| Summary: | Describes the Austrian composer, Franz Schubert and the people and events which affected both his personal life and his music. Schubert: his Life and Times is more than just a biography of the Austrian composer. Franz Schubert is brought to life through his own letters and recollections of friends, as well as through facsimile reproductions of his manuscripts and early published editions. There is commentary on Schubert's close freindship with Vogl, his admiration for Beethoven, and his identification with the fashionable Italianism of composers like Rossini. The author traces the development of Schubert's music and early 19th century music-making in Vienna, and examines the kinds of pianos for which Schubert wrote so extensively. The music itself is considered in a general rather than technical way, thus making this book particularly attractive for the general reader or music lover [Publisher description] |
