Title: A "must read"
Review: For anyone interested in the life of Ives, in addition to his music, this book is a "must read." It is enlightening in it's approach to his personal life - which is so obvious in his music. There is an equitable blend of personal and musical background information by many notable composers, friends and business associates. The book has just enough photography to support context, not that Ives was a camera hog.I had the opportunity and priveledge to attend the Bard Music Festival for performances of some of my favorite Ives pieces. It was fantastic.I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Ives legacy and especially to any student of composition.
