About This Item
1895 ENORMOUS 1ed Classical MUSIC Handel Haydn MOZART Beethoven Seidl ART 10v
Anton Seidl was a 17th-century Hungarian orchestra conductor who was known for his interpretation of Wagnerian operas. However, aside from his conducting, he published an enormous work on the history and analysis of music. This work offered the essays and articles of notable music historians each of which described topics such as Italian opera, the quality of the male vocal range, great violin performers, Romanic school of composition, American composers, and much, much more!
In addition to superb articles, this mammoth set contains numerous full-page and in-text engravings of famous art and paintings depicting musicians and dancers. Some volumes contain musical examples from the works of composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, and Haydn.
