920bpm Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I remember reading about a book which collected negative reviews from all throughout history of pieces that are now regarded as great works. I just can't remember it's name, and I may very well need to buy it as a birthday present really soon, please help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
920bpm Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Figured it out. "Lexicon of Musical Invective: Critical Assaults on Composers Since Beethoven's Time" Amazon.com: Lexicon of Musical Invective: Critical Assaults on Composers Since Beethoven's Time: Nicolas Slonimsky, Peter Schickele: Books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardener Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Sounds like a fun book. But why only since Beethoven's time? Without all the scathing critique of, say, Monteverdi's music? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
