Jeremy ’s Reviews > Samuel Barber: The Composer and His Music > Status Update

Pretty slow book. I get antsy reading through all the detail mostly of reviews. I like the introduction to works and for the most part where he is in life while writing them.

Other books of interest about the Adagio for strings. See bookmark

Now we’re cooking.

Wow.

Slow to start but paints an intriguing picture of Barber being entranced by a live viewing of an opera at age 6.
