Description

Unmasking Ravel: New Perspectives on the Music fills a unique place in Ravel studies by combining critical interpretation and analytical focus. From the premiere of his works up to the present;Ravel has been associated with masks and the related notions of artifice and imposture. This has led scholars to perceive a lack of depth in his music and; consequently; to discourage investigation of his musical language. This volume balances and interweaves these modes of inquiry. Part 1; "Orientations and Influences;" illuminates the sometimes contradictory aesthetic; biographical; and literary strands comprising Ravels artistry and our understanding of it. Part 2; "Analytical Case Studies;" engages representative works from Ravels major genres using a variety of methodologies; focusingon structural process and his complex relation to stylistic convention. Part 3; "Interdisciplinary Studies;" integrates musical analysis and art criticism; semiotics; and psychoanalysis in creating novel methodologies. Contributors include prominent scholars of Ravels and fin-de-siegrave;cle music: Elliott Antokoletz; Gurminder Bhogal; Sigrun B. Heinzelmann; Volker Helbing; Steven Huebner;Peter Kaminsky; Barbara Kelly; David Korevaar; Daphne Leong; Michael Puri; and Lauri Suurpauml;auml;. Peter Kaminsky is Professor of Music at the University of Connecticut; Storrs.
