{"product_id":"9780253111661","title":"Moriz Rosenthal in Word and Music: A Legacy of the Nineteenth Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs a pianist, Rosenthal was unparalleled: his legato touch came from\u003cbr\u003e Chopin through his pupil Mikuli; his awareness of composition was developed by\u003cbr\u003e Liszt; his Brahms interpretation shaped by the composer himself; and his ingeniously\u003cbr\u003e crafted piano-paraphrases memorialized his friendship with Johann Strauss II. Yet\u003cbr\u003e Rosenthal's pianistic abilities were married to a rare intellectual erudition -- a\u003cbr\u003e knowledge of literature, history, philology, science, philosophy, and society that\u003cbr\u003e few pianists have ever matched, let alone surpassed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these\u003cbr\u003e striking pieces, we see every facet of Rosenthal: memoirist, social critic,\u003cbr\u003e pedagogue, and virtuoso. He could write with gravity and pathos, yet his famous and\u003cbr\u003e sometimes devastating wit is legendary. This volume combines Rosenthal's writings\u003cbr\u003e with critical assessments of the pianist by such contemporaries as Eduard Hanslick,\u003cbr\u003e Edward Prime-Stevenson, and Hugo Wolf. It is rounded out with an illuminating\u003cbr\u003e preface by Charles Rosen, perhaps Rosenthal's most renowned pupil; a discography and\u003cbr\u003e concertography; and a CD featuring never-before-released Rosenthal\u003cbr\u003e recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067845591280,"sku":"9780253111661","price":29.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780253111661_p0.jpg?v=1763681134","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253111661","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
