Notes:

In “American Piano: An Appreciation” (32-52), the author appreciates “the Ives piano music, [because of] how its complexity, enclosed in the scope of a keyboard, mirrors that of a full orchestra.” In his “Oaxacan Journal” (65-116), he refers to Tone Roads, From the Steeples and the Mountains, and General William Booth Enters into Heaven and he argues that “Ives totally revolutionized the art song” (109).
