Franz Schubert's Music in Performance: Compositional Ideals, Notational Intent, Historical Realities, Pedagogical Foundations - Monographs in Musicology

Challenges many operative myths about the music of Schubert, great but often misunderstood, Viennese master. Opposing the various attempts to legitimize performer-generated embellishment of Schubert's music in the style of the 18th century, this book clarifies Schubert's contributions to the radical intellectualism of 19th-century romanticism.
