What was the artist's inspiration, and how did that idea become a reality? Cultural products inevitably arise from a context, a submerged landscape that is often not easily accessible. To bring such things to light, studies of the creative process find their cutting edge by probing beyond the surface, opening new perspectives on the apparently familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eIn this intriguing study, William Kinderman opens the door to the composer's workshop, investigating not just the final outcome but the \u003ci\u003eprocess\u003c\/i\u003e of creative endeavor in music. Focusing on the stages of composition, Kinderman maintains that the most rigorous basis for the study of artistic creativity comes not from anecdotal or autobiographical reports, but from original handwritten sketches, drafts, revised manuscripts, and corrected proof sheets. He explores works of major composers from the eighteenth century to the present, from Mozart's piano music and Beethoven's Piano Trio in F to Kurtág's \u003ci\u003eKafka Fragments\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHommage à R.

Revealing the diversity of sources, rejected passages and movements, fragmentary unfinished works, and aborted projects that were absorbed into finished compositions, \u003ci\u003eThe Creative Process in Music from Mozart to Kurtág\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates the wealth of insight that can be gained through studying the creative process.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"William Kinderman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573180596406,"sku":"9780252094286","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780252094286_d9c144e4-129f-421f-a19b-bab625e692b6.jpg?v=1726056220","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-creative-process-in-music-from-mozart-to-kurtag-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
