About This Item
Duckworth, Gloucester Crescent, London - 1974 Hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾" (14½cms x 22½cms), with dust jacket Previous owner's surname to endpaper. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket This book offers a full account of the history from the death of Beethoven to 1874. It covers a period of exceptional interest, coinciding roughly with the rise, decline and fall of Romanticism, and including also the various nationalist movements, and the advent of Impressionism and, later, of neo-classicism and the twelve-note system. Not the least useful part of this book is that devoted to contemporary music, and to the works of such composers as Schonberg, Berg, Bartok and their successors.
