Ivory Apes and Peacocks: Essays about Poets, Painters, Composers, and Dramatists

According to Wikipedia: "James Gibbons Huneker (31 January 1857 - 9 February 1921) was an American music writer and critic, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He studied piano in Europe under Leopold Doutreleau and audited the Paris piano class of Chopin's pupil Georges Mathias. He came to New York City in 1885 and remained there until his death. In the U.S.A. he studied with Liszt's student, Rafael Joseffy, who became his friend and mentor. Huneker wrote the analysis and commentary on the complete works of Chopin for Schirmer's music publishing company. His analysis of all the piano solo works of Brahms, written shortly after that composer's complete works were published after his death, is highly regarded."
