ダウンロード Playing by Ear: Reflections on Sound and Music mobi 本

In this collection of essays, legendary theatre director Peter Brook reflects on the role of music in theatre and performance and revisits some of the best-known productions from his long and distinguished career, including Titus Andronicus, Don Giovanni, The Magic Flute, and The Prisoner. In his prologue, Brook writes, &;As Orpheus discovered, every animal can respond to sounds. For us, the living question is &;Which sounds? What music?&; In this book we will try to explore together the infinite range of experiences that can sometimes touch us deeply, sometimes leave us cold.&; With topics ranging from how to evoke &;true listening&; to the relationship between words and music to the &;living presence&; of silence, Brook&;s ever-inquisitive and questing mind invites the reader to pay greater attention to the rhythms and melodies present on stage and in life.
