Par GRIFFIN MICHAEL. When it comes to musical skill, why is it that some people achieve so much more than others? We are frequently led to believe this is because of a talent hardwired into their DNA. Now, music educator Michael Griffin dismisses that age-old notion in favour of another known factor: practice. His new book, Learning Strategies for Musical Success illustrates how the quantity and quality of practice is the greatest predictor of musical success so that aspiring musicians of all ages and abilities can best bring about expert performance. This inspiring, accessible guide will equip students, teachers, adult learners, and parents with the methods and mindset to improve the likelihood of learning music successfully. 'Deeply impressive - the breadth of research is fascinating!' - Victorian Music Teachers Association 'Terrific...eminently practical...excellent discussion...I came away inspired and excited.' - The Music Trust, Australia 'This book really does deliver' - American Music Teacher 'I can't think of any other book that draws on so many resources to create a new understanding of learning music. Every serious music student, music teacher, and parent of a music student will find important information in this book. Griffin gives clear examples of how concepts are applied that make for enjoyable reading. This book has a potential for making lifelong differences in the lives of music students, parents and teachers.” - Roy Ernst, PhD, LLD Professor Emeritus, Eastman School of Music of The University of Rochester 'A must buy for every music teacher and music student. Bravo on a most stimulating read. This draws together old wisdom and the latest research. I am re-reading this excellent book for the third time, highlighter pen in hand.' 5 stars (Amazon Rank) - William Bruce, Guildhall UK. 'A most stimulating read that has given me a great deal to think about.' - Nicholas Carpenter, Prebendal, UK. 'Fantastic book...simply brilliant!' - Ian Cooper, Norfolk Music Service, UK. 'A must read for all music educators. Michael Griffin has collected lessons from his own experience - which is extensive, and pertinent, recent research to provide a detailed overview of how we learn, and how students can be empowered and trained to become effective, efficient and independent learners. The book is well documented, making it convenient to go on to further reading about the topics of each chapter. The language is concise and easily understood, yet deeply practical and useful.' - 5 stars Robert Adams, Music Educator, New Haven, USA. 'Don't miss this opportunity!' - 5 stars Mary George, USA./ Méthode / Tout Instrument

The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s, musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed, without any regard to copyright law, or royalties paid to the composers who created these musical masterpieces. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won't even notice the difference, other than all the notorious errors being fixed: the covers and typeface look the same, the song list is nearly identical, and the price for our edition is even cheaper than the original! Every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced accurately and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest tunes of all time!

The Melakarta System. Par IYER RADHIKA. Elements of Indian Music introduces the Indian melodic system in an accessible manner within the realm of Western music theory. It demonstrates a new archetype in music composition for composers of any genre, as well as composition teachers and anyone interested in ethnomusicology.This book contains a set of 12 etudes for piano and transcriptions for classical guitar. Each etude is about one minute in length and utilizes notes from a particular Indian scale. An intermediate to advanced skill level is required to perform each etude. Practicing and performing these studies is an excellent way to expand one's musical perspective beyond traditional diatonic scales.Indianmusic has intrigued the West for a long time, but hasn't always been accessible because of the absence of a systematic approach to theory and repertoire. Just as the Western harmonic system is well developed, the Indian melodic system is very advanced and equally established.

Commanditaire L'Etat et l'Opéra National du Rhin Notice Un opéra fantastique d'après le roman d'Alfred Kubin, Die andere Seite Le livret a été tiré de L'Autre côté d'Alfred Kubin, traduction française de Robert Valençay revue par Christian Hubin (José Corti, 2000) Musique de Bruno Mantovani Livret de François Regnault (avec la collaboration de Bruno Mantovani) J'avais lu il y a longtemps L'Autre côté d'Alfred Kubin, dont le titre m'intriguait. J'avais dû voir des illustrations étranges, visiblement expressionnistes, audacieuses et cauchemardesques de l'artiste, et je m'étonnais qu'il eût écrit un roman. Le roman, assez vite, me saisit, puisqu'il racontait comment le héros, qui semble bien n'être autre que l'auteur, car il est comme lui dessinateur et a comme lui vécu à Salzbourg, se fait inviter par un ancien camarade de lycée dans un empire en lointaine Asie dont il est devenu le chef, et qu'il s'en va donc de l'Autre Côté, où commencent les aventures... On me fit rencontrer Bruno Mantovani, qui avait la commande d'un opéra, de la part de Nicholas Snowman, pour l'Opéra du Rhin. Nous nous sommes vus ensuite à plusieurs reprises, et je n'eus pas de mal à m'entendre avec ce compositeur moderne, dont les oeuvres que j'ai écoutées de lui me plaisent, qui connaît comme pas un - et de l'intérieur - toute l'histoire de l'opéra - et qui, en outre, comptait bien éviter quelques-uns des écueils sur lesquels nous tombions d'accord que l'opéra parfois s'échoue : sans mépris pour qui que ce soit, mais sans fausse modestie non plus. J'aimais l'opéra, depuis que j'avais vu Maria Callas en chanter deux, et depuis ma participation cinq ans comme dramaturge, ou ne je sais quoi, avec Patrice Chéreau à Bayreuth, et j'avais écrit un livret pour Georges Aperghis, avec qui j'ai eu le bonheur de travailler plusieurs fois. Sans parler d'un autre livret pour un autre opéra à venir. Mais étant essentiellement introduit dans le théâtre, je mesurai combien Mantovani sait que l'amour du théâtre, dont il est un excellent spectateur, est bien souvent le schibboleth qui départage les grands compositeurs d'opéra des autres. Le sujet On ne trouve pas forcément tout de suite un sujet de livret, et ensuite, on ne trouve pas forcément le livret de ce sujet. Nous envisagions quelques pistes, nous nous y engagions, et puis nous n'allions pas loin, ou c'était sans issue. D'entrée de jeu, nous étions convenus d'éviter la reprise d'un mythe ancien, fût-il grec ou amérindien, nous mesurions l'extrême difficulté de trouver un mythe moderne - cela ne s'invente pas - et nous répugnions aussi à prendre un sujet qui s'appliquât à l'actualité politique, faute de certitudes, ou plutôt par la conviction qu'on ne traite pas aisément des malheurs du monde, ou du moins, pas aussi frontalement que certains se l'imaginent. Les Soldats de Zimmermann, par exemple, parviennent à une telle portée esthétique et politique parce qu'il est passé par une pièce de Lenz, qui raconte des événements du XVIIIe siècle, Helmut Lachenmann est parvenu à une oeuvre poignante et d'une extrême beauté avec sa Petite Marchande d'allumettes pour parler du gauchisme, à partir d'un écrit de Gudrun Ensslin, parce qu'il est passé par un conte d'Andersen et par des textes de Léonard de Vinci. Je me suis alors souvenu de L'Autre côté, que j'ai relu, et Bruno et moi sommes vite tombés d'accord que cette oeuvre pouvait d'autant plus fortement nous inspirer que l'atmosphère d'inquiétante étrangeté, de fantastique et de décrépitude, très réussie, dans laquelle l'oeuvre est plongée, était au service d'une cause imaginaire, fabuleuse, invraisemblable, mais qui pouvait fonctionner comme une grande et terrible allégorie politique : l'Empire du Rêve, créé de toutes pièces par un richissime illuminé, Claus Patera, condisciple, donc, du dessinateur, constitué par des restes ramassés ou aux quatre coins du monde, dans une région nauséeuse et miasmatique, dont l'idéal promis au début se révèle vite une imposture, sans qu'on sache à qui la faute, car on apprendra que le dictateur lui-même, qu'on ne voit presque jamais, n'y croit plus guère, et combine dans sa personne les traits d'une adolescence angélique, d'une sénilité précoce et d'une espèce de déphasage complet d'avec ce qui se passe dans son Empire. Et pourtant, ce n'est pas faute qu'il n'ait des partisans fanatiques dans la population bizarre de la ville de Perle, capitale de l'Empire. Lorsqu'un Américain tout aussi richissime viendra prendre le défi de le renverser et de s'arroger le gouvernement de l'Empire, peut-être convient-il que vous n'y voyiez pas aussitôt quelque arrangement d'événements récents, non seulement parce que ce roman fut écrit en 1908, avant même ceux de Kafka (que Kubin rencontra d'ailleurs plusieurs fois, et qui restait perplexe devant L'Autre côté), mais aussi parce que l'imaginaire fantastique et la vision poétique de l'auteur viennent hanter le récit de formes et de couleurs venues d'un autre monde : des profondeurs de l'inconscient, sûrement, à une époque où on lui en supposait encore - du fond d'une Angoisse dont on devine que l'auteur est incessamment traversé - mais surtout d'une capacité plastique de rêverie qui franchit constamment la barrière supposée étanche entre l'écriture et le dessin - et si Kubin ne manque pas d'illustrer son propre livre, lui aussi, d'inquiétants dessins étranges, on admire d'autant plus sa virtuosité que les deux techniques qu'il pratique ici de conserve se défendent très bien chacune indépendamment l'une de l'autre. Comme Holbein illustrant Erasme, comme le Goethe du Voyage d'Italie, comme Kipling s'illustrant ses Histoires comme ça, rares exemples. Le livret Je me suis vite dit que ce serait évidemment à la musique de prendre en charge l'imaginaire et le fantastique, et que les indications scéniques du livret, issues toutes du livre, ne seraient là que pour suggérer ce que le compositeur pouvait lire aussi bien que moi dans l'ouvrage. Mais je me suis dit aussi que puisqu'il y aurait des personnages - nous en avons réduit le nombre - et qu'ils parleraient, c'est-à-dire chanteraient, il fallait prendre le plus grand soin qu'avec assez peu de paroles, on puisse suivre exactement l'histoire, la psychologie des personnages principaux (et ici j'utilise à dessein le vocabulaire le plus conventionnel, non pas pour rassurer le réactionnaire et inquiéter l'avant-gardiste, mais parce que chanter des paroles est la matière même de l'opéra), le cours des événements, en même temps que les transformations, métamorphoses, catastrophes et l'apocalypse d'un Empire démoniaque, suscitées sans doute, au-delà de son tyran, par des forces innommables. Si je lui faisais parfois part des représentations musicales ou rythmiques de certaines scènes qu'il avait la gentillesse d'écouter et de transposer dans son art, Bruno Mantovani était en retour plus qu'attentif à la moindre des répliques à mettre en musique, entendant d'une oreille de théâtre ce qui peut se dire, se chanter, se mi-dire, etc. (il y a bien des façons, depuis longtemps, dans l'opéra ou dans le théâtre musical, de dialectiser en musique la différence du parler et du chanter, opposition qui reste opératoire dans son principe, mais qui s'ouvre depuis au moins Schönberg à des variations infinies). Pour la composition d'ensemble, je sais combien l'harmonie, le contrepoint éventuel (il y a un choral !), le rythme, les timbres peuvent, chez un musicien exigeant, s'engendrer, sinon se déduire, à partir de structures simples ou complexes, de sorte que l'écriture, et, donc aussi la perception, consciente ou inconsciente, d'une oeuvre ne se fassent pas au seul fil du récit, ni en fonction du seul effet, même si, au dire de plusieurs compositeurs que j'admire, l'opéra, par sa nature théâtrale, sa spatialité et sa temporalité spécifiques, demande moins de rigueur apparente que d'autres formes d'écriture. Aussi n'ai-je pu m'empêcher, même dans ce qui n'est que le livret, de suivre ou de m'imposer des structures, elles, fort simples, dans l'organisation des scènes, de leurs rapports de ressemblance ou de dissemblance, de leurs correspondances thématiques, - contrastes, répétitions, citations, allusions - d'autant que la fable principale conte la substitution symétrique, jusque dans son affrontement corporel, entre le Maître de l'Empire et l'Américain qui le renverse. L'hybride Il était aisé, en ce sens, de diviser l'oeuvre en deux actes (même si le roman a davantage de parties et de nombreux chapitres), avec un Prologue et un Epilogue : grandeur et décadence de l'Empire du Rêve, conclura-t-on, même si l'intérêt de ce conte est justement de montrer que tout est déjà pourri dans le Royaume de Perle, et que le salut venu d'ailleurs ne fait que liquider la pourriture ! Oui, l'oeuvre de Kubin, aussi bien dessinée qu'écrite (il a écrit plusieurs autres nouvelles), est foncièrement pessimiste. Lorsqu'il a constaté, moins l'horreur du monde que la capacité qu'a le sommeil de la raison d'enfanter des monstres, pour reprendre la formule de Goya, un peintre qu'il aimait, il lui reste à les lâcher en les dessinant. Si Dieu a créé le monde, Claudel pensait qu'il fallait le lui restituer en louange et en poésie, ou en drames dans lesquels le pire ne fût pas toujours sûr. Si le Diable a fait le monde, dirai-je que Kubin pense qu'il faut lui restituer l'histoire de ses calamités et lui tendre le miroir de ses immondices ' La dernière phrase de L'Autre Côté nous donne une étrange réponse : Le démiurge est un être hybride. Tout un roman de quelques centaines de pages pour parvenir à cette phrase peu claire, digne des Gnostiques des premiers siècles du Christianisme ! Mais la phrase peut aussi bien s'éclairer de ce qu'on a dit : puisque le monde semble mauvais, il faut au moins, pour que le pire n'en soit pas toujours le plus sûr, muni de son carnet de croquis, en faire le relevé régulier, en tenant par l'art le malheur à distance, et en mesurant constamment que le démiurge qui a raté le monde, ne pouvait pas faire mieux, qu'il y a en lui du meilleur et du pire, en bref qu'il est hybride ! Mais hybride après tout comme l'homme lui-même, sa victime et son destinataire - ou plutôt, son dessinateur ! Claus Patera, est en effet un personnage dont on ne sait s'il a gardé son innocence ou s'il est déjà complètement abîmé, intrinsèquement, physiquement et spirituellement hybride, à mi-chemin entre le réel et l'irrationnel, habité de forces obscures ou de pulsions obscènes et morbides, mais l'Américain Hercule Bell, un peu décrit comme un Américain digne de Jules Verne, est pris lui aussi dans une dangereuse oscillation entre le philanthrope vantard et le tyran sanguinaire ! Si donc a lieu le Jugement dernier, car aucune apocalypse n'est à écarter, à défaut de nos fautes, nous montrerons nos pulsions, et pour défendre notre prochain ne sachant dessiner, nous arborerons les illustrations par nous de ce monde où nous avons été jetés. Et si le feu ou le déluge anéantissent toutes choses, peut-être restera-t-il au moins quelque part un trait sur le papier, carbonisé ou délavé. A l'ancien camarade de classe, au dictateur hybride, à cet Américain sauveur lui-même si douteux, et qui font couple à la fin dans une espèce de répugnant coït, s'ajoutent donc le couple principal, Kubin - nous l'avons appelé ainsi, bien que l'auteur de le nomme pas - et sa femme. Nous avons, autour d'eux, réduit à trois les personnages qui les entourent, le Coiffeur-philosophe, qui leur sous-loue un appartement, l'Editeur qui passe un contrat avec le dessinateur, et le médecin Lampenbogen, qui soignera Madame Kubin et accompagnera le mari veuf jusqu'à la fin. Les autres personnages sont des comparses, mais il y a le Choeur, qui a une grande importance, et qui compose le peuple entier de Perle, versatile, monstrueux, prêt à tout, morbide et orgiaque, auxquels s'ajoutent mammifères, serpents et insectes, qui sont peut-être des hallucinations, mais dans un monde fantastique, le cauchemar et la réalité se confondent. Le dessinateur La fin de l'aventure se solde pour Kubin par un rapatriement suivi d'un internement. Il serait alors aisé d'en conclure, comme on le fait souvent dans des cas semblables, que toute cette aventure n'aura été qu'une immense hallucination. Outre que ce n'est pas l'idée d'Alfred Kubin, l'auteur réel du livre, cela ne changerait guère la représentation qui en résulterait sur la scène d'un opéra, où ce qu'on voit, que ce soit la vision d'un Faust ou celle d'un Hoffmann, passe forcément pour réel. Le public ne croit que ce qu'il voit et ce qu'il entend, plus qu'ailleurs, il croit tout ce qu'il voit et tout ce qu'il entend, et c'est lui qui a raison. Surtout, j'aime fort que les dernières paroles de Kubin reviennent à dire que désormais, il passe ses meilleures heures avec du papier, des crayons et des bâtons d'encre de Chine... plus proche de l'artiste rêveur, du voyant... Et ce qu'il représentera désormais s'inspirera donc de cette espèce de cosmologie duelle qu'il évoque à propos de Patera : L'attraction et la répulsion... les pôles de la terre... le jours et la nuit... le blanc et le noir... Le blanc et le noir ! Voilà tout le manifeste esthétique de l'illustrateur expressionniste à qui nous devons, disséminées dans des musées et des livres, ces gravures, reconnaissables entre toutes, devant lesquelles nous nous défendons mal d'un malaise devant les souffrances aisément devinables d'un artiste plus écorché que les autres - la guérison par l'art ' Sa vie, racontée par Kubin lui-même ne nous incite pas à conclure ainsi. Là où nous sommes confrontés à la névrose étrangère et toute constituée, écrit Freud à peu près à l'époque même où Kubin écrit L'Autre côté, dans la vie nous appellerons le médecin et tiendrons la figure pour inapte à la scène. Pourtant, sans remontrer à Jérôme Bosch, à Goya, en tout cas à tous ceux que Kubin admira, jusqu'à Odilon Redon et James Ensor, une bonne partie des oeuvres offensives du XXe siècle n'ont-elles pas consisté, malgré les réticences de Freud, à tirer un peu de jouissance de beaucoup de souffrance, et sans réveiller en nous forcément sadisme et masochisme, à nous inviter, à défaut de pâmoisons devant la beauté, ou de complaisances avec la douleur, à de la compassion devant cette souffrance ' L'oeuvre de Kubin n'est pas exempte de bonté lorsqu'il prend pour finir pitié de son persécuteur moribond, et qu'il va jusqu'à trouver de la beauté à son cadavre : L'image d'un dieu antique ! Comme il est beau ! - mais il y a encore, dans cette oeuvre, une autre source de plaisir dont nous souhaitons que l'opéra la fasse aussi sourdre pour le spectateur, c'est une espèce d'humour rocambolesque et glauque qui rend souvent les pulsions des personnages burlesques, leur sexualité, franchement saugrenue, leurs extases, ridicules ! Telles sont quelques-unes des questions que le musicien et le librettiste se sont d'abord posées, avant le metteur en scène Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota, qui a si intimement adhéré au projet aussitôt qu'il l'a connu et qui y a fait entrer de plain pied ses collaborateurs - telle est cette étrange entreprise qu'il nous plaît à tous trois de regarder encore aujourd'hui comme risquée. Vérifier que le public voudra bien courir le risque avec nous est notre plus cher désir. François Regnault Presse Bruno Mantovani aborde, à bientôt trente-deux ans, son premier opéra avec l'ambition de rendre au fantastique du roman d'Alfred Kubin (1877-1959) sa force originale et son étrangeté narrative. L'Autre côté, fable sans morale, met en scène l'Empire du rêve, absurde refuge contre tout progrès, qui plonge dans le chaos après avoir été soustrait à la dictature de son chef Patéra. Récit admirable et visionnaire, accompagné par l'auteur d'effrayantes illustrations, il a marqué l'Europe centrale littéraire et artistique du début du XXe siècle. Bruno Mantovani, associé au dramaturge François Regnault et au metteur en scène Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota, cherche à rendre le mouvement perpétuel de cet effondrement. L'orchestre y est vaste et brillant, incluant six percussions dont le rôle est d'élargir l'espace sonore. Le choeur - cette masse grouillante proche des images apocalyptiques de Kubin - mobilise et anime la scène. Les rôles solistes enfin se répartissent autour du narrateur, Alfred Kubin lui-même, personnage central emporté dans ce drame sans fin. Cette création mondiale constitue l'élément fédérateur du portrait consacré au jeune compositeur français par Musica, en collaboration avec l'Opéra national du Rhin. Musica Antoine Gindt
