Review of Joseph Horowitz, Moral Fire: Musical Portraits from America’s Fin de Siècle (University of California Press, 2012).
March 2013, Volume 7, Number 1, 90–94.
In his most recent history, Moral Fire, Horowitz expands on the themes of his earlier work by exploring the careers and accomplishments of four remarkable individuals who played significant roles in American musical life in the late 19th century: Henry Higginson, the founder of the Boston Symphony Orchestra; Henry Edward Krehbiel, the chief music critic of the New York Tribune; Laura Langford, a Brooklyn socialite who advanced the cause of Wagnerism in America by founding the Seidl Society; and Charles Ives, the composer.
