Review
[Halm] can be considered the "musical conscience of his time." His writings . . . promote a philosophy of listening and of musical analysis. . . . Rothfarb leads his readers on a journey in masterful manner. . . . The physical production of the book is beyond reproach. REVUE DE MUSICOLOGIE [Marc Rigaudière]
Just as Halm wrote for a wide audience of musical amateurs and professions, so too will Rothfarb's book be of interest to students and scholars, and it is recommended for academic libraries that support comprehensive music programs. . . . One of the strenghts of Rothfarb's works is his comparison of Halm's principles to those of earlier, contemporary, and later theorists, which places his ideas in historical context. MUSICAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION NOTES [Brian Weiner]
[Reveals] a truly original corpus of writings of quite ambitious scope. Halm could be a bracing voice for so many of us who are trying to incorporate critical perspectives within our music analyses [and] provide an invigorating tonic to our ongoing disciplinary conversations. MUSIC THEORY ONLINE [Thomas Christensen] Read the full review at http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.11.17.4/mto.11.17.4.christensen.html
With this remarkable personal and intellectual biography, Lee Rothfarb continues work begun in his volumes on Ernst Kurth [Halm's best-known student]. August Halm was a music educator, composer, and critic as well as a music theorist, and, in the course of studying his work closely, Rothfarb also constructs for us a richer, more detailed, and more nuanced view of German music-intellectual life and practice in the early twentieth century. Meticulous and commanding in its scholarship and beholden to no current mythologies, this is historical writing on music theory at its best.
--David Neumeyer, Leslie Waggener Professor in the College of Fine Arts, The University of Texas at Austin
