{"product_id":"rethinking-schubert-9780190874131","title":"Rethinking Schubert","description":"In \u003cem\u003eRethinking Schubert\u003c\/em\u003e, today's leading Schubertians offer fresh perspectives on the composer's importance and our perennial fascination with him. Subjecting recurring issues in historical, biographical and analytical research to renewed scrutiny, the twenty-two chapters yield new insights\u003cbr\u003einto Schubert, his music, his influence and his legacy, and broaden the interpretative context for the music of his final years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith close attention to matters of style, harmonic and formal analysis, and text setting, the essays gathered here explore a significant portion of the composer's extensive output across a range of genres. The most readily explicable aspect of Schubert's appeal is undoubtedly our continuing\u003cbr\u003eengagement with the songs. Schubert will always be the first port of call for scholars interested in the relationship between music and the poetic text, and several essays in Rethinking Schubert offer welcome new inquiries into this subject. Yet perhaps the most striking feature of modern\u003cbr\u003escholarship is the new depth of thought that attaches to the instrumental works. This music's highly protracted dissemination has combined with a habitual critical hostility to produce a reception history that is hardly congenial to musical analysis. Empowered by the new momentum behind theories of\u003cbr\u003enineteenth-century harmony and form and recently-published source materials, the sophisticated approaches to the instrumental music in\u003cem\u003e Rethinking Schubert\u003c\/em\u003e show decisively that it is no longer acceptable to posit Schubert's instrumental forms as flawed lyric alternatives to Beethoven. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat this volume provides, then, is not only a fresh portrait of one of the most loved composers of the nineteenth century but also a conspectus of current Schubertian research. Whether perusing unknown repertoire or refreshing canonical works, \u003cem\u003eRethinking Schubert\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the extraordinary\u003cbr\u003emethodological variety that is now available to research, painting a portrait of Schubert that is vibrant, plural, trans-national, and complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorraine Byrne Bodley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190874131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLorraine Byrne Bodley\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer and Director of Research at the Department of Music, Maynooth University.
