瓦格纳论指挥

by （德）理夏德·瓦格纳 ...

作者简介：里夏德·瓦格纳，浪漫主义时期德国作曲家、指挥家。理查德·瓦格纳是欧洲浪漫主义音乐达到高潮和衰落时期的具有代表性的作曲家，也是继贝多芬、韦伯以后，德国歌剧舞台上的重要人物。《论指挥》一书是瓦格纳论著的集大成之作，详细阐述了他关于指挥和音乐作品诠释的理论。本书也是指挥艺术的最早的经典著作之一，他的观点和指挥风格影响了众多同辈与后辈指挥家，在指挥艺术史中有着十分重要的地位和意义。此前从未有这样一位音乐大家在纸上写下如此富有洞察力、饱含深意、启迪心灵的基本原理来指导上台表演的音乐家。徐志廉教授的译本是根据纽约 Dover Publications 在1989年出版的英文版翻译而成，此版本是伦敦1887年版本的再版。相信它的面世将为国内的指挥艺术的研究提供一份非常有价值的重要文献。 ...
