Reviews

'Robert Montgomery and Robert Threlfall must be congratulated for making this fascinating aspect of Delius's professional life available. It's a significant contribution to Delius scholarship, and one can only imagine the many months of researching this very complex story.' The Delian '... a fascinating case study for the business side of being a composer in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries... While Delius scholars will be the most obvious audience for this book there is much here for those researching other composers of that era or exploring the history of music publishing, copyright, performance rights, and other related topics... the introductory material on copyright and performance rights and some of the letters would serve well as assigned readings for music students as they prepare to enter the marketplace as performers, teachers, or composers. Many of Delius' concerns and frustrations at the difficulties of making a living as a composer still ring all too true today.' Canadian Association of Music Libraries 'Delius's papers furnish a fascinating case study not only because the extant letters prove so extensive, but also because his career spanned significant developments in music publishing... the picture they [the letters] paint, supplemented by Montgomery and Threlfall's introductory chapters, offers compelling evidence of copyright law's centrality in twentieth-century musical life...' Musicology Australia
