertiginosa avventura di un musicista eccezionale, mai dimenticato e osannato da film e serie, spentosi improvvisamente a soli trentotto anni. € 16,00

![]() ![]() Author: Loewenstein David (EDT), Witmore Michael (EDT) Publisher: Cambridge Univ Pr "Shakespeare and Early Modern Religion contains contributions from both literary scholars and historians of religion; as such, it is a cross-disciplinary volume that illuminates Shakespeare's plays and the early modern religious beliefs that circulated in Shakespeare's England. Most notably, this volume explores Shakespeare's creative engagement with early modern religious culture, but it does so without assuming that Shakespeare can himself be aligned with any specific doctrinal beliefs, religious group, or confession. The essays in this book thus eschew firm or reductive assertions about Shakespeare's personal religious convictions. Instead, contributors focus on his imaginative recasting of different currents of early modern religious culture and beliefs in their great variety, an array of perspectives that was at once contradictory, competing, and deeply contested"-- € 102,90
