In this book - the only full-length study of Bruch - the author provides a richly documented account of Bruch's career as music director and composer, including a spell with the Liverpool Philharmonic Societyfrom 1880-1883, and as a teacher at the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin from 1892 until his retirement in 1911, where Vaughan Williams was one his pupils; he paints a picture of a proud and sensitive man, whose talents were perhaps left behind at a time of rapid musical development. The book also offers a musical analysis of his one hundred published works, including three operas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e CHRISTOPHER FIFIELD is foremost a conductor, but also a writeron music history (Grove, DNB, Viking Opera Guide, Oxford Companion to Music), the author of a biography of Hans Richter, the editor of the letters and diaries of Kathleen Ferrier, and a recent history of the music agents Ibbs and Tillett.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Boydell Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50363313651986,"sku":"9781843831365","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_dc072d97-1de5-49d6-b715-23dc6fca4fed.jpg?v=1728411114","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/max-bruch-his-life-and-works-9781843831365","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
