The power of music, the way it works on the mind and heart, remains
an enticing mystery. Now two noted writers on classical music,
Michael Steinberg and Larry Rothe, explore the allure of this
melodious art--not in the clinical terms of social scientists--but
through stories drawn from their own experience. In For the Love of
Music, Steinberg and Rothe draw on a lifetime of listening to,
living with, and writing about music, sharing the delights and
revelatory encounters they have had with Mozart, Brahms,
Stravinsky, and a host of other great (and almost-great) composers.
At once highly personal and immediately accessible, their writings
shed light on those who make music and those who listen to
it--drawing readers into the beautiful and dangerous terrain that
has meant so much to the authors. In recounting how they themselves
came to love music, Steinberg and Rothe offer keys for listening.
You will meet the man who created the sound of Hollywood's Golden
Age and you will learn how composers have addressed issues as
contemporary as AIDS and the terrorist attacks of September 11.
