Bücher von Jeffrey Sposato

The first full-length volume on the life work of one of the most well-known and prolific masters of our time, William Thomas McKinley: A Bio-Bibliography provides both musicologists and performers with a guide toward further exploration of the composer and his music.

In The Price of Assimilation, Jeffrey Sposato offers a bold, revisionist account of Mendelssohn's relationship to his Jewish roots. Challenging the notion that Mendelssohn's identity was strongly informed by a sense of Jewishness, a view that came into currency after World War II, Sposato argues instead that for much of his career, Mendelssohn consciously attempted to distance himself from his Jewish heritage.
