Description
Joseph Kerman's collection of twenty essays offers a wealth of insights into musicology and its many disciplines. Spanning topics from opera to Elizabethan music, these essays showcase Kerman's expertise and engaging writing style. From a moving account of William Byrd as a spokesman for the beleaguered Elizabethan Catholic minority to a discerning analysis of Beethoven's well-known obsession with the key of C minor, this collection provides a unique perspective on the subject. The author's legacy is evident in these essays, which offer challenging models for humane and historically informed music criticism. The book also includes Kerman's Preface, providing an intellectual and anecdotal road map of the place of the essays in his academic and public expeditions. This overview of Kerman's work will be warmly received by those interested in musicology and its many facets.
