Haydn Studies
The advances in Haydn scholarship would have been unthinkable to earlier generations, who honoured the composer more in word than in deed. Haydn Studies deals with many aspects of a composer who is perennially fresh, concentrating principally on matters of reception, style and aesthetics and presenting many interesting readings of the composer's work. Haydn has never played a major role in accounts of cultural history and has never achieved the emblematic status accorded to composers such as Beethoven, Debussy and Stravinsky, in spite of his radical creative agenda: this volume broadens the base of our understanding of the composer.
Griffith Davies
Dyma gyfrol sy’n croniclo bywyd a gwaith Griffith Davies (1788–1855), o’i blentyndod tlawd yn ardal chwareli Arfon i’w waith fel sefydlydd ysgolion mathemateg yn Llundain cyn gosod sylfaen i’r proffesiwn actiwari. Tri mis yn unig o addysg ffurfiol a dderbyniodd Davies, a dyna pryd y sylweddolwyd fod ganddo allu rhyfeddol mewn mathemateg. Mentrodd i Lundain, ac ar ôl blynyddoedd wedi ymroi i hunan ddysgu cyhoeddodd lyfrau mewn mathemateg, ac yn y pen draw fe’i penodwyd yn brif actiwari i gwmni yswiriant y Guardian yn y ddinas. Wrth i’w yrfa ddatblygu, daeth yn Gymrawd o’r Gymdeithas Frenhinol a derbyniodd glod ac anrhydeddau am ei waith. Bu’n weithgar ym mywyd Cymraeg Llundain gan sefydlu cyfres o ddarlithoedd gwyddonol yn ei famiaith, ac ymgyrchodd yn llwyddiannus dros hawliau tyddynwyr bro ei febyd a thros addysg i’w gyd-wladwyr. Mae hanes bywyd Griffith Davies yn stori sy’n ysbrydoli.

The New Grove Haydn
The son of an 18th century Austrian wheelwright, Haydn is acknowledged for refining the symphony and string quartet and praised for his oratorios and masses. Deeply involved in the evolution of the Classical style, its subsequent growth can be seen in his own music. Indeed, he is considered to be one of the most significant composers of the Classical Period. Under his care the symphony and string quartet came to life, and the oratios and masses of his late years belong to the consummation of the classical spirit in music. This biography of Joseph Haydn is one in a new series of composer biographies, derived and adapted from the second edition of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. These newly written biographies bring the best of the book-length pieces in The New Grove to a wider audience. Each title provides fresh new insights into the life and works of a major composer, derived from the most recent scholarship. In addition to a detailed and informative view of the subject's life and works, written by an expert in the field, each book includes comprehensive, tabular work-lists and a fully revised and updated bibliography.
