AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Explores the many facets of the life, persona, artistic world and musical achievement of a unique Australian musician. Percy Aldridge Grainger is celebrated foremost as pianist and composer, but also as a pioneering folklore collector, musical arranger, 'free musician' and musical inventor, sometime visual artist, broadcaster, social commentator and archivist. Essayists Brian Allison, Malcolm Gillies, David Pear, Michael Piggott, Barry Peter Ould and Eleanor Tan provide a timely Australian retrospective of Grainger. This is a man whose driving instinct was to communicate every feature of his complex personal and aesthetic life, with his creative achievements played out across Australia, Europe and America.' (Publisher's blurb)

Notes

  • The exhibition Facing Percy Grainger was curated for the National Library of Australia by Brian Allison, David Pear and Martin Terry in association with the Grainger Collection, University of Melbourne.
