Each has been expanded and updated for book publication and contains a comprehensive work-list, index and fully revised bibliography, in addition to the definitive view of the subject's life and works.' ***Both sides of the controversies by which musical Vienna was riven in the late decades of the 19th century are represented in this volume. On the other side, Anton Bruckner and Hugo Wolf, both devotees of Richard Wagner, one of them applying his method to symphonic writing and the other to the Lied; on the other, Johannes Brahms, a more traditional upholder of the Beethovenian symphonic tradition if at heart as romantic as any of them. There is also Antonin Dvorak, able to draw equally from both sides as well as the traditions of his own Bohemia and thus find his own integrity.' ***'Eric Sam's 'Hugo Wolf' impart[s] information as effortlessly as [it] read[s] eloquently' - Bayan Northcott, Sunday Telegraph (London).
