Teaching Stravinsky

Nadia Boulanger and the Consecration of a Modernist Icon

By: Kimberly A. Francis

In 1929 Nadia Boulanger accepted Igor Stravinsky's younger son, Soulima, as her student. Within two years, Stravinsky and Boulanger merged their artistic spheres, each influencing and enhancing the cultural work of the other until the composer's death in 1971. Teaching Stravinsky tells Boulanger's story of the ever-changing nature of her fractious relationship with Stravinksy. Author Kimberly A. Francis explores how Boulanger's own professional activity during the turbulent twentieth-century intersected with her efforts on behalf of Stravinsky, and how this facilitated her own influential conversations with the composer about his works while also drawing her into close contact with his family. Through the theoretical lens of Bourdieu, and drawing upon over one thousand pages of letters and scores, many published here for the first time, Francis examines the extent to which Boulanger played a foundational role in defining, defending, and ultimately consecrating Stravinsky's canonical identity. She considers how the quotidian events in the lives of these two icons of modernism informed both their art and their professional decisions, and convincingly argues for a reevaluation of the influence of women on cultural production during the twentieth century. At once a story of one woman's vibrant friendship with an iconic modernist composer, and a case study in how gendered polemics informed professional negotiations of the artistic-political fields of the twentieth-century, Teaching Stravinsky sheds new light not only on how Boulanger taught Stravinsky, but also how, in doing so, she managed to influence the course of modernism itself.

By: Paul Francis Kildea

... frequently fascinating book.' -Times Higher Education SupplementThis book explores the effect of commercial and national institutions on the music of one of the foremost British composers of the twentieth century, Benjamin Britten. Radio, the recording industry, government subsidies for the arts, Covent Garden, the post-war establishment of music festivals, were all agents for dramatic changes in the art-music culture which Britten skilfully used to his advantage.

The Intuitive Compass

Why the Best Decisions Balance Reason and Instinct

By: Francis Cholle

A dynamic new way to understand intuition, already implemented around the world at top companies and business schools Neuroscience shows that instinct has a leading role in complex decision-making, yet imaginative play is the most direct means of activating our creativity and problem-solving abilities. Based on over 20 years of Cholle's wide-ranging professional experience and insights, The Intuitive Compass offers a fascinating new approach to innovative problem-solving, decision-making, and sustainable value creation. Through a concept known as Intuitive Intelligence, Cholle shows how anyone can improve creative brainpower by harnessing the balance between reason and instinct. Explores the tension between linear efficiency and random play, and the synergy between reason and instinct Helps us realize our natural tendencies to think holistically, think paradoxically, notice the unusual, or lead by influence Shows these tenets in action through case studies of the luxury house Hermes, Paris; Google and its paradoxical work culture; Virgin America, and its ability to notice the unusual about what matters for consumers and exert leadership in its industry The Intuitive Compass shows how to thrive within chaos and offers actionable information for reinventing our path to sustainable success.

Paradoxically his success with the USA jeopardised his efforts to get Britain into the European Economic Community, for it was one of the reasons why the French President Charles de Gaulle vetoed Britain's application to join in 1963.

The Total Quality Corporation

How 10 Major Companies Turned Quality and Environmental Challenges to Competitive Advantage in the 1990s

By: Francis McInerney,Sean White

This superbly researched, powerfully reasoned book shatters one of the most destructive business myths of our time: that a corporation must choose between higher profits and protection of the environment." "Instead, as the authors demonstrate with compelling case histories of ten spectacular corporate success stories of the 1990s, the opposite is actually true: A corporation that makes the environment a major priority not only reaps a huge harvest on the bottom line, but also gains a vital edge in the unrelentingly competitive marketplace of this decade of cost cutting." "The reason for this is almost staggeringly simple. Pollution of all kinds is just another word for industrial waste, and waste is exactly what no corporation in search of total quality in its product and of complete acceptance by the consumer can afford today." "The Total Quality Corporation also provides a fascinating overview of the growing challenges facing the three major economic regions of the world - Europe, Japan, and America. How corporations respond and how fast they do it will determine who wins in the ever more demanding race for global marketshare. And the race has already started, as is evident in this timely, compelling book."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
