  • ""Max Bruch (1838-1920), the German composer now best known for his first violin concerto, was renowned during his lifetime as a conductor and a teacher, as well as a prolific composer. He wrote operas, symphonies, choral works and many concertos and shorter pieces: violinists such as Joachim and Sarasate premiered his works. During his career he held positions in Koblenz, Sondershausen, Breslau and Berlin (where Vaughan Williams was briefly his composition pupil), and he was director of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society for three years (1880-1883). Bruch shared a musical affinity with Brahms, though the latter took greater risks, so while Bruch remained wedded to the stylistic heritage of Mendelssohn and Schumann throughout his life, composing in 1920 much as he had in the 1860s, other composers such as Richard Strauss. Stravinsky and Schoenberg moved on. This book-the only full-length study of Bruch-provides a richly documented account of Bruch's career, with musical analysis of his one hundred published works."--Memento."
