description: A biography of American composer Charles Edward Ives. From the "It has seemed to the writers that a composer writes most usefully about another composer when he shows what goes on in the music and why, both from the craftsman's point of view and, if he can, from personal knowledge of his subject's creative intention. So the present book is history, not criticism. Its limitations, like its virtues if it has any, are inherent in its position as a first book about Ives, written during his lifetime by two friends, one of them a composer who has been associated with Ives and his music for twenty-six years." Appendix includes "A List of the Contributions of Charles Edward Ives" and Bibliography; also included is an Index.
