Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Toccata Press is an independent publisher of books on music, expressly dedicated to tackling important subjects that other publishers have failed to address. Harold Truscott's book on the orchestral music of Franz Schmidt, for example, was the first to be written in English on that composer. No one had written a book on Enescu in English before Toccata Press brought out Noel Malcolm's pioneering study of this great musician. Brian Newbould's examination of the Schubert symphonies, amazingly, was the first full-length analysis they had had in any language. Vol. 1 of Andrew Ashbee's study of the music of John Jenkins was not only the first book on Jenkins but also the first book on the viol fantasy. Owen Toller's monograph of Pfitzner's opera 'Palestrina' was likewise the first full-scale examination in English of this neglected masterpiece. And so the list goes on. Toccata Press also makes available for the first time in English writings by important musicians from other countries: Szymanowski's writings translated from the Polish, Vagn Holmboe's from the Danish, Dallapiccola's from Italian. Other titles are in preparation, among them writings by Martinu and Frank Martin and a further volumes of Havergal Brian's and Luigi Dallapiccola's perceptive essays.
