Music: styles & genres

Hardback. Arguably no other 19th-century German composer was as literate or as finely attuned to setting verse as Robert Schumann. This book challenges assumptions about Schumann's Lieder, engaging traditionally held interpretations and argues against the belief that the "Year of Song" simply reflects Schumann's personal life. Num Pages: 336 pages, 72 musical examples; 4 tables. BIC Classification: AVG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 634.
