'I listen to a piece and ask myself what has made the greatest
impression on me. What has moved me the most about it, what has
excited me the most, what it is I want to write about, what sets my
mind working, what sets off my imagination.' Derrick Puffett's
description to a group of Cambridge graduate students of his
approach to listening and writing about music is clearly evident in
the articles reprinted in this collection. For the first time, the
book makes available in one place writings previously widely
dispersed amongst many journals and symposia. Resonances emerge
that cross from essay to essay, with the result that a larger,
coherent project is revealed. Insistent on the need of music
analysis to be accompanied by a wider historical knowledge, Puffett
believed strongly that the methods to be adopted on each occasion
must be dictated by the music at hand. His work on Bruckner,
Strauss, Webern, Zemlinsky, Delius and Debussy is of enduring
importance to the study of music. With a prose style distinguished
for its elegance and clarity, Puffett's writings will enhance the
understanding and enjoyment of the music that he discusses amongst
students and teachers alike.
