Schumann's Music and E. T. A. Hoffmann's Fiction Hardcover - 2016

by John Macauslan


From the publisher

Four of Schumann's great masterpieces of the 1830s - Carnaval, Fantasiestcke, Kreisleriana and Nachtstcke - are connected to the fiction of E. T. A. Hoffmann. In this book, John MacAuslan traces Schumann's stylistic shifts during this period to offer insights into the expressive musical patterns that give shape, energy and individuality to each work. MacAuslan also relates the works to Schumann's reception of Bach, Beethoven, Novalis and Jean Paul, and focuses on primary sources in his wide-ranging discussion of the broader intellectual and aesthetic contexts. Uncovering lines of influence from Schumann's reading to his writings, and reflecting on how the aesthetic concepts involved might be used today, this book transforms the way Schumann's music and its literary connections can be understood and will be essential reading for musicologists, performers and listeners with an interest in Schumann, early nineteenth-century music and German Romantic culture.

Description:
Cambridge University Press, 2016. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Very Good. A firm and square hardback with sharp corners and strong joints, complete with original dustjacket, just showing a few very minor rubs and light edge-wear, now protected in a clear, removable sleeve. Hence a non-text page has a small 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book is actually in nearly new condition. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and tight. Now offered for sale at a very sensible price.
