From the romantic agonies of Hector Berlioz to the lonely labours of Anton Bruckner, and from the cosmopolitan triumphs of George Frideric Handel to the politically fraught career of Dmitri Shostakovich in the Soviet Union, the lives of the great composers are as varied and multifaceted as the works of creative genius they produced. Writing with verve and passion, broadcaster and writer Jeremy Nicholas presents, in chronological order, elegant, informative and often affectionate biographical profiles of 50 of the greatest composers in the history of classical music. The biographies not only describe the life, artistic development and creative output of each composer, but also set the composers and their works in a broader historical and cultural context. Furthermore, shortlists of 'must-hear' masterpieces for each composer give the reader all the information they need to begin to build a brilliant classical music collection.

In this book, Jeremy Nicholas reappraises Godowsky's important contribution to the piano, sheds new light on his enigmatic personality and suggests the soubriquet given him by the critic J.G. Huneker was amply justified: Godowsky was, more than any other, "a pianist for pianists". This edition contains a new foreword by the author and some updates and corrections.
