Abstract | Huss (1862-1953) was a New York contemporary of the so-called "Boston Classicists." He was widely known and performed during the central portion of his career (1880-1920). This book includes an annotated worklist, with suggestions of pieces for further exploration by performers, a list of writings on musical topics, and numerous illustrations. The documentation extant about Huss from his time is immense, making this biography also a documentary study, and the bibliography is accordingly extensive. |
