Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Hans von Blow is a key figure in 19th century music whose career path was as broad as it was successful. Music history's first virtuoso orchestral conductor, Blow created the model for the professionboth in musical brilliance and in domineering personalitywhich still holds forth today. He was an eminent and renowned concert pianist, a respected (and often feared) teacher and music critic, an influential editor of works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Chopin, and Beethoven, and a composer in a variety of musical genres. As a student and soninlaw of Franz Liszt, and estranged friend of Richard Wagner (for whom his wife Cosima famously left him), Blow is intricately connected with the canonical greats of the period. Yet despite his critical and lasting importance for orchestral music, Blow's life and significant achievements have yet to be heralded in biographical form.In Hans von Blow: A Life and Times, Alan Walker, the acclaimed author of numerous awardwinning books on the era's iconic composers, provides the first fulllength English biography of this remarkable musical figure. Walker traces Blow's life in illuminating and engaging detail, from the first piano lessons of his boyhood days, to his first American tour, to his last days as conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. Unearthing Blow's extensive and previously unavailable correspondence and writings, Walker conveys amusing and informative anecdotes about this unique musical legend from his sardonic and clever personality to his meticulous devotion to his workand reveals enlightening insights on the stillcontested sensibilities of musicalcompositional style and 'idea' at play in the vibrant musical world of which Blowwas a part.
