Description
Between 1918 and 1926, the widely read music magazine, Musical America, published 414 short biographies of prominent American musicians born between ca. 1860 and 1900. This biographical dictionary collects those articles into a convenient and richly detailed source of information on the composers, teachers, scholars, and performers who were active at the time American music was coming of age.
Reviews / Votes
Fallen Leaf Press has created a sturdy, attractive book, which will be a welcome source for historians of music and Americana as well as for those preparing program notes for concerts and recordings. The index itself constitutes a rich source of information and makes the work worthy of consultation for a wide range of historical topics. Because the original publication is likely to be difficult to obtain, this reproduction is welcome. The production format also lends itself to bedtime reading for avid connisseurs of early twentieth-century American music. * American Reference Books Annual *More details
