Produktbeschreibung
Walter Willson Cobbett (1847-1937) played an
important role in the
British Musical Renaissance by his initiation of a
series of chamber
music competitions, beginning in 1905, each of which
required the
composition of a phantasy. The phantasy was Cobbett''s
reinvention of
an older genre from England''s past, the fancy, or
fantasia. A vast
number of new British chamber compositions was
generated from
these competitions. Cobbett also commissioned eleven
phantasies
from British composers, sponsored prizes for chamber
music
compositions at the Royal College of Music, and
established the
endowed medal for services to chamber music issued
annually by the
Worshipful Company of Musicians. In examining these
competitions
and compositions in detail, Cobbett''s passion for
British chamber
music and his contribution to its lasting legacy are
revealed.
