Essays Before a Sonata, and Other WritingsW. W. Norton & Company, 1962 - 258 頁 The Essays Before a Sonata was conceived by Ives as a preface of sorts to the composition.

The writings in this collection--now featuring a comprehensive index-allow readers entry into the brilliant mind that produced some of America's most innovative musical works. |
