Book Reviews of Bitter Music: Collected Journals, Essays, Introductions, and Librettos (Music in American Life)
Book Review: Like nothing you've ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
Bitter Music (as well as the other writings in the collection) reads like a journal, a storybook, and a score simultaneously. The pages are riddled with colorful characters, bizarre situations, and wondrous insights into the musical mind of a brilliant transient.
