About This Book

The biography traces the composer's life from a musical childhood in Munich through training with family and teachers, sketches his father's influence and disagreements over Wagner, documents his early juvenilia and Opus 1 publication, follows his maturation into a leading figure whose middle period emphasized opera and ballet, discusses landmark works often accused of sensationalism yet technically inventive, and considers his legacy as a contributor to the musical language of his age while noting his comfortable material circumstances and the critical debates surrounding his uneven but seminal output.
