Music, the author contends, is a continually evolving art, & there have been no geniuses, however great, who have not been influenced by their predecessors. The great composers are here presented as human beings who lived & related to the real world around them. Schonberg brings the reader closer to identification w/ the composers he discusses & thus closer to an understanding of their music. The book consequently places more emphasis on biographical details & less upon technical analysis of the music. All the important figures in "serious" music (Bach, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Verdi, Wagner, Mahler & many others) are included, their lives woven into a fabric rich in detail & anecdote. There are also chapters on the nationalist schools & the so-called light music of the Viennese Strausses, Sir Arthur Sullivan, Offenbach & others. For this newly designed edition, Schonberg has again extended the book's coverage w/ informative & clearly written descriptions of the later serialists, minimalist composers, & the new tonalists of the 1990s. Scattered throughout are many changes & additions reflecting the wide range of musicological findings of recent decades. An updated bibliography was prepared for this edition, which is also enhanced w/ additional illustrations. What remains unchanged is the character of the book, which remains an engrossing delight throughout to all music lovers & a joy to pick up & read anywhere. * HIGH PRAISE: "A smooth, closely woven sequence of brief biographies & vivid pen-portraits, set in a surrounding continuum of depth & breadth which reflects the author's solid musical erudition, his command of socio-historic background, & his long experience of music in every kind & degree of performance. An omnibus book of this sort is full of potential pitfalls which Mr. Schonberg has side-stepped w/ agility." -NYT * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for our posted below-cost additional fee of $12.00 & to all international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL at our posted rates.
