Reseña del editor:
In this new edition, Harold Schonberg offers music lovers a series of fascinating biographical chapters. Music, the author contends, is a continually evolving art, and all geniuses, unique as they are, were influenced by their predecessors. Schonberg discusses the lives and works of the foremost figures in classical music, among them Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, the Schumanns, Copland, and Stravinsky, weaving a fabric rich in detail and anecdote. He also includes the creators of light music, such as Gilbert and Sullivan and the Strausses. Schonberg has extended the volume's coverage to provide informative and clearly written descriptions of the later serialists such as Stockhausen and Carter, the iconoclastic John Cage, the individualistic Messiaen, minimalist composers, the new tonalists, and women composers of all eras, including Mendelssohn Hensel, Chaminade, Smyth, Beach, and Zwilich. Scattered throughout are many changes and additions reflecting musicological findings of the past fifteen years.

Music, the author contends, is a continually evolving art, & there have been no geniuses, however great, who have not been influenced by their predecessors. The great composers are here presented as human beings who lived & related to the real world around them. Schonberg brings the reader closer to identification w/ the composers he discusses & thus closer to an understanding of their music. The book consequently places more emphasis on biographical details & less upon technical analysis of the music. All the important figures in "serious" music (Bach, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Verdi, Wagner, Mahler & many others) are included, their lives woven into a fabric rich in detail & anecdote. There are also chapters on the nationalist schools & the so-called light music of the Viennese Strausses, Sir Arthur Sullivan, Offenbach & others. For this newly designed edition, Schonberg has again extended the book's coverage w/ informative & clearly written descriptions of the later serialists, minimalist composers, & the new tonalists of the 1990s. Scattered throughout are many changes & additions reflecting the wide range of musicological findings of recent decades. An updated bibliography was prepared for this edition, which is also enhanced w/ additional illustrations. What remains unchanged is the character of the book, which remains an engrossing delight throughout to all music lovers & a joy to pick up & read anywhere. * HIGH PRAISE: "A smooth, closely woven sequence of brief biographies & vivid pen-portraits, set in a surrounding continuum of depth & breadth which reflects the author's solid musical erudition, his command of socio-historic background, & his long experience of music in every kind & degree of performance. An omnibus book of this sort is full of potential pitfalls which Mr. Schonberg has side-stepped w/ agility." -NYT * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for our posted below-cost additional fee of $12.00 & to all international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL at our posted rates.
