Un double intérêt pour les rapports musique/littérature et pour le concept de Bildung a déterminé la comparaison, dans le cadre de cet ouvrage, de dix romans de formation de langues française et allemande qui se répartissent symétriquement du milieu du XIXème siècle à nos jours: "Der arme Spielmann" de Franz Grillparzer et "Consuelo" de George Sand; "Gertrud" de Hermann Hesse et "Jean-Christophe" de Romain Rolland; "Doktor Faustus" de Thomas Mann et "La Pêche miraculeuse" de Guy de Pourtalès; "Der Untergeher" de Thomas Bernhard, "Porporino" de Dominique Fernandez, "Die Klavierspielerin" de Elfriede Jelinek et "Tous les matins du monde" de Pascal Quignard. Cette étude de synthèse tend à dégager, au regard d'oeuvres qui présentent une réelle densité 'musico-littéraire', l'évolution et la spécificité du 'roman de la formation musicale', catégorie littéraire qui est définie par référence aux notions allemandes de Bildungsroman et de Künstlerroman. La culture musicale de romanciers - dont la formation en ce domaine a servi pour certains de propédeutique à l'écriture - est en effet l'objet d'une transposition littéraire qui confronte le lecteur à la problématique fondamentale des rapports de la musique et du langage. La revendication du statut d''écrivain-musicien', à laquelle s'ajoute l'intertextualité particulière que crée dans ces romans le jeu des références et des citations musicales, invitent à réfléchir notamment au rapprochement analogique des structures musicales et des structures littéraires.

Accompanied Voices is a unique book: not only is it a highly readable anthology of some of the most memorable and accessible international writing about classical music, and a moving commentaryby one set of practising artists on the work of another. There have been several anthologies of 'music poems', but never one which follows the story of western music through from the Renaissance tothe twenty-first century. This is in effect a chronological guide to the major composers of the last four hundred years, written in the language which comes closest to music itself - poetry.

Readers will find in Accompanied Voices the same pleasure that they might find in simply putting on a CD and listening. Every page brings something to arrest or transport and there is extraordinary diversity of response. Anecdote, epiphany, portrait, meditation... but many of these poets offer intellectual insights too and even critiques - there is far more variety here than any straightforward music essay can manage. These poems move beyond the mere names of composers and their works, reaching for more universal concerns.

Major poets represented include Geoffrey Hill,Ted Hughes, Elizabeth Jennings, Michael Longley, Andrew Motion, Peter Porter, Siegfried Sassoon, Jo Shapcott, Anne Stevenson and Charles Tomlinson among a total of nearly a hundred writers.
JOHN GREENING is a poet and received a Cholmondeley Award in 2008. He is also a Hawthornden Fellow and a Fellow of the English Association. He has published studies of the Poets of the First World War,Yeats, Hardy, Edward Thomas and Elizabethan Love Poets.
