Forster's irrepressible interest in music, providing plentiful examples of how the eminent British author's fiction resonates with music. Musicologist Michelle Fillion analyzes his critical writings, short stories, and novels, including \u003ci\u003eA Room with a View,\u003c\/i\u003e which alludes to Beethoven, Wagner, and Schumann, and \u003ci\u003eHowards End,\u003c\/i\u003e which explicitly alerts readers how fiction can adopt musical forms and ideas. This volume also includes, for the first time in print, Forster's notes on Beethoven's piano sonatas. Documenting his knowledge of music, his musical favorites and friends, and his attitudes toward various composers, performances, and competing musical theories, this engaging book traces the musical influences of luminaries such as Wagner, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Britten on Forster's life and work.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Michelle Fillion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53614311637372,"sku":"9780252035654","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780252035654_a4de9943-d9fa-4a00-afee-2130c52ef55d.jpg?v=1726044599","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/difficult-rhythm","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
