Music As Impassioned Argument

Studien zur Wertungsforschung, Volume 59. The editors take a deep dive into the music of Elizabeth Maconchy, a star among British composers of the 20th century. From her early studies with Vaughan Williams, her fascination with the music of Bartok, and her success on the Continent, Maconchy stood among the male dominated British musical world of Elgar, Delius, Walton, Britten, and others. Music as Impassioned Argument presents writings by Maconchy, herself, with others that seek to explore and enlighten her catalog of works.
