Random information on the term “Masterwork”:
Artistic merit is the artistic quality or value of any given work of art, music, film, literature, sculpture or painting.
The 1921 US trial of James Joyce’s novel Ulysses concerned the publication of the Nausicaa episode by the literary magazine The Little Review, which was serializing the novel. Though not required to do so by law, John Quinn, the lawyer for the defence, decided to produce three literary experts to attest to the literary merits of Ulysses, as well as The Little Review's broader reputation. The first expert witness was Philip Moeller, of the Theatre Guild, who interpreted Ulysses using the Freudian method of unveiling the subconscious mind, which prompted one of the judges to ask him to “speak in a language that the court could understand”. The next witness was Scofield Thayer, editor of The Dial, another literary magazine of the time, who “was forced to admit that if he had had the desire to publish Ulysses he would have consulted a lawyer first—and not published it”. The final witness was English novelist, lecturer, and critic John Cowper Powys, who declared that Ulysses was a “beautiful piece of work in no way capable of corrupting the minds of young girls”. The editors were found guilty under laws associated with the Comstock Act of 1873, which made it illegal to circulate materials deemed obscene in the U.S. mail, incurred a $100 fine, and were forced to cease publishing Ulysses in The Little Review. It was not until the 1933 case United States v. One Book Called Ulysses that the novel could be published in the United States without fear of prosecution.
Random information on the term “OPUS”:
In musicology, the opus number is the “work number” that is assigned to a musical composition, or to a set of compositions, to indicate the chronological order of the composer’s production. Opus numbers are used to distinguish among compositions with similar titles; the word is abbreviated as “Op.” for a single work, or “Opp.” when referring to more than one work.
To indicate the specific place of a given work within a music catalogue, the opus number is paired with a cardinal number; for example, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor (1801, nicknamed Moonlight Sonata) is “Opus 27, No. 2”, whose work-number identifies it as a companion piece to “Opus 27, No. 1” (Piano Sonata No. 13 in E-flat major, 1800–01), paired in same opus number, with both being subtitled Sonata quasi una Fantasia, the only two of the kind in all of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas. Furthermore, the Piano Sonata, Op. 27 No. 2, in C-sharp minor is also catalogued as “Sonata No. 14”, because it is the fourteenth sonata composed by Ludwig van Beethoven.
