Book Reviews of Amy Beach, Passionate Victorian: The Life and Work of an American Composer, 1867-1944
Book Review: Good book about a great composer
Summary: 4 Stars
This book gives lots of detail about Amy Beach, born at a time when women were not encouraged to follow productive careers in music. Despite being handicapped by her society, Amy Beach overcame many of those by the shear force of her musical talents. This book follows Beach's musical and personal life and also provides a clear image of the time in which she lived. If I had any criticism, there may be too much detail, but then I bought the book just to concentrate on her music.
