Sommario/riassunto |
|
Composer Johanna Beyer's fascinating body of music and enigmatic life story constitute an important chapter in American music history. Amy C. Beal chronicles Beyer's life from her early participation in New York's contemporary music scene through her performances at the Federal Music Project's Composers' Forum-Laboratory concerts to her unfortunate early death in 1944. |
