Description: "Lionel Pike's analysis of Vaughan Williams' nine works reveals the hidden complexities that lie below the surface. Vaughan Williams and the Symphony has been written in the belief that 'RVW' has been consistently denied his rightful place in twentieth-century music and in the history of the symphony, and that close investigation can uncover elements of construction that show the mind of a genius at work."--Dust jacket.
