Discovering Johann Nepomuk Hummel

[SonicMan46]

Just obtained the bio of Hummel shown below (cover, credits, table of contents including indices) by Mark Kroll and published in 2007.  The author is a keyboard performer and a Professor Emeritus of music at Boston University.

Despite the length of the book overall, the 'read' is about 340 pages w/ lots of notes after each chapter - up to chapter 3, most about him up to 10 or so years old and his time in the Mozart household for several years.  Does not contain much in the way of 'musical scores' which always confound my reading of these books - should be an enjoyable read. Borrowed from my local Wake Forest University library (believe I'm the first one to take the book out and has a due date in a year!  So seems to have no waiting list -  )  Dave
