by Arnold Whittall

Format: Paperback

Condition: Poor Condition — £1.00

Poor Condition — £1.00

What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

New - a brand new book
Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Romanticism - the dominant mode of nineteenth-century musical expression - is associated most readily with the full-blooded passion and emotion to be found in such masterpieces as Chopin's Revolutionary study and Wagner's epic music drama, The Ring. Arnold Whittall here describes the emergence of Romantic music in Germany, Italy and France, as seen in the work of Weber, Schumann, Donizetti, Berlioz and Chopin. He goes on to explore the operatic achievements of Wagner and Verdi alongside the predominantly instrumental works of Liszt and the nationalists of Russia, Bohemia and Scandinavia. Finally he traces the flowering of late romanticism in Vienna, focusing on Brahms, Bruckner and Wolf, and shows how Mahler, Puccini, Rakhmaninov and Sibelius continued the Romantic tradition in this century.
