J. A. Fuller Maitland (1856 1936), whose Masters of German Music is
also reissued in this series, was music critic of The Times for 22
years, was the editor of the second edition of Grove's Dictionary
of Music and Musicians, prepared an edition of the Fitzwilliam
Virginal Book, and also worked on Purcell and on folk song. This
biography of Schumann, in the 'Great Musicians' series edited by
Francis Hueffer, was published in 1884, 28 years after its
subject's death. It is dedicated to Schumann's widow, Clara, who
the author consulted, along with Joachim and others; but he also
acknowledges that those hoping for an exhaustive life of Schumann
would be disappointed: 'The time for writing such a life is not yet
come.' Nevertheless, this book contains a survey of Schumann's
compositions as well as his critical writings and a range of
contemporary critical responses to his work.
J. A. Fuller Maitland (1856 1936), whose Schumann in the Novello
'Great Musicians' series is also reissued in this series, had a
wide-ranging interest in music. He was music critic of The Times
for 22 years, was the editor of the second edition of Grove's
Dictionary of Music and Musicians, prepared an edition of the
Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, and also worked on Purcell and on folk
song. This book, published in 1894, surveys the then current state
of German music, with essays on Brahms, Bruch, Goldmark and
Rheinberger. Bruckner is mentioned as a 'Little Master', and
Richard Strauss appears in the final chapter, entitled 'New Paths
(?)' but the surprise for present-day readers is that the composer
fulsomely claimed by Fuller Maitland as the natural successor to
Wagner, Cyrill Kistler, is now almost completely unknown.
