"...a fascinating and sympathetic picture of Tchaikovsky - lonely, insecure and tormented by his homosexuality - showing how his personality interacted with his prodigious musical talent to produce some of the most memorable and expressive music of the late nineteenth century. Tchaikovsky's extraordinary friendship with Nadezhda von Meck (a relationship entered into and sustained entirely by the exchange of letters) provides a particularly rich source of information about how Tchaikovsky viewed the creative process and his own talent."--back cover.

Lindeman, a musicologist, traces and defines the historical development of the concerto form as it passed from Mozart to succeeding generations. He then assesses Beethoven's contributions, and examines the classical model of the form in the early 19th century by overviewing several early romantic composers' works. Subsequent chapters analyze and assess the responses of five precursers of Schumann, whose work offers a synthesis of radical experiments and traditional tenets. He concludes by suggesting that concertos of Lizst offer a road into further developments of the genre in the second half of the century. Illustrated with bandw portraits of composers and excerpts from musical scores. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
