Abstract	This autobiography covers the life of one of today's outstanding composers down to 1952. As a very young man, Darius Milhaud was caught up in the high fever of intellectual life in Paris before the First World War, and took an active part in the great shattering of the idols and shibboleths of nineteenth century. One of the group known as "Les Six," and associated with Jean Cocteau and Erik Satie, he helped keep alight a spark of French musical genius which has grown into a beacon. As with all successful rebels, Milhaud has become something of a legendary figure with the passing of time, but he remains a prolific and daring innovator long past the age at which many artistic radicals turn conservative. For those especially interested in music, this book is perhaps one of the most exciting to have appeared in recent years. Milhaud has naturally known well most of the important musical figures of the century, and both the music he discusses and the events he details are living parts of contemporary culture. From his childhood familiarity with the well-preserved, ancient Jewish traditions of Provence, through his years in Paris, Rio de Janeiro, and the United States, he tells us what he did, where he went, whom he met, and how all this bore upon the creation of his--and other composers'--music.
