Softcover. Condition: gut. Kleinformatige kartonierte Broschur. Der Kopfschnitt leicht berieben, Exlibrisstempel auf Vortitel, ansonsten guter Erhaltungszustand. "Mit dem verminderten Septakkord - dem Musiker als Leser weiten sich die Pupillen, und er spitzt unwillkürlich die Ohren - ist immer ein sehr schöner Effekt zu erzielen…, das ist bekannt. Mit dem verminderten Septakkord kann man etwas veranstalten, was längst nicht mit jedem Akkord möglich ist: nämlich jede Tonart des Quintenzirkels zu modulieren. Wie das geschieht und warum das soviel Spaß machen kann, darauf - und auf viele andere Fragen mehr - weiß Imogen Holst in ihrem kleinen Führer 'Das ABC der Musik' immer eine Antwort. Die Besonderheit ihrer Antworten besteht stets darin, dass sie alle übliche musikwissenschaftliche Kauderwelscherei vermissen lassen. "Das liegt an der pädagogischen Fähigkeit und dem klaren Stil der Autorin, die sich vorgenommen hat, gewissermaßen die Bömmelsche Urhaltung gegenüber dem Phänomen der 'Dampfmaschin' als Prinzip der Erklärung zu etablieren: 'Da stellen wir uns mal janz dumm.' Solcherart handelt sie mühelos von Grundbegriffen, Harmonik, Formen und Instrumenten in der Musik. Sie langweilt dabei den Fachmann ebenso wenig wie sie dem wissbegierigen Laien stets hilfreich zur Seite steht. Jeder neu auftauchende Begriff ist fett gedruckt, die Suche nach ganz speziellen Antworten auf ganz spezielle Probleme erleichtert zudem ein gutes Register. Das Büchlein passt zudem - ein nicht zu unterschätzender Vorzug - in jede kleine Konzerthandtasche." -- Stuttgarter Zeitung Imogen Claire Holst (* 12. April 1907 in Richmond upon Thames (Surrey); ? 9. März 1984 in Aldeburgh, Suffolk) war eine englische Komponistin, Dirigentin und Musikschriftstellerin. Holst ? Tochter des Komponisten Gustav Holst und seiner Ehefrau Isobel Harrison ? besuchte die St Paul?s Girls School in Hammersmith und studierte am Royal College of Music in London. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs arbeitete sie von 1941 bis 1944 als Organisatorin beim Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts und von 1943 bis 1951 als musikalische Leiterin beim Arts Centre in der Dartington Hall School. 1952 ging Holst als Mitarbeiterin von Benjamin Britten nach Aldeburgh und wurde 1956 künstlerische Leiterin des dortigen Festivals. 1953 gründete sie die Purcell Singers, deren Dirigentin sie bis 1967 war. Von ihren Schriften wurde vor allem die Biographie ihres Vaters bekannt. Weitere Bücher von ihr befassen sich mit mittelalterlicher Musik, Volks-, Renaissance- und Barockmusik. Außer zu ihrem Vater schrieb sie Biographien zu William Byrd, Henry Purcell, Johann Sebastian Bach und Benjamin Britten. Als Komponistin hinterließ Imogen Holst ein umfangreiches Werk, das instrumentale, vokale und orchestrale Genres umfasst. Ebenso vielseitig arbeitete sie als Arrangeurin. (Wikipedia) In deutscher Sprache. 222, (2) pages. 12° (98 x 148mm).
