Schubert's Workshop offers a fresh study of the composer's compositional technique and its development, rooted in the author's experience of realising performing versions of Franz Schubert's unfinished works. Through close examination of Schubert's use of technical and structural devices, Brian Newbould demonstrates that Schubert was much more technically innovative than has been supposed, and argues that the composer's technical discoveries constitute a rich legacy of specific influences on later composers. Providing rich new insights into the creative practice of one of the major figures of classical music, this two-volume study reframes our understanding of Schubert as an innovator who constantly pushed at the frontiers of style and expression.
Brian Newbould is a musicologist whose completions of several unfinished symphonies and other works by Schubert are played, broadcast and recorded worldwide. He has lectured in the North and South Americas, the Antipodes, and across Europe and Scandinavia. Schubert's Workshop is his third book on this composer.
