About this title

Synopsis

This book is a collection of excerpts from reviews, commentary and correspondence regarding the music of forty-three composers over a 150-year span, beginning with Beethoven and ending (approximately) with Bart�k, Schoenberg, Shostakovich and Stravinsky. For the most part, the commentary closely follows, in time, the premieres of the works described. (In some cases, this may be years after their original premieres. It often took, in times past, years for the works to get from "the country of origin" to the venues that were the domains of the reviewers and critics.

Reviews

"The music of a demented eunuch," writes one 19th-century critic of Wagner in this remarkable anthology of vitriolic reviews.
