Now That’s a Coda!
Codas are those extra endings with which composers often conclude one of the movements they have written – be that movement from a symphony, concerto, sonata, string quartet, solo piano…
Maestro Maull takes us into the ambivalent world of compound meter in which composers like Antonín Dvořák play with our senses as they toggle back and forth between organizing sounds…
I just listened to the first episode of this (Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony) and can’t believe how fortunate I was to run across this on Prime. I have heard Maull lecture many times before performances and now here he is right on my computer screen and with the clearest of visual aids. I promise if you listen to one of these you will understand a piece as never before. And, I have discovered from past experiences with his lectures that I always listen to any given piece with a greater connection. These “home” viewings of Maull’s lectures are such a gift! Highly recommended.
