About this product
Product Information
Jean-Michel Nectoux's important biography of Gabriel Faur is the most comprehensive study yet of this central figure of fin de siecle France. It traces the composer's life and the rich cultural milieu in which he lived and worked: the world also of Saint-Saens, Flaubert, Verlaine, Ravel, Debussy and Proust. A large part of the book considers Faur 's music, with particular emphasis on his adjustment to the musical language of the twentieth century and the formation of his late style. Works in all genres are discussed in detail. The book is the fruit of over twenty years' research by Nectoux, the foremost authority on Gabriel Faur . In the process of writing this definitive study, he read more than 5000 previously unpublished letters and unearthed more than 120 musical manuscripts. The book includes several rare photographs from Faur 's lifetime and contains an extended chronology of the composer's life, a complete chronological listing of all his own works and a detailed bibliography.

'J.-M. Nectoux's [book] on Fauré is as much literary as theoretical and, in spite of the enormous fund of information it contains, is more reflective than didactic.

Highly annoyed with seller. I paid AUD$275 for this book 15 days ago
& without any word of warning the entire amount was refunded to me today because the book they ‘advertised’ for sale is “out of stock”!!! Incredibly bad business to not have the item they offer for sale & hold onto my money for so long. Terribly bad service!
