Informationen zum Autor Charles Fisk is Phyllis H. Carey Professor in the Department of Music at Wellesley College. Klappentext "A stunning work of contextual criticism...This is an exceptionally significant book that both sheds new light on a major repertory and brings to a new level the recent transformation within the discipline of musicology. I anticipate that it will have a stimulating and healing influence on music studies."—Susan McClary, author of Conventional Wisdom "Fisk makes compelling use of his talents as both performer and critic-analyst of the music that is closest to him. His book will immediately become one of the most significant publications on Schubert of the past few decades. I can think of no other work that treats this repertory with such insight and sensitivity."—Walter Frisch, editor of Schubert: Critical and Analytical Studies Zusammenfassung Investigating the later music of Franz Schubert, this book explores the rich terrain of his impromptus and last piano sonatas. It explains how Schubert's view of his own life may well have shaped his music in the years shortly before his death. Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgments Prologue: Schubert after Winterreise 1.
