Bøker av Percy Grainger

Percy Grainger was not just an inspired pianist and popular composer, but also a frequent writer. Grainger on Music presents forty-six of his essays. Their topics range over his own and his friends' compositional plans, piano technique, `Free Music', instrumental usage, and his ideas on artistic development in the United States, Australia, and his beloved Nordic lands.

Selected from the 15,000 surviving Grainger letters, these 76 letters record Grainger's fascinating life as a musician and his frequently unconventional views on nationality, race, religion, sex, politics, language, and education, and - of course - music.
