Description

A 'conservative radical' is William Alexander Eddie's description of the French virtuoso composer-pianist Charles Valentin Alkan (1813-1888). Judaic culture, the French baroque and German classicism were the main influences on Alkan's musical style, with more radical musical tendencies found in many of the Esquisses op 63. This comprehensive survey takes as its focus a stylistic analysis of Alkan's compositions from the apprentice works to the later 'massed style' etudes; the latter are of considerable length and pianistic difficulty. There is also consideration of Alkan's achievements as pianist and teacher, and the sections on performance practice in Alkan will be of interest to pianists today. A full investigation of Alkan's reception history is also included and useful appendices provide a guide to further archival research. A list of works and basic discography complete this new study of an important French composer. Review ’This musicological tour de force, whose brilliance at times resembles Alkanian prestidigitation, makes a persuasive case for the (re-)instatement of Alkan as a key figure in the development of nineteenth- and indeed twentieth-century music. All serious musicians, and not just pianophiles, will find themselves deeply in Eddie's debt.’ Conor Farrington, Times Literary Supplement About the Author William Alexander Eddie is an Associate Lecturer in Music for The Open University and for Edinburgh University (Continuing Education). He is a pianist and accompanist and is Senior Examiner in Music for London College of Music.
