These newly re-written editions of popular titles in the New Grove composer biography series, last published in the 1980s, offer fresh insights based on the latest scholarship. They focus on some of the most influential composers of recent centuries and are derived from the second edition of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. Notably, these titles will be published before the dictionary, providing sneak previews of some of the most current entries in this landmark edition of the authoritative music encyclopedia. Alongside re-written editions of Mozart, Haydn, and Wagner, the series introduces Stravinsky for the first time, marking the beginning of a collection dedicated to the great masters of the twentieth century, previously unpublished as individual volumes. This German-born composer stands out as one of the most controversial musical figures of the nineteenth century. A multifaceted individual—literary, philosophical, and political—he pursued his artistic goals with relentless determination, both in his public and private life, as well as through his critical writings. His impact on German Romantic opera included training a more dramatically powerful type of singer and extending thematic development. His life and works evoke intense emotions, making him a fascinating subject for exploration.
