"The author of many important and fascinating musicological works
about this radical twentieth-century American composer, Hicks now
offers a volume that manages to depict the free artistic atmosphere
of northern California in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, the lives of Cowell's parents, Cowell's own experiences
until the late 1930s, and the ideas and materials of Cowell's
music--and to do so much more succinctly than one might think
possible. . . . Thoroughly documented and buttressed with
quotations and musical examples, this excellent study deserves to
be widely read."--Choice
