Summary: "Musical Portraits: Interpretations of Twenty Modern Composers" by Paul Rosenfeld is a critical exploration of the works and influences of notable composers written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the lives and musical contributions of composers such as Wagner and Strauss, offering insights into their stylistic developments and cultural significance in the context of their times. The focus is primarily on modern composers, examining how their musical narratives reflect broader social and historical themes. At the start of the work, Rosenfeld introduces Wagner, discussing his music as representative of the 19th century and the complex emotions it evokes—from triumph and grandeur to deep-seated longing and homesickness. He illustrates Wagner's profound impact on music worldwide, exploring themes of materialism and emotional yearning, while acknowledging the musical techniques that paved the way for future compositions. The opening sets a tone of deep analysis and appreciation for the composers, indicating the author's aim to articulate the nuances and legacies of these pivotal figures in music history.
