Description

The British composer William Walton (1902-1983) is one of the formost English composers of the twentieth century. His works are in the standard international concert repertoire. This is, however, the only full-length book devoted to the study of his music (1974). It includes a detailed descriptive analysis of all the more important works, together with general notes on Walton’s style, and a complete list of works.
For this second edition eight illustrative plates have been added, and there is also a new chapter on the works composed since the book’s first publication in 1965.
