Naslagwerk van de liedkunst en de literatuur hierover.

Edward Lear's beloved poem has charmed readers since it was first published in 1871. 4+ yrs.

This biography admirably fills that gap, fully examining the connections between Beach's life and work in light of social currents and dominant ideologies. Adrienne Fried Block has written a biography that takes full account of issues of gender and musical modernism, considering Beach in the contexts of her time and of her composer contemporaries, both male and female. Amy Beach, Passionate Victorian will be of great interest to students and scholars of American music, and to music lovers in general.
