The classical style: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven (Faber paperbacks) - Softcover
This book sets out to answer the question of what actually constitutes the manner, in the way of composing, that links Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.

Review:
Written in 1970, this winner of the National Book Award is perhaps the best guide to the music of the late 18th century that the reader is likely to find. Rosen defines classical music (which, in this case, is probably more properly rendered "Classical," as it refers to that specific style) through the music of its greatest geniuses: Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. This is serious stuff, but well worth the effort for the student of classical music. There are many printed musical illustrations; you'll get more out of this book if you read music. This volume has a logical successor in Rosen's The Romantic Generation. A revised version in hardcover is due later this year.
About the Author:
Charles Rosen, professor of music and social thought at the University of Chicago, has also taught at the State University of New York-Stony Brook and delivered the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard University. His recitals and other performances have won the highest critical acclaim, as have his books, The Classical Style and The Romantic Generation. When he is not concertizing, Rosen lives in New York.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Revised Edition. As-new paperback, as-new cover, as-new text-block exterior, as-new uncreased binding, pristine interior handsomely printed on excellent paper * 6.0" x 9.10", 0.70 kg, 467 pp. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "The word 'masterpiece' should be used rarely if at all. But it applies to Charles Rosen's 'The Classical Style.' This is more than a superbly penetrating, closely argued analysis of Haydn, Mozart & Beethoven. It is a piece of 'active criticism' which only a very distinguished performer could have achieved. Rosen carries over into English prose those strengths of clarity, scruple & excitement which he brings to his playing. Simply by itself, this book sets new standards for the application of language to music." - George Steiner. Seller Inventory # 005420
