Queste pubblicazioni sono dedicate a singoli autori che hanno inciso in modo significativo nel campo della musica strumentale. Pur rimanendo all’interno del campo di interesse del periodico Ad Parnassum, tale confine non rappresenta un limite alla trattazione inerente al compositore di volta in volta considerato; dunque, nonostante la ‘vocazione’ strumentale della rivista, i quaderni intendono considerare la produzione dei singoli autori nella sua completezza.

Vol. 4 - European ‘Fin de siècle’ and Polish Modernism. The Music of Mieczysław Karłowicz
a cura di Luca Sala, Bologna, Ut Orpheus Edizioni 2010 (Ad Parnassum Studies, 4), pp. 430, ISBN: 978-88-8109-467-7.
The volume examines the figure of Mieczysław Karłowicz in the broader sociocultural context which fostered his work. The attempt to contextualize an immense intellectual patrimony — despite being restricted to a tiny number of works when compared to more prolific authors, especially in the context of the XIX and the XX centuries — is always a complex and hazardous task. My primary intention in organizing the volume has been to explicate Karłowicz the man as well as Karłowicz the composer, against the complex background of the European fin-de-siècle. The various essays aim to present the reader with an exhaustive reconstruction of Karłowicz’s intellectual work. Karłowicz’s oeuvre offers a broad artistic portrayal of Poland at the end of the nineteenth century as a fast-evolving country, politically divided and filled with contradictions. Hence the necessity to investigate the fin-de-siècle context with its social and historical implications, showing the influence of the European cultural milieu on the composer’s poetics and on his thought. We shall examine the spectrum of relationships and affinities linking Karłowicz’s works to the Polish cultural world (on the wave of the rising ‘autochthonous’ avant-garde movements) and to the wider cultural life pulsating beyond its borders, with special reference to German Wagnerism and Symphonism. Essentially, we are striving to define the uniqueness of his oeuvre, which — in relation to the manifold influences co-existing in Poland, an insubstantial nation from the political viewpoint and divided along three socio-cultural fronts — could be defined as distinctively Polish, yet ultimately European.

Vol. 5 - Instrumental Music and the Industrial Revolution
a cura di Roberto Illiano e Luca Sala, Bologna, Ut Orpheus Edizioni 2010 (Ad Parnassum Studies, 5), pp. 652, ISBN: 978-88-8109-468-4.
In this volume we wanted to investigate the intersection between the Industrial Revolution and the aesthetic-musical field. In particular, we aimed to explore the European dimension of the cultural exchanges caused by the phenomenon of musical migration, together with the international relationships generated by the music printing industry, entrepreneurship and the market for musical instruments. The later eighteenth and earlier nineteenth centuries were a time of fundamental change in European life, proceeding from the revolutionary implications of the ideologies of Enlightenment, and reverberating in market economies, methods of manufacturing and agriculture, modes of travel, and population distribution. The development of new technologies resulted in the enlargement and improvement of the music printing industry, and in the widespread diffusion of music in private and public spheres. The Industrial Revolution brought about the ‘modernization’ of productive processes and, as a consequence, engendered a kind of ‘globalization’ of the musical market.
