An authoritative and fascinating guide with a wealth of information on chamber works from the Classical Period to contemporary composers.
Reprint of the Doubleday, New York, 1990 edition
Authoritative, beautifully written guide presents 231 of the most frequently performed pieces of chamber music by 55 composers. For each, the author gives a brief biography, followed by discussions of the individual compositions — both their historical and musical contexts and their salient features, including formal organization, content, and any extramusical associations.
