Appendix
A fascinating book ... I commend this book to anyone interested in
how composers of the time earned an income.
*SPIRITED MAGAZINE, ENGLISH MUSIC FESTIVAL*
This study widens our understanding of the place of Elgar's music
in terms of social, cultural and economic context ... Drysdale's
excellent analysis of Elgar's earnings shows the benefits that
economically-focused studies of composers bring to the more
contextual understanding of the life decisions and artistic choices
they made.
*MUSICAL TIMES, December 2013*
Drysdale [...] should be congratulated on adding a new chapter in
Elgar studies.
*MUSICAL OPINION*
This is a rare, maybe even unique, book. [...] An unexpected,
revealing, and truly fascinating book and one which I recommend
wholeheartedly.
*ELGAR SOCIETY JOURNAL*
