MUS302H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Franz Liszt, Demigod, Kinderszenen
Document Summary
Love: sentiment pervaded the entire era, longing and despair, not happiness and fulfillment, e. g. , i(cid:374)fo(cid:374)ia fa(cid:374)tasti(cid:395)ue (cid:449)he(cid:396)e su(cid:271)je(cid:272)t"s lo(cid:448)e (cid:449)as u(cid:374)(cid:396)e(cid:395)uited, music expresses the inarticulate depth of emotion, role of the composer, no longer servants to aristocracy. In contrast to mozart where he was a servant, simple people doing their jobs: now a prophet or demigod. Inspires the audience: music morally uplifting and beautiful, music no longer entertainment, but art, people played cards while listening back in 17th century, serious tone in the concert hall. Lyrical and expressive: build to a grandiose climax, phrases. Longer: rhythmically flexible: meters competing against each other. Irregular in shape: mozart vs. berlioz, symphony no. 6, i (classical: simple and clear, played in major key, consonance, almost no dissonance, symphony fantastique, iv (romantic) Lots of dissonance to help you experience emotional intensity: rhythm, flexible and languid, speed up and slow down within seconds, meter can be obscure, have to feel what they are experiencing, rubato.
