French Music: From the Death of Berlioz to the Death of Faure

by Martin Cooper

On This Page

Description

The French composers who flourished between 1869 and 1924 include Gounod, Saint-Saens, Bizet, Massenet, Franck, Chabrier, Faure, d'Indy, Debussy, Ravel, Satie, Schmitt, Roussel, Milhaud, and Poulenc. One at least of these was a great composer; several were composers of important and enduring works; and all had individual contributions to make to French music--and indeed to European music as a whole. In this classic study, the author provides an entertaining yet sensitive account of a most show more fruitful half-century of music. show less
