Peter Evans discusses all the published compositions in subdivisions of genre and period, and devotes a separate chapter to each opera. With the help of over 300 music examples and diagrams, he demonstrates Britten''s mastery of the art of composition - tonal and harmonic structures, thematiccast and transformation, textual variety and the imaginative deployment of voices and instruments.Since this book''s appearance in 1979, Britten''s publishers have made available a considerable number of works withheld during the composer''s lifetime; some are juvenilia, but others date from a late as the Peter Grimes period.

The catalogue of works now includes these additional titles, and the selective bibliography has been revised. Less
