| Abstract |
Contains musical analysis of nearly all the concertos in the standard repertory, from Bach's for two violins to Walton's for viola: fifty concertos in all. The choral works include long essays on Bach's B minor Mass, Beethoven's Mass in D, Brahms's and Verdi's Requiems, Haydn's The Creation and The Seasons, amongst other famous works. Tovey's essays were based on his famous programme notes written mainly for his concerts with the Reid Orchestra in Edinburgh. |
