Book Description
Excerpt from Edward Macdowell, Reminiscences and Romance This booklet is the first of a series. It claims nothing more than an attempt to arouse greater interest among music students and music lovers in the music of our greatest American composer, Edward MacDowell. I make but one request. Please "try over on your piano" the compositions of his which I have named. The second booklet will relate impressions of Peterborough, as it is today, gained by a summer's personal sojourn there. It will also include "storied or pictorialed" interpretations of a dozen or more of MacDowell's New England "nature-music" sketches. The third booklet will present a more serious and comprehensive summary of MacDowell as a teacher, some characteristic qualities of his music, helpful suggestions for its study, to the amateur pianist or music student. These last two books will soon be published. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
