4.9/5 (34468 ratings)

Description:Considered one of the greatest composers and music critics of the Romantic era, Robert Schumann (1818 1856) played an important role in shaping nineteenth-century German ideas about virtuosity. Forging his career in the decades that saw a surplus of public fascination with the feats and creations of virtuosos (Liszt, Paganini, and Chopin among others), Schumann engaged with instrumental virtuosity not only through his compositions and performances but also through his music reviews and writings about his contemporaries. Ultimately, virtuosity discourse influenced the culture of Western "art music" well beyond the nineteenth century and into the present day. By examining previously unexplored archival sources, Alexander Stefaniak looks at the diverse approaches to virtuosity Schumann developed over the course of his career, revealing several distinct currents in nineteenth-century German virtuosity and the enduring flexibility of virtuosity discourse.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
