Abstract
This chapter presents a selection of Grainger's comments about music and musicians. It begins with a discussion of the expressive potential of music, and music's inability to address more than one issue or emotion at a time, unlike other art forms. Music can, however, provide the spirit of a situation in a way other arts cannot. Other writings include Grainger's summary upon his year in Europe (1923) and his views on different national responses to music. The chapter includes many vignettes of various musicians' views of one another: Balfour Gardiner on Vaughan Williams, Imogen Holst, and Arnold Bax; Grieg and Grainger in their approach to folk music. “Nordic” composers such as Jean Sibelius, Carl Nielsen, and Vaughan Williams disappointed Grainger. These recollections include his pleasure at being introduced to Stravinsky by Sir Thomas Beecham, and a concluding description of Grainger's tensions with his one-time piano teacher, Ferruccio Busoni.
