Description:
An illuminating portrait of a man whose innovative works profoundly influenced the course of twentieth-century American classical music. Jan Swafford's colorful biography first unfolds in Ives's Connecticut hometown of Danbury, then follows Ives to Yale and on to his years in New York, where he began his double career as composer and insurance executive. The Charles Ives that emerges from Swafford's story is a precocious, well-trained musician, a brilliant if mercurial thinker about art and life, and an experimenter in the spirit of Edison and the Wright brothers. Oversize Soft cover book in very good condition, cover still hold original glossy finish, pages are clean and unmarked. Book appears unread.

First line
THE MUSIC OF CHARLES IVES, which on first acquaintance generally strikes listeners as willfully eccentric, grew from "a long foreground"-as Emerson said of Walt Whitman's equally eccentric Leaves of Grass.
