MacDowell by E Douglas Bomberger
A timeless tale of human strength and weakness set in one of the most vibrant periods of American musical history, MacDowell traces the composer's rise from humble beginnings in lower Manhattan to the pinnacle of musical fame, and the precipitous fall from grace that followed.
It is fascinating reading and a useful book for study purposes, if not, by design, a textbookBomberger succeeds in making a strong argument for the study of a U.S.-born composer of nineteenth-centurymusic as an indispensable part of global music history. * Marianne Betz, Journal of the Society for American Music *
