Greatness In Music

by Alfred Einstein

In this penetrating exploration of the concept of artistic greatness, Alfred Einstein, the eminent musicologist & critic, addresses the problems of establishing universal standards of excellence for the evaluation of music. He examines the topical & political forces that have conditioned audiences so that they could not recognize the true worth of individual composers who were their contemporaries.
