http://scriabin.com/etude/ en-us Copyright 2012 Sat, 01 Jan 1938 12:11:24 -0500 It has been my ambition of late years to analyze cer­tain compositions of one of the greatest masters the world ever saw. It is to him I owe the discovery of a new way to expose analytically the construction of the fugue-form, by means of colors and differently shaped notes. http://scriabin.com/etude/1893/07/analysis-and-logic-in-music.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1893/07/analysis-and-logic-in-music.html Musicology The following is a continuation of M. Moszkowski's article in the January Etude but may be read with interest as a separate article. No living composer for the piano is more famous than Moszkowski. In honoring The Etude with the first article he has written in many years we feel that our readers should join with us in making our appreciation more practical by informing as many musical-lovers as possible of this excellent description of the usages at one of the oldest institutions of musical learning in the world. http://scriabin.com/etude/1910/02/methods-and-customs-of-the-paris-conservatoire.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1910/02/methods-and-customs-of-the-paris-conservatoire.html Musicology The time was when history was studied by learn­ing a mass of facts and a long array of dates, a dry chronicle of events rather than the story of men and women who lived, worked, and died, but whose works and aspirations died not with them. To-day we study the man and his deeds. With many of them there is no need for us to go to history to learn of them. Their influence is still felt. Those who labor to-day do their work on lines, in part, at least, laid down by those who worked years ago. Our libraries are full of their creations, from which we can re­create, before our mental visions, the man as once he breathed and lived. One of those characters who made history in his day, whose works still live to make us better and to influence us to high and pure endeavor, was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/wolfgang-amadeus-mozart-january-27-1756december-5-1791.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/wolfgang-amadeus-mozart-january-27-1756december-5-1791.html Musicology Mozart's position in the world of music is abso­lutely unique. There have been other musical prodi­gies, but never one so gifted. There have been others who were composers in their early youth, but none so remarkable. There have been other great music-masters, but none who attained distinction at so immature an age. http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozart-an-appreciation-1.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozart-an-appreciation-1.html Musicology Mozart's position in the world of music is abso­lutely unique.

The histories of the world, of science, or of art, furnish a superabundance of data, to be sure, to assist our imagination; but, to the majority of minds, these data are just data, and nothing more; they do not unveil the picture of the world as it looked before some great mind impressed it with its stamp. http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozarts-genius-by-c-von-sternberg.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozarts-genius-by-c-von-sternberg.html Musicology http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/the-impress-of-mozart-on-musical-history.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/the-impress-of-mozart-on-musical-history.html Musicology By EMIL LIEBLING Mozart was one of those darlings of fortune to whom everything came easy. At a very early age he astounded the world by his precocity in piano-playing, solved most intricate musical problems with perfect ease, and continued through life to produce masterworks which will always maintain for... http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/suggestions-for-programs-from-mozarts-piano-works.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/suggestions-for-programs-from-mozarts-piano-works.html Musicology BY H. A. CLARKE. It may seem rather late in the day to discuss the "Art of Mozart," but, in view of the fact that there is a large and growing class who flippantly dismiss Mozart as old-fashioned or antiquated, it will do no harm, and perhaps may result in... http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/the-art-of-mozart.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/the-art-of-mozart.html Musicology http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozart-literature.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozart-literature.html Musicology http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozart-boy-and-man.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozart-boy-and-man.html Musicology Mozart's name has at times been obscured by the many-colored mists of modern realism and romanti­cism. Signs, however, are not wanting to show that the twentieth century will set the seal of a deeper and broader recognition on his works than has been the case for a long time past. http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/a-mozart-revival.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/a-mozart-revival.html Musicology http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozart-as-a-worker.html http://scriabin.com/etude/1901/12/mozart-as-a-worker.html Musicology
