Dvorak in America
"What a wonderful manuscript The most impressive aspect is the artful way the volume flows effortlessly from one chapter - and one section - to the next. Of all the books on American music at the turn of the century, none brings together so many interesting and richly interrelated dimensions as Dvorak in America. Congratulations " Dr. Robert Winter Chair, Department of Music, UCLA
