[edit] CLASSICS OF MUSIC
For much of the 20th century, Donald Francis Tovey (1875-1940) has been Britain's most celebrated and influential writer on music. As a prolific and popular lecturer, broadcaster, and essayist, Tovey left many writings unpublished at the time of his death. This title contains his significant writings not previously available as a collection.
For much of the twentieth century, Donald Francis Tovey (1875-1940) has been Britain's most celebrated and influential writer on music, largely as a result of the considerable corpus of his work published by Oxford University Press in the 1930s and 1940s. However, as a prolific and popular lecturer, broadcaster, and essayist, Tovey left many writings unpublished at the time of his death. With the sole exceptions of the Bach and Beethoven commentaries written for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, The Classics of Music assembles here for the first time all of Tovey's significant writings not previously available as a collection. Initially edited by Michael Tilmouth, late Tovey Professor of Music at the University of Edinburgh, the volume has been completed by David Kimbell and Roger Savage, also of Edinburgh - the institute at which Tovey himself held the Reid Chair of Music from 1914. Here, then, are over seventy essays in musical analysis; fifteen composer-articles for the Encyclopaedia Britannica; two complete lecture series (one of them a sophisticated exploration of key-relationships in Beethoven); a sequence of radio talks for the ordinary listener; a survey of German music from the Renaissance to Hugo Wolf; and two dozen other essays, papers, scholarly reviews, and affectionate obituaries. All new Tovey - and all characteristically stimulating and stylish - making this essential collection available to a new generation of musicians.
