Cecil Gray - His Life And Notebooks

Cecil Gray is mainly remembered as a provocative critic and writer on music. Among his books were such titles as Peter Warlock, Sibelius and Contingencies. In this unique volume the writer's daughter Pauline gives and extended biographical sketch, and introduces an extensive selection from Gray's notebooks in which he prognosticated in his characteristically forthright way on many aspects of life, music and art. An ebullient mixture of cantankerousness, extravagance and charm!
