Reviews

'Kelly has done her work thoroughly, and she writes with clarity and acuity... useful to all students of 20th-century music.' Choice 'Barbara Kelly's [...] volume is not only a welcome addition to new Milhaud scholarship but an impressiverly detailed study which directly sets out to challenge the conventional preconceptions associated with the composer, including his involvement with Les Six... Kelly's study represents an impressive reassessment of Milhaud's contribution to French music and should be deemed essential reading for all scholars of the period.' Frankfurter Zeitschrift für Musikwissenschaft
