Symphonic Music, Its Evolution Since the Renaissance (Hardcover)

A history and analysis of the development of symphonic forms and
literature with due regard given to the various periods of music,
of concurrent world events, and to the growth of the orchestra. The
author discusses symphonic music from the seventeenth century to
the present day. His analyses of the works and lives of and
influences upon the musical giants are quite detailed; his comments
on lesser composers are proportionately limited, and he attempts to
give a full picture of the current scene rather than a deep
analysis. This is a good book for music lovers with some background
and seems best suited to serve as reading in connection with a
course on symphonic music or music in general, as analyses mean
more when there is familiarity with the music analyzed. (Kirkus
Reviews)
This book attempts to survey this large field afresh, and to do so
in connected, chronological fashion. It takes notice of the fact
that concertos, overtures, ballets, and suits- often overlooked or
minimized in other books on symphonic music- are also parts of the
literature.
