Book Description Broschiert. Condition: Sehr gut. 128 S. mit Abb. Gutes Ex. - Orpheus and His Lyre Form-Perform-Transform -- The Performer's Three-fold Body 3 and 7 in Music -- 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Music The Song of the Earth -- Musical Locks and Keys -- The Gong, Drum and Bell -- The Rose and the Rosin -- The Tortoise and the Violin -- The Swan Song -- The Refiner's Fire -- Opera -- Immediacy -- The Principle of Let -- The Dance of Life -- Phase and Phrase -- Opposites in Music -- The Palette of the Singer -- Man the Player -- Index. - In this his second work, the author of The Simplicity of Playing the Violin leads the reader into the deeper implications of music. "A human being is not completely known by his physical structure; and no more is a musical interval completely known by its appearance on paper". By looking beyond the musical interval as it appears on paper, he sees that the laws which govern the composition and playing of music are the same laws which govern the composition of Man, Nature and the universe. Everything has a symbolic meaning; and it is the symbolism inherent not only in the instruments or parts thereof with which we play our music but also in the various parts of the human body, which he discusses in these essays. Man, he says, by the process of evolution, has grown away from his source, the Absolute, and consequently is at war with himself. His life is an unresolved conflict for a return to that source. Music and art, he believes are vicariously living out that unresolved problem of the human race. Music and art create unity, and it is unity that Man seeks-unity with his source. This cultured and essentially wise book will come as no surprise to the readers of The Simplicity of Playing the Violin. Of that work Yehudi Menuhin wrote: "This book is to be treasured-containing primordial and essential verities, and providing that celestial 'fix' without which earthly and violinistic navigation is reduced to aimless meandering". And reviewing The Hidden Face of Music in Books & Bookmen, Menuhin wrote: "It restores the deep symbolic value and meaning of music in a day when humanity as a whole finds itself in a peculiarly vulnerable state. refreshing, restoring, wholesome and intellectually infinitely appealing. . His exposition of music as the audible and intuitive form of mathematics; his extraordinary gift for applying his searching approach to the very words, actions and objects of our daily lives restore in the reader that essential recognition and feeling of wholeness without which man or woman, and certainly artist, is indeed a lost soul". It is because this book has such general application to all musicians and to many other thinking people, that it is now reissued in this paperback edition.
