Robert Simpson è stato un compositore inglese e per lungo tempo produttore e conduttore radiofonico della BBC, noto soprattutto per la sua musica orchestrale e da camera e per i suoi scritti su compositori come Beethoven, Bruckner, Nielsen e Sibelius. Guidata dall'ammirazione per l'approccio analitico di Tovey, la prosa di Simpson illuminava con precisione e incisività forme e tonalità musicali sofisticate, rendendo le idee complesse accessibili al lettore non specialista. Ha sostenuto compositori ampiamente sottovalutati ed esplorato le opere di figure più familiari dalla prospettiva unica di un compositore. La sua produzione letteraria, sia in libri che in articoli, rivela costantemente una profonda comprensione della struttura e dell'espressione musicale.
