Book Description
In this second volume of selections from the author's journalism, the maverick English composer directs his enquiring mind at the music being composed in France, Germany, Italy and elsewhere in the first half of the twentieth century. Richard Strauss figures prominently among the composers discussed, beginning with reviews of Hallé and Queen's Hall concerts in 1907 and 1910. But even Strauss was not treated as lavishly as another whose music clearly fascinated the author clearly: Arnold Schoenberg. From Gurrelieder to the Violin Concerto, the author emerges as one of Schoenberg's most sympathetic and understanding champions among the English critical fraternity in the inter-War period. Other composers featured include Bartók, Berg, Busoni, Debussy, Dohnányi, Dukas, Glazunov, Grieg, Hindemith, Kilpinen, Lehár, Mahler, Messager, Puccini, Rachmaninov, Ravel, Respighi, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Sousa, Stravinsky, Szymanowski, Tailleferre and Varèse, as well as figures now obscure such as Alfred Bruneau, August Bungert, César Géloso and Wilhelm Kienzl. Among the author's writings on American music, a selection of which rounds off the book, is an interview with 'the March King', John Philip Sousa, whose music the author wholeheartedly enjoyed. Over 160 different items written over the four decades between 1907 and 1945: articles, reviews and extracts from the author's column 'On the Other Hand' in Musical Opinion, make up this volume. The author's open mind makes him an illuminating and entertaining guide to the music he is writing about. The editor's introductions and annotations provide the background to each piece and cast light on the author's more obscure references.
