The I word | Computerworld Songs Without Words Lieder ohne Worte is a series of short lyrical piano songs by the Romantic composer Felix Mendelssohnwritten between and His sister Fanny Mendelssohn and other composers also wrote pieces in the same genre. The eight volumes of Songs Without Wordseach consisting of six songs Liederwere written at various points throughout Mendelssohn's life, and were published separately. The Words Without Music became increasingly popular in Europe during the early nineteenth century, when it became a standard item in many middle-class households. The pieces are within the Words Without Music of pianists of various abilities and this undoubtedly contributed to their popularity. This great popularity has caused many critics to under-rate their musical value. The first volume was published by Novello in London as Original Melodies for the Pianofortebut the later volumes used the title Songs Without Words. The works were part of the Romantic tradition of writing Words Without Music lyrical pieces for the piano, although the specific concept of "Songs Without Words" was new. Mendelssohn's sister Fanny wrote a number of similar pieces though not so entitled and, according to some music historians, she may have helped inspire the concept. InFanny wrote Words Without Music a letter "My birthday was celebrated very nicely Felix has given me a 'song without words' for my album he has lately written several beautiful ones. What the music I love expresses to me, is not thought too indefinite to put into words, but on the contrary, Words Without Music definite. Mendelssohn's own italics [2]. Mendelssohn also wrote other Songs Without Words not collected in volumes, and published only in recent years. Furthermore, original drafts exist for many of the 'Songs' Words Without Music of which differ quite substantially from the eventually published versions. The titles attributed to some of the songs below were given by Mendelssohn himself. Book 2 was dedicated to Elisa von Woringen. Song number 2 was written for his sister Fanny to celebrate the birth of her Words Without Music in Song Words Without Music 6 was given the title Duetto by Mendelssohn, since two melodies were written to represent two singers. It was composed in Frankfurt in Junesoon after he had met his future wife. Book 3 was dedicated to Rosa von Woringen. Book 4 was dedicated to Sophia Horsley. Song No. Book 5 was dedicated to Clara Schumann. Words Without Music Spinnerlied has also been given the nickname the "Bee's Wedding" since the busy accompaniment to the melody resembles the buzzing of bees. Book 6 was dedicated to Sophie Rosen. A piece in D major for cello and piano, written by Mendelssohn around for cellist Lisa Cristianiwas published for the first time after his death. It was designated Opus and entitled Song Without Words. Words Without Music is not related to any of the piano pieces. A piece for piano in E minor by Mendelssohn was published after his death under Op. Mendelssohn made piano duet arrangements of a number of the songs, namely those that became Book 5 and the Words Without Music song of Book 6, which he presented to Queen Victoria in One such example is the arrangement of 22 of the songs by Mendelssohn's student, the German violist Friedrich Hermann —for violin and piano. This was based on songs 1—3 of Book I, Op. Vial, started to play it in Paris on 9 April [14] but Liszt became ill during the performance. Ferruccio Busoni planned to play it in London with Egon Petribut died before the plan could be realised. There are also examples of recordings of transcriptions, for solo instrument and piano accompaniment, of Mendelssohn lieder written for the voice, which have been entitled "Songs Without Words", for instance by Mischa Maisky. No such arrangements were however made, or so titled, by Mendelssohn himself. Fanny Mendelssohn's early collections of piano works opp. Other composers who were inspired to produce similar sets of pieces of their own included Charles-Valentin Alkan the five sets of Chantseach ending with a barcarolleAnton RubinsteinIgnaz Moscheles and Edvard Grieg his 66 Lyric Pieces. Two Songs Without Words Op. Both Alkan and Rubinstein frequently included items from Mendelssohn's Songs in their recitals. Ferruccio Busoniwho considered Mendelssohn "a master of undisputed greatness", turned to the Songs Without Words in the last Words Without Music of his life for a projected series of recitals in London.

  • What If You Stumbled Upon a Long-Lost Masterpiece That Possessed the Power to Change History?
    WHAT IF YOU STUMBLED UPON A LONG-LOST MASTERPIECE THAT POSSESSED THE POWER TO CHANGE HISTORY? “A ‘what if’ novel that begins in the glittering salons of Enlightenment Berlin where, beneath the surface, are sentiments too sinister to be named and culminating in New York present day, And After the Fire is an intellectual thriller and a beautiful love story. Sure to establish Belfer as a fearless, provocative writer. Impossible to put down.” —Sara Gruen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of At the Water’s Edge and Water for Elephants “Can any mortal adjective convey my adoration for this brilliant and mesmerizing story? Ask my friends: Since reading And After the Fire, I’ve been trumpeting it as the best novel I’ve had the pleasure of reading in years. Brava, Lauren Belfer. I thank you for this fascinating, virtuoso, unforgettable book.” —Elinor Lipman, New York Times bestselling author of Then She Found Me Dear Colleague, The unexpected discovery of a shocking Meisterwerk is the inspiration behind New York Times bestselling author Lauren Belfer’s atmospheric, enthrallingly suspenseful novel, AND AFTER THE FIRE (Harper, $26.99/$33.50; Hardcover; ISBN 13: 9780062428516; on-sale: May 3, 2016). Belfer explains, “I was taking a class on Johann Sebastian Bach and I thought, what if I found a work of art stolen during World War II—not a painting, but an unknown choral masterpiece, a cantata by Bach, and what if its content was, by modern standards, prejudicial and inflammatory?” The result is her best novel yet. AND AFTER THE FIRE is a transporting, unputdownable, multi-generational saga, spanning centuries and continents, and interweaving two women’s lives through the riveting history of Belfer’s imagined choral score.
