Robert Schumann and the Piano Concerto (Hardcover, New)

Robert Schumann was a unique personality in 19th century music: a celebrated music critic and champion of new composers as well as a talented performer and composer himself, he did much to modernize the literature and performance style for the piano. This book covers the key period of c. 1815-55, exploring how the generation that came after Beethoven was central in reshaping and refining the conception of the concerto style, and particularly the piano concerto. It relates Schumann's own compositional development to his musical environment, recreating the exciting milieu in which Schumann and his contemporaries lived and worked. Written in scholarly, but non-technical language, "Robert Schumann and the Development of the Piano Concerto" will appeal to college and conservatory teachers and students, as well as music connoisseurs. Also includes 60 musical examples.
