She is particularly known for her educational work at Dartington Hall in the 1940s, and for her 20 years as joint artistic director of the Aldeburgh Festival.

Reviews

[Kevin de Ataíde]

I don't know if I understood more than half of this book, but it looks like a decent and very comprehensive (if short, and rather clipped in its manner) reference for every type of musical term.
