More about the book

Percy Grainger emerges as a pivotal figure in American music history, challenging traditional norms with his 'hyper-modernist' approach. His compositions feature bold dissonance, innovative folk song adaptations, and a reimagined modern orchestra. Grainger's exploration of 'ego-less' composition and his invention of machines aimed at enhancing musical creation further illustrate his avant-garde vision. This volume reassesses his social and historical relevance, highlighting his contributions to modernism alongside his contemporaries.
