1989185811Cambridge New York: Cambridge University Press 1989. Hardcover. VG-/VG- Ex-library with stamps and labels on spine inside front and rear covers ffep and block. Black cloth boards silver lettering on gray title block on spine; bw illustrated dj mylar cover; xvi 476 pp music. "This book contains the first complete translation in English of E.T.A. Hoffmann's major musical writings complementing the well-known Tales. It offers therefore a long-awaited opportunity to assess the thought and influence of one of the most famous of all writers on music and the musical links with his fiction. Containing the first complete appearance in English of Kreisleriana it reaveals a masterpiece of imaginative writing whose title is familiar to musicians from Robert Schumann's piano cycle and whose profound humour and irony can now be fully appreciated. This volume offers translations aiming at the greatest fidelity to Hoffmann as well as musical accuracy in the reviews. David Charlton's three introductory essays provide extensive information on the background to Romantic music criticism; on the origins and internal structure of Kreiseriana; and on Hoffmann and opera. A concluding essay by the late Friedrich Schnapp lists Hoffmann's planned reviews and those mistakenly attributed to him." DJ.
