The life of pianist, composer, conductor, and musical lexicographer Nicolas Slonimsky encompassed nearly all of the 20th Century music history. His 1988 autobiography, newly expanded by his daughter Electra Yourke tells the fascinating story of his journey from native Russia to France and the United Sates, where he became known as a champion of modern music.
This revised edition now features for the first time selections from his lively and informative letters, written during his extensive travels, and portions of his wide-ranging Oral History interview of California, Los Angeles.
