O knihe

The selection of the composers and classical pieces reviewed and analyzed in this book have stood the test of time and considered to be among the finest Classical Music Masterpieces ever composed.
This book presents a complete descriptive analyses of the structural components that make up these pieces. It defines, for example to a second, when the first and last note of an introduction, theme, bridge-passage, cadenza, coda etc. are played. Consequently the reader will be able to follow, see, hear and understand, from second to second, exactly how and when the component parts were assembled to create a unified masterpiece
This book demonstrates that musical pieces are the products of well-thought-out plans rather than random notes on a page. Much like a blueprint a musical idea is first conceived, documented and then executed to reflect the composer's intention.
Music is a fleeting changing structure which makes it very difficult, or impossible, for the listener to grasp and absorb the multitude of notes occurring simultaneously and at the speed of sound. In order to understand and get the most out of classical music one should first learn about the composer, the period in musical history in which the piece was created and listen to the piece numerous times. Without doing this, one will have very little understanding of what was heard. At best, one may recognize a familiar passage or a touching melody.
These master works are complicated and the more one knows about the piece and how it was constructed the greater will be the enjoyment and appreciation for what the composer created.
This book places emphasis on the technical analysis of the music which will help the reader (listener) identify, understand and appreciate the composition.
