| Abstract | This volume is one of a series of short biographies derived from The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (London, 1980). In its original form, the text was written in the mid-1970s, and finalized at the end of that decade. For this reprint, the text has been re-read and modified by the original author (or in some cases his representative) and corrections and changes have been made. In particular, an effort has been made to bring the bibliography up to date and to incorporate the findings of recent research. |
| General note | First published in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (London: Macmillan, 1980). |
