Lawrence Gilman was een Amerikaanse auteur en muziekcriticus die later bekendheid verwierf door zijn vernietigende negatieve recensies van composities die klassiekers werden. Zijn kritische blik en scherpe proza onthulden een uniek perspectief op muzikale creatie en de receptie ervan. Het werk van Gilman zet lezers aan tot nadenken over de blijvende waarde en impact van muziekstukken door de generaties heen.
A fascinating exploration of the ways in which music both reflects and is influenced by the natural world. Written by one of the foremost music critics of the early twentieth century.
