About this product
Product Information
Jean-Michel Nectoux's important biography of Gabriel Faur is the most comprehensive study yet of this central figure of fin de siecle France. It traces the composer's life and the rich cultural milieu in which he lived and worked: the world also of Saint-Saens, Flaubert, Verlaine, Ravel, Debussy and Proust. A large part of the book considers Faur 's music, with particular emphasis on his adjustment to the musical language of the twentieth century and the formation of his late style. Works in all genres are discussed in detail. The book is the fruit of over twenty years' research by Nectoux, the foremost authority on Gabriel Faur . In the process of writing this definitive study, he read more than 5000 previously unpublished letters and unearthed more than 120 musical manuscripts. The book includes several rare photographs from Faur 's lifetime and contains an extended chronology of the composer's life, a complete chronological listing of all his own works and a detailed bibliography.

'J.-M. Nectoux's [book] on Fauré is as much literary as theoretical and, in spite of the enormous fund of information it contains, is more reflective than didactic.

Between confusing my tracking information for another order (making me think my package had been delivered states away), my book having completely different cover art than the image used in the eBay listing, my book not being packed well and suffering some damage, as well as the other shady behavior listed in other reviews (like my book coming from Amazon and the seller immediately jacking up the price of the original listing after my purchase), I'd say this is a shady seller to entirely avoid.

Book was as described. Charged a lot for shipping and never gave any tracking information. Also, this book was sold to me before they had it in hand apparently. A packing slip for Amazon was found with a cheaper price and later date than when I bought the book.

This seller sent the wrong item by accident so as a good seller DID make a 100% full refund due to the fact that UPS wanted $28.00 to just pick up this Item to return it.. and the Item only cost $16.98 To purchase it. The seller DID THE RIGHT THING FOR THE BUYER..ME... and I thank and commend this seller. 5 star seller
