About the author

John F. Runciman

1866–1916

Best known as an English music critic with a fierce, lively style, he wrote about major composers in a way that mixed strong opinions with real enthusiasm. His books on figures like Wagner and Haydn offer a vivid glimpse of musical debate in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
