Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book collects the author's interviews with and biographical sketches of notable musicians, each a biographical encounter with a legendary figure caught in a moment of time. Starting in the early 19th Century, featuring composers Wagner and Berlioz, the author traces the arc of Western musical tradition through time and genre. The author details the eccentricities of Wagner, whose genius is indisputably interwoven with his personal ambition, and Berlioz's tragic alienation from the music community and his family due to his unbending creativity.
