THE FABER POCKET GUIDE TO HAYDN

Book ID/图书代码： 04560011B49368

English Summary/英文概要： Joseph Haydn was one of the greatest and most innovative of all composers. Two hundred years after his death his reputation has never been higher, yet in some ways he is still a curiously misunderstood figure. This engaging new Pocket Guide assesses what Haydn’s music means to us today, and challenges some of the myths that have grown up around the composer.

Accessible and easy to use, key features include:
Haydn: his music work by work
Haydn: his life in brief
Haydn’s friends, patrons and contemporaries
Haydn in 2009
A Haydn top twenty
Haydn on CD

With suggestions for further reading and recommended CD recordings, Richard Wigmore’s crisp and concise guide presents you with all you need to listen to and enjoy Haydn’s music. It explores each of Haydn’s key works, from his symphonies to his quartets, from his choral works to his sonatas, from his piano trios to his little-known operas, and invites a new generation of listeners to discover the profundity and dazzling ingenuity of this most humane and life-affirming of composers.
