  \"Very Good for an American\": Essays on Edward MacDowell

  When critic James Huneker told conductor Theodore Thomas in 1889 that he thought Edward MacDowell’s Second Piano Concerto was “very good for an American

  ” Thomas replied indignantly

  “or for a German either.” This collection of essays explores topics of relevance to understanding MacDowell (1860-1908)

  who at the height of his career was widely recognized as America's leading composer. Contributors include F. Javier Albo

  Marianne Betz

  Francis Brancaleone

  John Graziano

  Michael Joiner

  Laura Pita

  Mark A. Radice

  and Robin Rausch.

  \"Very Good for an American\": Essays on Edward MacDowell

  The year 1917 was unlike any other in the history of American music. The United States entered World War I

  jazz burst onto the national scene

  and the German musicians who dominated classical music were forced from the stage. As the year progressed

  New Orleans natives Nick LaRocca and Freddie Keppard popularized the new genre of jazz

  a style that suited the frantic mood of the era. African-American bandleader James Reese Europe accepted the challenge of making the band of the Fifteenth New York Infantry into the best military band in the country. Orchestral conductors Walter Damrosch and Karl Muck met the public demand for classical music while also responding to new calls for patriotic music. Violinist Fritz Kreisler

  pianist Olga Samaroff

  and contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink gave American audiences the best of Old-World musical traditions while walking a tightrope of suspicion because of their German sympathies. Before the end of the year

  the careers of these eight musicians would be upended

  and music in America would never be the same.\n\"Making Music American\" recounts the musical events of this tumultuous year month by month from New Year's Eve 1916 to New Year's Day 1918. As the story unfolds

  the lives of these eight musicians intersect in surprising ways

  illuminating the transformation of American attitudes toward music both European and American.

  Making Music American: 1917 and the Transformation of Culture

  Drawing on private letters that were sealed for fifty years after his death

  this biography traces MacDowell's compelling life story

  with new revelations about his Quaker childhood

  his efforts to succeed in the insular German music world

  his career as the first music professor at Columbia University

  and the health problems that led to his premature death.
