This review is from: American Piano Trios (Hardcover)
"American Piano Trios", by Arno Drucker, belongs in the library of every music school in the country and on the bookshelf (sandwiched between Cobbett's and Groves) of every educator and serious music lover. This is a book of astonishing thoroughness and scholarship. Who could guess that the heritage of AMERICAN chamber music - in this case, Piano Trios - would be so vast and sumptuous.I knew Samuel Barlow in New York many years ago, but I had no idea that he was a composer, much less a composer of a piano trio and an opera, Mon Ami Pierrot, which "was the first by an American to be produced at the Opera Comique in Paris (1935)." Hundreds of American composers, from Samuel Adler to Ellen Zwilich, are listed with some fascinating biographical sketches and descriptions of their music. There are names, addresses, and in some cases, Web sites, of virtually every piano trio active today. Arno Drucker has blessed us, those of us who are passionate about chamber music, with an indispensable resource guide. |
