The World's Great Men of Music


Book Description

The World's Great Men of Music was written in 1922 by a piano teacher named Harriette Brower. Her love of the old composers was something she wanted to pass on to her students.The first group of composers she wrote about were Baroque and Classic. These included Palestrina, Bach, Handel, Gluck, Haydn and Mozart.Next came the Romance composers such as Beethoven, Von Weber, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin and Berlioz.These were follwed by the Impressionistic and Contemporary composers including Tschaikowsky, MacDowell, Debussy, Toscanini, Stokowski and Koussevitzky. Harriette Brower had the privilege of meeting and interviewing some of the composers in this group, as they were alive during her lifetime.Although the work seemed complete at that time, Mrs. Brower decided to write six more biographies of the Romance composers. These included Liszt, Verdi, Wagner, Franck, Brahms and Grieg.Music lovers will be intrigued with the surprising details of the lives of their favorite composers.
