Cyril Scott once described Percy Grainger as a `lovable eccentric'.
The Australian-American pianist, composer, ethnologist, and
aspiring `all-round man' was, however, more eccentric to his own
age than to ours. His views on the environment, food, the body,
participatory democracy, and sex all anticipated by several decades
views more typical of the mid-late twentieth century. Prolific as a
composer, performer, and recording artist, Grainger was an
indefatigable writer. This selection of forty-six essays about the
production, promotion, and propagation of music is drawn from his
over 150 public writings. Written between the turn of the century
and the early 1950s, these essays reveal Grainger's youthful
compositional plans, his ideas about piano technique, and his
enduring high regard for the music of Edvard Grieg, Frederick
Delius, and `Frankfurt Group' colleagues Cyril Scott, Roger
Quilter, and Henry Balfour Gardiner. Grainger on Music also pursues
his evolving thoughts about Nordic music, `Free Music',
instrumental usage, and his occasional suggestions for musical
development in Australia and the United States.
