Download or read book The Lady from Arezzo written by Alfred Brendel and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this collection of essays refers to a tailor's mannequin that Alfred Brendel spotted in a shop window in Arezzo, a small Tuscan town. Who is this strange lady? What is she looking at? And why is she carrying an egg on her head? The mannequin now graces a room in the attic of Brendel's house in Hampstead. Her features convey great artistic seriousness in combination with absurd comedy: the epitome of his own musical and literary preferences. And so, in his delightful new collection, great masters of nonsense meet great masters of music.
