First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine-. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Printing. During the Reformation, a new musical form developed to replace Catholic funerary ritual. A solo violinist became central to the conduct of the Protestant funeral. Despite its enormous influence on classical music, this music has almost entirely vanished. In a series of "funerary purges," the violinists were driven into silence or clandestine activity. Herein, the author examines this genre's history. 210 pages. B&W photos, illustrations and scores. Dust jacket is not traditional, instead a back cover flap. Remainder mark. A beautiful copy.

Book First Edition
Leinen. Condition: gut. 1.-7. Tausend. Fadengehefteter Ganzleineneinband mit rotem Titel-Rückenschild, geprägtem Deckeltitel, geprägten Deckelbildern, farbigen Vorsätzen und Lesebändchen. Die Schnitte dezent berieben, die letzten Seiten mit kleinem Knickchen am unteren Rand, ansonsten rundum guter Erhaltungszustand. Buch ohne die Buchhülse. Gesetzt aus der Italian Old Style und gedruckt auf ein 90g/qm holz- und säurefreies mattgeglättetes Luxo Cream-Bücherpapier der Papierfabrik Schneidersöhne. Dies ist Buch Nr. 5678. "Zum Sterben schön: Seit den kulturellen Umwälzungen der Reformationsjahre war sie zu hören - nur von denen nicht, deren tränenreiches Gedenken ihr schmerzlichschönes Spiel galt, den Toten: die Beerdigungs-Violine (auch "Totengeige") ersetzte die römisch-katholischen Bestattungsrituale im protestantischen und anglikanischen Europa. Doch die Geschichte der melancholischen, zutiefst bewegenden Begräbnis-Kompositionen geriet nach der Gegenreformation in Vergessenheit, und die Mitglieder der 1586 gegründeten britischen Gilde der Totengeiger verzogen sich vor mehr als 170 Jahren in den Untergrund einer Geheimgesellschaft. In Deutschland, wo es bis zum ersten Weltkrieg von mehreren Künstlern mit besonderer Inbrunst ausgeübt wurde, ist das schaurig-schöne musikalische Genre völlig ausgestorben. Der englische Musikologe Rohan Kriwaczek - selbst praktizierender Geigenspieler, Flötist und Klezmer-Spezialist - hat einen zufälligen Zugang zu dem Archiv der Gilde gefunden und eine schier unglaubliche, spannende und fabelhaft gut geschriebene Chronik dieser zu Unrecht missachteten Musikrichtung und ihrer gedemütigten Künstler geschrieben. Das Buch, 2006 in England und in den USA erschienen, erregte ungemeines Aufsehen: Hatte sich der Autor einen komplizierten Scherz erlaubt, ganz in der Tradition britischer Literatur-Mystifikationen, oder hat er einen historiographischen Coup gelandet, den andere Musik-Historiker ihm neiden' So oder so - der empfindsame, mitfühlende und mithörende Leser dieses unwahrscheinlichen, detailverliebten Buches wird die Wahrheit im eigenen Herzen entdecken." (Verlagstext) In deutscher Sprache. 305, (7) pages. 8° (128 x 217mm).

Book First Edition
Condition: Very Good. First Australian. 210 pp. Extremely light scuffing to covers. Corners very slightly curled. All else clean, bright; solidly bound. Black-and-white illustrations in the text. Includes 'The Book of Scores, being a selection of the surviving scores so far discovered.' "A detailed, thought-provoking account of this forgotten musical genre. It is also a work of fiction. Rohan Kriwaczek claims to be England's leading authority on the history and practice of funerary violin, and it is difficult to dispute his credentials since the genre is entirely his invention. The Art of Funerary Violin is a work of imaginary scholarship, presented as nonfiction with nary a sly wink of warning to the unsuspecting reader. One is tempted to make comparisons with Jorge Luis Borges's early stories; one is further tempted to invent an author with whom to make comparisons. The latter would certainly be in keeping with the spirit of the thing." -- Tim Howard, The Sydney Morning Herald Size: Octavo.
