920bpm Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I remember reading about a book which collected negative reviews from all throughout history of pieces that are now regarded as great works. I just can't remember it's name, and I may very well need to buy it as a birthday present really soon, please help!! Quote
920bpm Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 Figured it out. "Lexicon of Musical Invective: Critical Assaults on Composers Since Beethoven's Time" Amazon.com: Lexicon of Musical Invective: Critical Assaults on Composers Since Beethoven's Time: Nicolas Slonimsky, Peter Schickele: Books Quote
Gardener Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Sounds like a fun book. But why only since Beethoven's time? Without all the scathing critique of, say, Monteverdi's music? :( Quote
SonatainfSharp Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I might have to pick that up for myself! Quote
