Book Reviews of Charles Ives: A Life with Music
Book Review: Accessible tale of a musical maverick with a business head
Summary: 5 Stars
Well written and accessible, the book describes the life of America's preeminent composer in the European tradition. A man who successfully forged a truly personal musical vocabulary on strong and deep American musical rootstock. Yet his only commercial success came through his equally great (though far less consequential) business talents. A continuing cautionary parable about the creative arts in the United States. I wish there were more score excerpts included.
