19th-Century Piano Music focuses on the core composers of the 19th-century repertoire, beginning with 2 chapters giving a general overview of the repertoire and keyboard technique of the era, and then individual chapters on Beethoven, Schubert, Weber, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, and Liszt. The new edition will include a final chapter on women composers of the era, particularly focusing on Fanny Hensel and Clara Schumann. Each chapter is written by a noted authority in the field, and features both biographical information and musical analysis. The book is ideal for a course focusing on the history of keyboard music or a unit in a 19th-century music course on the keyboard works of the era. Plus, students and scholars will find it an excellent resource summarizing current research on each of these composers' keyboard works.
