Details

Charles-Valentin Alkan was a pianist and composer of unparalleled brilliance, whose intricate compositions and extraordinary skill at the keyboard earned him the admiration of contemporaries such as Franz Liszt and Frédéric Chopin. Yet, despite his immense talent, Alkan's name has faded into relative obscurity, overshadowed by the towering figures of the Romantic era. In Charles-Valentin Alkan: The Forgotten Virtuoso, Helene Kremer delves deep into the enigmatic life and profound legacy of this elusive genius. Through a rich tapestry of historical context, musical analysis, and personal anecdotes, Kremer paints a vivid portrait of Alkan as both a reclusive artist and a trailblazer who pushed the boundaries of piano music. This book explores Alkan's extraordinary compositions, from his technically demanding études to his deeply introspective sonatas, revealing a musician who combined intellectual rigor with profound emotional depth. Kremer also examines the cultural and historical forces that shaped Alkan's life, from his Jewish heritage in 19th-century Paris to his relationships with the musical greats of his time. A compelling journey into the life of a musical pioneer, this book celebrates the enduring legacy of a composer who defied convention and left an indelible mark on the world of music. Whether you are a pianist, a music enthusiast, or a history lover, The Forgotten Virtuoso will inspire you to rediscover the genius of Charles-Valentin Alkan.
