Romantic Generation

"Charles Rosen's new book is that rarity: a work of detailed musical analysis that combines profound scholarship with artistic intuition....Mr. Rosen writes thoughtfully without becoming pedantic; he engages himself personally without becoming radically subjective. When he traces connections between a composer's work, life and environment, he remains reasonable in his conclusions and does not try to be an amateur psychologist. His insights derive from the music itself. Readers who are weary of the psychosexual babble of much modern musicology will find solace."Rosen, Charles is the author of 'Romantic Generation', published 1998 under ISBN 9780674779341 and ISBN 0674779347.
