SO WRITTEN TO AFTER-TIMES - A LIFE IN LETTERS; Editor Monica McCabe

A compilation of letters or extracts from letters between composer-pianist John McCabe and many leading composers and performers, from the UK and abroad. Also including letters home from his various foreign tours. Letters range from the scholastically interesting to the frivolous and the emotionally moving. Correspondents including Britten, Barbirolli, Ursula Vaughan Williams, David Bintley, Richard Rodney Bennett and David Matthews. The book is therefore interesting as  historical document, as an intimate disclosure of the thoughts of leading musicians and even as light-hearted bed-time reading.
