About the German edition of this book: «[…] Constantin Floros devotes himself initially to the biography and then to the compositional oeuvre, divided according to genre and supplemented by concrete illustrations, thus giving greater significance to the music.» (Forum Musikbibliothek 27, 2006) «[…] the music gets more weight of its own in the more detailed analyses – illustrated with revealing note citations – which yet always remain readily accessible.» (Steffen A. Schmidt, Das Orchester 02/2007) Information fehlt? |
