Book Description
First published in 2000. Gabriel Urbain Fauré was brn 12 May 1845, in Pamiers in the south of France. Faure’s compositional style has proven difficult to classify. Some music historians consider him a figure of the nineteenth century, a traditionalist, even a neo-romantic; others consider him part of the twentieth century—at the least, a predecessor of modem French music or, at the other extreme, a quiet revolutionary and a great influence upon France’s musical future. This research guide offers a selective, annotated list of writings, biographical information and lists of works and photographs.

Book 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.
