More DescriptionThe Classics of Music assembles here for the first time all of Tovey's significant writings not previously available as a collection. For much of the twentieth century, Donald Francis Tovey (1875-1940) has been Britain's most celebrated and influential writer on music, largely as a result of the considerable corpus of his work published by Oxford University Press in the 1930s and 1940s.
