In Chamber Music: An Extensive Guide for Listeners, Lucy Miller
Murray transforms her decades of program notes for some of the
world's most distinguished artists and presenters into the go-to
guide for the chamber music novice and enthusiast. Offering
practical information on the broad array of chamber music works
from the Classical, Romantic, and Modern periods-and an artful
selection from the Baroque period of Johann Sebastian Bach's
works-Chamber Music: An Extensive Guide for Listeners is both the
perfect reference resource and chamber music primer for listeners.
Covering over 500 works, Murray surveys in clear and simple
language the historical and musical impact of some 130 composers-20
of them living. Notably, Chamber Music includes the complete string
quartets of Beethoven, Bartok, and Shostakovich, as well as 35
piano trios of Haydn. It also provides critical information and
assessments of works by composers not nearly so well known, both
past and present. Entries appear in alphabetical order by composer,
and, in every instance, give a brief introduction to the composer's
life and work. Of particular interest are the brief spotlight
contributions, from well-known figures in the chamber music world,
who focus on the performance experience or offer special knowledge
of the works. This work is an ideal introduction and reference for
students and scholars, new listeners, and enthusiasts of the
chamber music tradition in Western music. Special contributors
include: * Charles Abramovic * James Bonn * Michael Brown * Eugene
Drucker * James Dunham * Daniel Epstein * Ralph Evans * Jeremy Gill
* Jake Heggie * Paul Katz * Bert Lucarelli * Stuart Malina * Robert
Martin * Peter Orth * Jann Pasler * Susan Salm * David Shifrin *
Peter Sirotin/Ya-Ting Chang * Arnold Steinhardt * Kenneth Woods *
David Yang * Phillip Ying
