Description

Explore the fascinating life and complex musical world of the French virtuoso composer-pianist Charles Valentin Alkan (1813-1888). Described as a 'conservative radical' by William Alexander Eddie, Alkan's work represents a unique blend of Judaic culture, French baroque, and German classicism. This book provides a deep look into his stylistic evolution, offering a comprehensive survey of his entire output. Readers will find a detailed stylistic analysis that spans from his early apprentice works to the demanding 'massed style' etudes of his later years. These later compositions are noted for their significant length and extreme pianistic difficulty. Whether you are a student of classical music history or a professional pianist, this Routledge publication offers a thorough examination of Alkan's unique place in the musical canon and his distinct compositional voice.
