This is an electronic version of the original booklet from 1925. 16 pages.
Studies of Contemporary American Composers was
a series of booklets issued by J Fischer & Bro to increase awareness
and interest in American composers. This one, by John Tasker Howard, contains
background information on Russell and comments on his music up to 1925.
Size of booklet is 6.0" x 9.0". Free. It is available
here,
free for you, as a PDF, and this is the only way it is available. I hope
that you will read this short booklet and learn about Russell and his relationship
with legendary Rodman Wanamaker, the organs in the stores, and Princeton University.
