Classics on the Run. Musical masterpieces from the Middle Ages to the present day
49.99 €
Why is this book called "Classics on the Run"? Because the masterpieces of European and Russian academic music encoded in QR codes flash like changing landscapes outside the car or train window: then fragments of Berlioz's Fantastique, then roulades from Verdi's virtuoso aria, then the tragic notes of Mussorgsky's Trepak or the grotesque howls of Desyatnikov's Sketches for Sunset... are played. In this way, the entire history of European and Russian culture with its main styles and the ideas reflected in them unfolds before the listener's mental gaze in fast-forward. What is not an exemplary situation for a modern person who wants to absorb the maximum amount of information in the shortest possible time? Besides, the effect of listening to musical fragments by means of QR codes is supplemented in the book by impressions from viewing reproductions of works of fine arts. Many of them were created approximately at the same time as the music, while others are related to it in meaning, although they may belong to a completely different epoch. They enrich and reinforce the impression received from the text and music, making it more encompassing, as if adding to it the visual equivalent of the musical content.
