Though considered a definitive contribution to the genre during his lifetime, his concertos, sonatas, and suites were then virtually ignored for nearly two centuries following his\u003cbr\u003edeath. Yet these works are now among the most popular in the baroque repertory. In \u003cem\u003eMusic for a Mixed Taste\u003c\/em\u003e, Steven Zohn considers Telemann's music from stylistic, generic, and cultural perspectives. He investigates the composer's cosmopolitan mixed taste--a blending of the French, Italian, \u003cbr\u003eEnglish, and Polish national styles-and his imaginative expansion of this concept to embrace mixtures of the old (late baroque) and new (\u003cem\u003egalant\u003c\/em\u003e) styles. Telemann had an equally remarkable penchant for generic amalgamation, exemplified by his pioneering role in developing hybrid types such as the\u003cbr\u003esonata in concerto style (Sonate auf Concertenart) and overture-suite with solo instrument (Concert en ouverture). Zohn examines the extramusical meanings of Telemann's characteristic overture-suites, which bear descriptive texts associating them with literature, medicine, politics, religion, \u003cbr\u003eand the natural world, and which acted as vehicles for the composer's keen sense of musical humor. Zohn then explores Telemann's unprecedented self-publishing enterprise at Hamburg, and sheds light on the previously unrecognized borrowing by J.S. Bach from a Telemann concerto. \u003cem\u003eMusic for a Mixed\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTaste\u003c\/em\u003e further reveals how Telemann's \u003cem\u003estyle polonaise\u003c\/em\u003e generates musical and social meanings through the timeless oppositions of Orient-Occident, urban-rural, and serious-comic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Zohn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190247850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteven Zohn\u003c\/strong\u003e is Laura H.
