5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant work, though not really for the general reader.,
By Steve Schwartz (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vaughan Williams Studies (Cambridge Composer Studies) (Hardcover)
A landmark in Vaughan Williams criticism. The book handles questions both of intellectual milieu (Frogley's essay on English musical identity relates it to a wider movement) and of Vaughan Williams's musical art. The essay on VW's use of rhythm is outstanding, thoroughly refuting the picture of him as some musical bumpkin, but essays of this type require some familiarity with the nuts and bolts of music as well as the ability to read it. The book well rewards the effort it requires. This has become a favorite book, one that I reread.
