The five composers represented in this series sit at the core of
the Western art-music tradition, and have received an enormous
amount of critical and scholarly attention. Beethoven and Schubert
worked at the cusp between the Classical style and Romanticism;
Mendelssohn, Schumann and Chopin formed part of what Charles Rosen
called 'The Romantic Generation', a group of composers born around
1810 who could be said to have invented musical modernity. Each of
the five volumes in this series focuses on the work of one of the
four selected composers, and the volume editors have been tasked to
throw their nets as widely as possible, in order to capture not
just the latest scholarly perspectives on this music, but also
older, perhaps less fashionable, but arguably still invaluable
literature. Priority has been given to items in English, but a few
seminal contributions appear either in a foreign language or in
new, previously unpublished translations. Extended introductions
also situate the contents of individual volumes in broad scholarly
contexts. This major reference series is a substantial addition to
scholarly research into the work of the Early Romantic composers,
providing increased access to the published literature for scholars
and students and an invaluable reference source for libraries.
