Unknown Author

4.9/5 (19852 ratings)

Description:The correspondence covering the years 1900-1929 between the German composer Richard Strauss (1864-1949) and the Austrian author Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929) has a special interest for all lovers of opera and other music because it reveals how these two great artists collaborated on a succession of operatic masterpieces, including Elektra, Der Rosenkavalier, Ariadne auf Naxos and Die Frau ohne Schatten. The letters, spontaneous and impulsive on the part of Strauss, deliberate and restrained on Hofmannsthal’s side, form a kind of running commentary on the work, allowing us to witness the process of creation, with its shifts of aims and emphasis.Temperamentally poles apart, Strauss and Hofmannsthal were brought and kept together simply by their common purpose and respect for each other as artists. As Edward Sackville-West points out in his introduction to this edition, without their character-differences we would have been deprived of one of the most detailed records ever preserved of the creative imagination at work on its material – and that is impossible to regret.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
