http://schema.org/description
- "The two men soon found that, despite their half-century difference in age, they had many affinities. Both were pianists of staggering abilities and composers who combined a love for folk-music and working-class art with an aesthetic that proposed a ̀world music' to include the farthest reaches of humanity. Both made an art of piano trascription of a wide variety of works and were champions of little-known music and composers. And both revered the work of Walt Whitman, that great poet of inclusivity, the pioneering spirit and the open road."
- "In 1957 the Australian-American composer percy Grainger, then 75 and in failing health, receivedaletter from another pianist-composer, the young Ronald Stevenson, writing form his home in West Linton, below Edinburgh. That first contact-requesting Grainger's reminiscences of Ferruccio Busoni, with whom he had studied-led to an exchange of 32 letters over the four years before Grainger's death in February 1961."
- "This book presents both the complete Grainger-Stevenson Correspondence and Ronald Stevenson's many articles and lectures on Grainger and his music, edited by Teresa Balough, whose two interviews with Stevenson open and close the volume-which includes a CD of a lecture-recital on Grainger that Stevenson presented in Grainger's home in White Plains, New York, in 1976. --Book Jacket."
