In a new biography of Vincent Persichetti, she provides not only an account of the life and times of one of the most important composer-teachers of that time, but above all a stimulus to reconsider and reevaluate his work. Especially welcome is Olmstead's recreation of his vivid personality, the naturalness of his gifts, and his varied and colorful friendships with his colleagues. -- John H. Harbison, composer, professor of music, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyThis comprehensive biography of Vincent Persichetti, by one of his longtime colleagues at The Juilliard School, admirably serves both the composer's memory and his music.
