Aaron Copland--A Reader

Selected Writings 1923-72

Edited by Richard Kostelanetz

Routledge, 368 pages, $30

Aaron Copland was a wonderful man as well as a fine composer. Humane, generous, intelligent, articulate, lovable, and wise, he was without arrogance despite his great success against long odds as a lower-middle-class Jewish homosexual--and no other musician in America has ever been as successful in so many different ways as Copland. He made many friends and no enemies, he never compromised his personal or artistic integrity, he never sullied his inherent grace or modesty, and he never ceased his tireless work for the cause of music. "I helped to make art possible in America" was his proudest boast. His legacy, the Copland Foundation, continues to support musicians today, as his accomplishment continues to inspire them.
