Description

Elgar the Music Maker by Diana McVeagh is an in-depth appraisal of the composer's works, spanning five decades and covering his juvenilia to the unfinished Third Symphony. McVeagh scrutinizes biographical details that have since been discovered to assess their impact on Elgar's compositions, exploring his complex personality and compositional methods. The focus remains firmly on the music, with each work discussed in detail. This book provides a compelling companion to the music of one of England's greatest composers, making it an attractive choice for musicians, scholars, and CD collectors alike.
