Would you have the same feeling about any other piano? " It's a Steinway." Nothing more need be said. Everybody knows you have chosen wisely; you have given to your home the very best that money can buy. You will never even think of changing this piano for any other. As the years go by the words "It's a Steinway" will mean more and more to you, and thousands of times, as you continue to enjoy through life the com- panionship of that noble instrument, absolutely without a peer, you will say to yourself: "How glad I am I paid the few extra dollars and got a Steinway."

  • The Cambridge Companion to the Lied - Edited by James Parsons Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 052180471X - The Cambridge Companion to the Lied - Edited by James Parsons Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to the Lied Beginning several generations before Schubert, the Lied first appears as domestic entertainment. In the century that follows it becomes one of the primary modes of music-making. By the time German song comes to its presumed conclusion with Richard Strauss’s 1948 Vier letzte Lieder, this rich repertory has moved beyond the home and keyboard accompaniment to the symphony hall. This is the first introductory chronicle of this fascinating genre. In essays by eminent scholars, this Companion places the Lied in its full context – at once musical, literary, and cultural – with chapters devoted to focal composers as well as important issues, such as the way in which the Lied influenced other musical genres, its use as a musical commodity, and issues of performance. The volume is framed by a detailed chronology of German music and poetry from the late 1730s to the present and also contains a wide-ranging guide to suggested further reading. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 052180471X - The Cambridge Companion to the Lied - Edited by James Parsons Frontmatter More information Cambridge Companions to Music Topics The Cambridge Companion to Blues and Gospel Music Edited by Allan Moore The Cambridge Companion to Conducting Edited by Jose´ Antonio Bowen The Cambridge Companion to Grand Opera Edited by David Charlton The Cambridge Companion to Jazz Edited

    THE OPERAS OF PETER CORNELIUS: A RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION IN THE HIGHER LEVEL MUSIC CURRICULUM By ORVILLE TIMOTHY LAWTON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1988 l^ry^u-^^'hiA Copyright 1988 by Orville Timothy Lawton This work is dedicated to my loving mother, Theodora Ernestine Lawton, and in loving memory of my father, James William Lawton. Their love and encouragement have sustained me. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study would not have been possible without the help of many people. Gratitude is hereby expressed to the following persons whose encouragement and support were extremely helpful in completing this project. To my committee chairman Dr. Forrest W. Parkay, words of thanks seem so inadequate for expressing my appreciation for all the help he provided. His telephone calls to "see how things are going" were very encouraging. Cochairman Dr. David Z. Kushner, eminent musicologist, advisor, and friend, provided invaluable friendship and encouragement throughout the years. Special thanks are given to other committee members: Dr. S. Philip Kniseley, Mr. John Kitts, and Dr. Albert B. Smith, III. Their assistance and encouragement are much appreciated. Mrs. Robena Eng-Cornwell, music librarian, gave assistance well beyond the call of duty and became a dear friend in the process. I could not have completed this project without the untiring help Ms. Geraldine Collins gave in securing the many IV German articles and books through the Inter-Library Loan Department. I am indebted to her. Dr. Quincy "Q.C." Hilliard provided extremely valuable assistance with the musical examples.
