Rudolf Friml, Hardcover by Everett, William A., ISBN 0252033817, ISBN-13 9780252033810, Brand New, Free shipping in the US He studied with Dvorak, was amongst the charter members of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, and endured many parodies of what is probably his best-known composition, "Indian Love Call." However, Friml (1) was more than a composer of romantic 1920s operettas. He was also a skilled concert pianist, the composer of an incredibly wide range of music for Broadway, a film composer, and the source of serious piano concertos, orchestral works, and art songs. Everett (music history, U. of Missouri-Kansas City) considers the full range of Friml's work and places it within the period's theatrical and cinematic contexts, reviving his subject's significant contributions to the Indianist movement, Francophilia, Orientalism, and romantic nostalgia. The result returns the long-forbidden Friml to his place as a major force in twentieth-century music. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
