He often viewed the model work as a source that he strove to improve, rival, and even surpass. \u003ci\u003eLiszt's Representation of Instrumental Sounds on the Piano: Colors in Black and White\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive survey of Liszt's reworking of instrumental music on the piano, particularly his emulation of tone colors and idiomatic gestures. The book relatesLiszt's sonic reproductions to the widespread nineteenth-century interest in visual-art reproduction. Hyun Joo Kim illustrates Liszt's diverse approaches to the integrity of the music in a detailed, vivid, and insightful manner through close study of his arrangements of Beethoven's symphonies and Rossini's \u003ci\u003eGuillaume Tell\u003c\/i\u003e Overture, his two-piano arrangements of his own symphonic poems such as \u003ci\u003eMazeppa\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHunnenschlacht\u003c\/i\u003e, and his Hungarian Rhapsodies. By examining orchestral music and Hungarian Gypsy-style music as sources of Liszt's sound representations, this book reveals Liszt's musical discourse as straddling the musical, cultural, and aesthetic divides between mainstream and peripheral, art and folk, serious and popular. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  HYUN JOO KIM holds a PhD from Indiana University and is an independent scholar in Seoul, South Korea.","brand":"Hyun Joo Kim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280356585723,"sku":"9781580469463","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781580469463.jpg?v=1772485069","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/liszts-representation-of-instrumental-sounds-on-the-piano-9781580469463","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
