This collection of the writings of the eminent musicologist Derrick Puffett, brings together in one volume material previously widely dispersed in a range of journals and books. Puffett's work on Bruckner, Strauss, Webern, Zemlinsky, Delius and Debussy is of enduring importance to the study of music. This book reveals resonances that cross from essay to essay and indicate a larger, coherent project than simply the sum of its parts.
