About the Author

Educated at Cranbrook School, and Cambridge and York Universities, M.W. Rowe is now lecturer in aesthetics at Birkbeck College, University of London. He has published many articles in philosophy and literary criticism, some of which are collected in Philosophy and Literature: A Book of Essays (Ashgate, 2004), but he has long had an interest in nineteenth-century music, particularly the repertoire for violin and for piano. A violinist himself, he has given several performances of Ernst's music.

Reviews

'... the author provides [...] a useful and thought-provoking description of Ernst's Jewish background and its effect on his career, and, from the numerous letters quoted, we are afforded vivid glimpses of many of Ernst's friends and colleagues... Students of the history of performance practice will find much of interest in these pages... this well-researched and well-written book fills a conspicuous gap in the literature in a highly successful manner.' Ad Parnassum '[Ernst’s life and his singular personality] are discussed in the quite masterly introduction Mark Rowe contributes to his definitive biography of Ernst...' Gramophone
