Walls of Circumstance: Studies in Nineteenth Century Music

A book of great use to any individual interested in music, be it academic or recreational. Written with exciting clarity, humor and insight these 11 little known composers find immortality under Jensen's skillful intellect. The revealed influence these, until now, unsung composers of the 19th century had on more successful contemporaries (Chopin et al) allow an unusual light to illuminate the over-analyzed "greats" of the age. This book should be housed in everyone's collection!
