This is a fascinating look into the more abstract aspects of 19th-century musical attitudes and how it has fueled long standing conversations on the value of poetic interiority over overt technical virtuosity. * American Music Teacher * Among the most distinguished results of Stefaniak's study is to have reminded us of...the challenges of scholarly engagement with complex, often contradictory manifestations of lived experience. * Die Musikforschung * Schumann's Virtuosity is thoughtfully organized and loosely chronological, with in-depth, elegant analyses of relevant examples. * Nineteenth-Century Music Review * Stefaniak's book remains a valuable resource for musicologists, theorists, pianists, and aestheticians interested in reading about Schumann's views on virtuosity. * Notes * It is refreshing to read a contemporary scholarly book that embraces aesthetics so forcefully. * Choice * Stefaniak's book is commendable as a rational, appealing introduction to an important aspect of nineteenth-century music praxis as explored and articulated by a major composer and leader of the early Romantic movement. * Journal of the American Musicological Society *
Alexander Stefaniak is Assistant Professor of Musicology at Washington University in Saint Louis.
