Description: Pianist, composer and aspiring polymath Percy Grainger (1882-1961) always intended to write an autobiography, but only left behind countless sketches. The editors have shaped these exotic sketches to reveal Grainger's views of his family, his friends and himself, as well as of fellow musicians and social acquaintances.
