It brings together twenty-two essays by some of today's most important Schubert scholars, which provide new insights into this composer, his music, his influence, and his legacy.

Recenzje

Inspired by the music of Schubert and the man himself, the contexts and riddling controversies promised in the title of this rich collection are engaged here in a range of brilliant rethinkings, from a brace of fresh theoretical constructs to the seasoned insights of time-honored Schubertians. A signal contribution among the busy competition." Richard Kramer, Author of Unfinished Music and Distant Cycles: Schubert and the Conceiving of Song
