Distant Cycles
Franz Schubert's song cycles Schone Mullerin and Winterreise are cornerstones of the genre. But as Richard Kramer argues in this book, Schubert envisioned many other songs as components of cyclical arrangements that were never published as such. By carefully studying Schubert's original manuscripts, Kramer recovers some of these "distant cycles" and accounts for idiosyncrasies in the songs which other analyses have failed to explain. Returning the songs to their original keys, Kramer reveals linkages among songs which were often obscured as Schubert readied his compositions for publication. His analysis thus conveys even familiar songs in fresh contexts that will affect performance, interpre...

Schubert
Of all the great composers, Franz Schubert, who lived a mere thirty-one years, from 1797 to 1828, was perhaps the most fondly regarded by his contemporaries. And now, more than a hundred years after his death, he still charms us as his music, especially his songs, transports us from deep and death-regarding despair to the sunniest of moods. Drawing on considerable new material from Viennese sources, George Marek describes in detail how Schubert lived and died, explains how his genius flourished even in so short a lifetime, and discusses what his music means to today's audiences. Nobody knows better than Marek how inseparable were Schubert and his native Vienna, and he evokes that most musica...
Schubert
Born in 1797, Schubert died in obscurity in 1828, little known outside his circle of Viennese friends and admirers. The composer of 9 symphonies - including the famous 'Unfinished' Symphony - as well as exquisite chamber music and over 600 songs, his reputation was not fully established until well after his death. Today, of course, he is recognised as one of the great composers, and has taken his rightful place alongside his idols Mozart and Beethoven. But, as with Mozart and Beethoven, our image of the composer does not always accord with reality. Far from the 'chubby little charmer' of poular portrayal, Schubert was a man capable of great extremes of behaviour. Richard Baker examines the real story of Franz Schubert in words and pictures, bringing to life the Vienna of the early 19th century as well as the composer's friends, family and work.

Unfinished Music
Unfinished Music draws its inspiration from the riddling aphorism by Walter Benjamin that serves as its epigraph: "the work is the death mask of its conception." The work in its finished, perfected state conceals the enlivening process engaged in its creation. An opening chapter of this book examines some explosive ideas from the mind of J. G. Hamann, eccentric figure of the anti-rationalist Enlightenment, on the place of language at the seat of thought. These ideas are pursued as an entry into the no less radical mind of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, whose bold idiosyncrasies, like Hamann's, disrupted the discourse of Enlightenment aesthetics. Bach is a central player here, his late music the ...
