Hardcover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This book comprises an articulate and informed contemporary analysis of "The New Music" by renowned Composer Sir George Dyson. Illustrated with examples of the music under discussion. This is the First Edition. SIR GEORGE DYSON was a noted British composer and musician. His musical productions include symphonies, concertos, choral works, and numerous liturgical works for the Church of England. The book here offered is an entertaining and brilliant, if opinionated and somewhat querulous , study of the state of musical composition in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Calling on the great works of the past, Dyson analyses the structure and direction of works by such composers as Schönberg, Berlioz, Elgar, Holst, and Stravinsky, to name a few major lights. It is clear that Dyson's heart was for the past, and there is a sharp worrying of the direction the "New Music" was taking. TITLE : The New Music AUTHOR : George Dyson (1883 - 1964) IMPRINT : Oxford University Press [Printer: Humphrey Milford] PLACE : London DATE : 1924 EDITION : First Edition PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade Hardcover; has a decorated title page; contains many examples of written music; has an index; 152 pages; approximately 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" ; gray boards with pale blue cloth spine title, etc. lettered in dark blue on spine and front board. CONDITION - NEAR VERY GOOD - This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable with the following imperfections noted : BOARDS : Slight bend to front board near head (not egregious and just-barely-there) - moderate surface rub , mild smudging and small spotting - discoloration along intersection of board and cloth from glue used in construction - mild weathering along board edges, including a bit of off-set toning along the edge of rear board - board edges exhibit various small dings and dents, including a small gouge on the top edge of the front board; corner tips are softly bumped (slight splitting to paper over the tip on the rear bottom corner) SPINE : Slight compression to extremities,- a bit of abrasion to foot and fraying to head - surface a bit smudged or use-darkened.

TEXT-BLOCK EDGES : Toned else clean and unmarked. END PAPERS : Off-set toning to rep, else clean dated signature of previous owner in pencil on front fly-leaf. INTERIOR : I spotted a number of pencil erasures along some margins - these are barely perceptible - the text being , otherwise, clean and presentable with modest signs of use. Here are brief excerpts from Dyson's book wherein he examines and - really - struggles to understand the work of Stravinsky : "The technical address of Stravinsky is beyond all question. There is nothing in the actual handling of musical apparatus that presents the slightest uncertainty to him. His originality and his ingenuity are alike phenomenal. There is also much in his work which is, by any unprejudiced standard, both new and beautiful. But there are the little piano pieces, which not even Stravinsky's most ardent disciples can defend without a twinge." "There are the 'Three Pieces for String Quartet'; Now if this type of passage has any proper place in the art of the string quartet, then the end is near. There are no ideas, musically speaking. It is neither melody, nor rhythm, nor part-writing, nor harmony. It is just so much noise. The notes are recognizable. That he is serious is to be presumed. Are Stravinsky's beautiful and convincing moments only the occasional successes of an unbridled fancy? The alternative that he is sometimes deliberately hoodwinking his public is just as unsatisfactory, and more difficult to believe. Sir George understood that the world was changing, including its music.…
