Louis Spohr - A Critical Biography (Book, New ed)

Published in Spohr's 200th anniversary year, this book is the first
to deal at length with both the life and the works of a composer
who exerted a strong influence on the development of
nineteenth-century music. Spohr was hailed in his own day as a
worthy successor to Mozart and Beethoven, yet in the present
century his former renown has gone largely unrecognised. Clive
Brown gives an account of Spohr's life and character, and examines
the areas in which his impact was most profound. He discusses
Spohr's compositions critically and provides a stylistic and
aesthetic assessment of his work. The chronological account of
Spohr's life unfolds in parallel with the description of his
musical output; a final chapter considers the decline of his
reputation after his death. This volume will be of interest not
only to scholars and students but also to general musical readers.
And, since so little of Spohr's very substantial output is
available in modern editions and is seldom performed, the book will
also prove useful to practical musicians in search of worthwhile
music for performance.
