Editorial Reviews

Lindeman (Structural Novelty and Tradition in the Early Romantic Piano Concerto) begins this essential guide to concerto history and theory with an etymological sketch of the musical genre. The tremendously informative prefatory material clarifies the authoritative scholarship and abbreviations regularly cited in the text. Under each theorist, critic, or composer's name is a complete listing of musical works, bibliographical citations, and, when relevant, a thorough exegesis of primary and secondary literature. Hundreds of entries of varying lengths are grouped thematically and organized alphabetically. While the writing is straightforward, this is geared toward researchers seeking subject-specific detail rather than casual readers. Recommended for collections focusing on music theory and history.

Library Journal

"This work is by far the most complete listing of concerto resources to date, and is relatively easy to use... The Concerto will be very valuable for larger public and academic libraries with specialized music collections, and for all music scholars interested in the concerto form... Highly recommended." — R.L. Wick, Choice
