Celebrating its 100th anniversary, this extraordinary series
continues to amaze and captivate its readers with detailed insight into
the lives and work of music's geniuses. Unlike other composer
biographies that focus narrowly on the music, this series explores the
personal history of each composer and the social context surrounding the
music. In a precise, engaging, and authoritative manner, each volume
combines a vivid portrait of the master musicians' inspirations,
influences, life experiences, even their weaknesses, with an accessible
discussion of their work-all in roughly 300 pages. Further, each volume
offers superb reference material, including a detailed life and times
chronology, a complete list of works, a personalia glossary highlighting
the important people in the composer's life, and a select bibliography.
Under the supervision of music expert and series general editor Stanley
Sadie, Master Musicians will certainly proceed to delight music scholars, serious
musicians, and all music lovers for another hundred years.
