| Abstract: |
The article discusses two biographies of composers. The first biography is about Percy Aldridge Grainger, an Australian-born British-US composer, pianist, and polemicist. The author of the biography, Teresa Balough, provides a comprehensive overview of Grainger's life and work, focusing on the positive aspects and his contributions to music. The second biography is about Vagn Holmboe, a Danish composer who was active in the second half of the 20th century. The author, Thomas Michelsen, highlights Holmboe's significance as a composer in Scandinavia and his influence on the music scene in Denmark. [Extracted from the article] |
