Description
This delightful and wide-ranging memoir by the distinguished composer, pianist and editor Howard Ferguson offers a unique picture of many aspects of English 20th century musical life. His close involvement with the celebrated wartime National Gallery Concerts is detailed and there are perceptive pen-portraits of such figures as Gerald Finzi, Harold Samuel and Arnold van Wyk. He also discusses his important and extensive work as an editor, his diverse collection of manuscripts, and of course his own compositions.
