For many reasons Hans Pfitzner was and remains controversial. This
stems partly from his difficult personality, and partly from the
nationalistic context in which are set his cultural beliefs. His
music has also tended to be coloured by such labels as conservative
and romantic. Yet he actually has a wide reputation for his
`musical legend' Palestrina, and there is much in his output which
sets him as the true heir of Wagner and Schumann. This is the first
study in English of Pfitzner's output. It sets his music in the
context of his cultural opinions, which, though conceived as
reflections on music, have acquired a more political status to
which the history of Pfitzner's times has contributed. It offers a
revaluation of his music, partly in order to reveal the innate
value of his stage works, chamber music, and songs, and also to
illustrate the historical importance of his ideas, which reflect a
German conservative tradition which was taken over and nearly
destroyed by the Third Reich.
