- Summary
- "Robert Schumann and the Piano Concerto explores the reshaping of the piano concerto by the generation after Beethoven, and the central role of Robert Schumann in modernizing the genre. A distinguished music critic and celebrated composer, Schumann both advocated changes to the concerto and carried them out in his own concerted works for piano, which are counted among the finest of his compositions. Schumann's preoccupation with the piano concerto over his entire composing career, and the exciting milieu in which he and his fellow musicians, including many composers and performers of concertos, lived and worked, are the subjects of Robert Schumann and the Piano Concerto.
- A scholarly book, it will appeal to college and conservatory teachers and students, as well as music connoisseurs."--BOOK JACKET.
