Book Description:

Pianist, composer and aspiring polymath Percy Grainger (1882 -1961) always intended to write an autobiography, but only left behind countless sketches. Gillies, Pear and Carroll have shaped these exotic sketches to reveal Grainger's views of his family, his friends and himself, as well as of fellow musicians and social acquaintances. Music, sex, language, race and athletics all feature strongly in this well annotated and illustrated selection.
