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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   CHRISTOPHER FIFIELD is foremost a conductor, but also a writeron music history (\u003ci\u003eGrove, DNB, Viking Opera Guide, Oxford Companion to Music\u003c\/i\u003e), 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.","brand":"Christopher Fifield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280289870075,"sku":"9781843831365","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781843831365_7044b589-d653-4d72-a680-b709e9346255.jpg?v=1772487464","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/max-bruch-9781843831365","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
