Edward MacDowell: A Great American Tone Poet, His Life And Music is a book written by John F. Porte and published in 1922. The book is a comprehensive biography of Edward MacDowell, an American composer and pianist who lived from 1860 to 1908. The book covers MacDowell's life from his childhood in New York to his studies in Europe, where he was influenced by the German Romantic composers. It also delves into his personal life, including his marriage to Marian Nevins and his struggles with mental illness. The main focus of the book, however, is MacDowell's music. Porte provides detailed analyses of many of MacDowell's compositions, including his tone poems, piano works, and songs. He also discusses MacDowell's place in the American classical music scene and his contributions to the development of a distinct American musical style. Overall, Edward MacDowell: A Great American Tone Poet, His Life And Music is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and works of this important American composer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
