As We Approach The Fiftieth Anniversary Of Richard Stausss Death, Scholarly Interest In The Composer Continues To Grow.

Originally Published In 1992, This Volume Examines Strausss Life And Work From A Number Of Approaches And During Various Periods Of His Long Career, Opening Up Unique Corridors Of Insight Into A Crucial Time In German History.Contributors Discuss Strauss As A Young Composer Steeped In A Conservative Instrumental Tradition, As A Brash Young Modernist Tone Poet Of The 1890S, As An Important Composer Of Twentiethcentury German Opera, And As A Cultural Icon Manipulated By The National Socialists During The 1930S And Early 1940S. Individual Essays Use Strausss Creative Work As A Framework For Larger Musicological Questions Such As The Tension Between Narrative And Structure In Program Music, The Problem Of Extended Tonality At The Turn Of The Century, Stylistic Choice Versus Stylistic Obligation, And Conflicting Perspectives Of Progressive Versus Conservative Music.This Collection Will Interest Strauss Scholars, Musicologists, And Those Interested In The Artistic And Cultural Life Of Germany From 1880 Through The Second World War.Contributors.
