Lawrence Gilman fu un autore e critico musicale americano che in seguito guadagnò notorietà per le sue recensioni negative e sarcastiche di composizioni che divennero classici. Il suo occhio critico e la sua prosa tagliente rivelavano una prospettiva unica sulla creazione musicale e sulla sua ricezione. Il lavoro di Gilman spinge i lettori a considerare il valore duraturo e l'impatto dei brani musicali attraverso le generazioni.
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.
