In this second volume of nineteenth-century music analyses, Ian
Bent provides a further selection of newly translated writings of
nineteenth-century music critics and theorists, including composers
such as Wagner, Schumann and Berlioz, and critics such as A. B.
Marx and E. T. A. Hoffmann. Where Volume I, on Fugue, Form and
Style, presented nineteen analyses of a technical nature, all the
writing here involves a metaphorical style of verbalised
description, some pure examples, and others hybrid forms mixed with
technical analysis. The music analysed is amongst the best-known in
the repertoire: Wagner writes on Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, E. T.
A. Hoffmann on the Fifth, Schumann writes on Berlioz, and Berlioz
on Meyerbeer. Professor Bent presents each analysis with its own
detailed introduction and each is amplified by supporting
information in footnotes.
