Schubert's Songs. (Pref. Martin Cooper.) [Mit Faks., Portr. U. Notenbeisp.] (2. Ed., Rev.), Volume 1"Musicians and singers everywhere will welcome the reissue of this standard work which was first published in 1928 and has been out of print for some time. The author, senior music critic for many years on the London Daily Telegraph, was a Schubert specialist; after preliminary chapters on Schubert's style and sentiment, and the poets whose words Schubert used, he goes chronologically through the songs and the famous song cycles--all composed in the narrow space of eighteen years 1811-1828. The book is well indexed; and the few revisions necessary to bring it up to date for modern users have been carried out by the author's successor as Telegraphc critic, Martin Cooper, who has laso contributed a new preface." --Dust jacket |
