A selection of Hans Keller's writings on Benjamin Britten including
previously unseen correspondence and reprints of long unavailable
writings. It was hearing an early performance of Benjamin Britten's
Peter Grimes that turned the young emigre writer and musician Hans
Keller from psychology to music. Thereafter he became the
composer's most fervent advocate, devoting to him a whole issue of
Music Survey (the journal he edited with Donald Mitchell) and the
first comprehensive book on his music (again edited with Mitchell).
This volume is a selection of the best of his writings, dealing
withPeter Grimesthrough to Death in Venice and the Third String
Quartet. It also includes an illustrated study by A. M. Garnham of
the extensive correspondence between Britten and Keller (most of it
hitherto unknown), areprint of the handbooks on The Rape of
Lucretia and Albert Herring (long out-of-print), and items from the
Hans Keller Archive in the University of Cambridge. The book is
illustrated with drawings from life by Milein Cosman.
