REVIEWS

Anyone genuinely interested in this composer should acquire this book at the earliest opportunity. It is magnificently produced, as befits the depth of scholarship the author continues to impart to his subject.
MUSIC AND MUSICIANS on Songs and Symphonies

No book I have read on any composer brings one closer to the act of composition itself…. If ever a book forced one to reconsider every detail of a masterpiece it is this.
