Few genres of the last 250 years have proved so crucial to the
course of music history, or so vital to public musical experience,
as the symphony. This Companion offers an accessible guide to the
historical, analytical and interpretative issues surrounding this
major genre of Western music, discussing an extensive variety of
works from the eighteenth century to the present day. The book
complements a detailed review of the symphony's history with
focused analytical essays from leading scholars on the symphonic
music of both mainstream composers, including Haydn, Mozart and
Beethoven and lesser-known figures, including Carter, Berio and
Maxwell Davies. With chapters on a comprehensive range of topics,
from the symphony's origins to the politics of its reception in the
twentieth century, this is an invaluable resource for anyone with
an interest in the history, analysis and performance of the
symphonic repertoire.
