In Bluebeard's Castle (1911), The Wooden Prince (1916/17), The Miraculous Mandarin (1919/24, rev. 1931) and Cantata Profana (1930), Bartók engaged scenarios featuring either overtly grotesque bodies or closely related transformations and violations of the body. In this book, Julie Brown argues that Bartók's concerns with stylistic hybridity (high-low, East-West, tonal-atonal-modal), the body, and the grotesque are inter-connected. All three were thoroughly implicated in cultural constructions of the Modern during the period in which Bartók was composing.
The grotesque is one of art's most puzzling figures - transgressive, comprising an unresolveable hybrid, generally focussing on the human body, full of hyperbole, and ultimately semantically deeply puzzling. In Bluebeard's Castle (1911), The Wooden Prince (1916/17), The Miraculous Mandarin (1919/24, rev. 1931) and Cantata Profana (1930), Bart ngaged scenarios featuring either overtly grotesque bodies or closely related transformations and violations of the body. In a number of instrumental works he also overtly engaged grotesque satirical strategies, sometimes - as in Two Portraits: 'Ideal' and 'Grotesque' - indicating this in the title. In this book, Julie Brown argues that Bart concerns with stylistic hybridity (high-low, East-West, tonal-atonal-modal), the body, and the grotesque are inter-connected. While Bart eveloped each interest in highly individual ways, and did so separately to a considerable extent, the three concerns remained conceptually interlinked. All three were thoroughly implicated in cultural constructions of the Modern during the period in which Bart as composing.

Les Grotesques de la musique est constitué d'un choix de textes de Berlioz (1803-1869) rassemblés par lui-même. Si ce volume est imprégné d'un fervent amour de la musique, c'est pourtant l'ironie du texte qui frappe. Critiques, musiciens, spectateurs, directeurs de salles : nul n'est épargné par la plume espiègle du compositeur. Les Grotesques de la musique constitue une grande et terrible satire du milieu musical. Pour constituer le volume des Grotesques de la musique, Berlioz adopte le même principe que pour Les Soirées de l'orchestre : les trois premiers quarts reprennent le contenu d'articles parus dans le Journal des débats, le dernier quart de la Revue et gazette musicale, en apportant certaines modifications au texte original, ainsi que des corrections et additions. Les Soirées de l'orchestre étaient dédiées « à mes bons amis les artistes de l'orchestre de X***, ville civilisée », que l'on interprète généralement comme « septentrionale ». Le nouvel ouvrage est donc dédié « à mes bons amis les artistes des choeurs de l'Opéra de Paris, ville barbare ». Préparés à partir du mois de janvier 1859, Les Grotesques de la musique sont publiés vers le 8 mars 1859, et rencontrent un grand succès public et critique, « paradoxalement du reste car, pour la plupart des mélomanes, sa prose était aussi plaisante à lire que sa musique difficile à écouter1 ». Selon Gérard Condé, « on ignore l'importance du premier tirage des Grotesques ; on sait seulement qu'il s'en vendit 5 000 exemplaires entre 1871 et 1933, et qu'un édition allemande parut en 1864 ». L'édition originale de 1859 demeure cependant la seule publiée du vivant de son auteur.
The confluence between music and literature, long hymned as sister arts, is a newly burgeoning field of critical inquiry. This innovative collection of interdisciplinary essays provides a valuable introduction to the field, mapping the contours of recent research and investigating the mutual aesthetic influence of the two arts and their common historical ground. The examination of literary works using music as an analogy for literary composition and agent of cultural value, and the consideration of musical works whose structure is derived from literary models will excite the interest of both professional scholars and students in the fields of musicology, literary studies and modern European languages.

This is the first complete translation into English of Berlioz's second collection of musical articles, originally published in 1859. The work is a uniquely Berliozian combination of light-hearted journalism and serious musical comment and analysis.
This is a book both by and about Berlioz, providing not only a translation but also an extensive commentary on his text, dealing with the instruments of Berlioz's time and comparing his instruction with his practice.
Still chiefly known as the extravagant composer of the Symphonie fantastique, Berlioz was an artist caught in the crossfire between the academic classicism of the French musical establishment and the romantic modernism of the Parisian musical scene. He was a thinker in an age that invented both the religion of art and the notion of the 'genius' who preached and practised it. This Companion contains essays by eminent scholars on Berlioz's place in nineteenth-century French cultural life, on his principal compositions (symphonies, overtures, operas, sacred works, songs), on his major writings (a delightful volume of memoires, a number of short stories, large quantities of music criticism, an orchestration treatise), on his direct and indirect encounters with other famous musicians (Gluck, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner), and on his legacy in France. The volume is framed by a detailed chronology of his life and a usefully annotated bibliography.
