DESCRIPTION:
Scores to Settle brings classical music to life through stories about the struggle to create and perform it. Following Grace Notes for a Year, Norman Gilliland’s popular earlier book of musical anecdotes, Scores to Settle brings together 366 brief true stories ranging from the inspirational to the burlesque, all of them illuminating the musical experience for composers, musicians, and listeners.
There are many wonderful anecdotes that give great insight into these composers and many of the events that shaped their lives and compositions. "I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book and wish its readers many enjoyable hours."—Edo de Waart
