Description: This book takes advantage of new and often surprising biographical research on the Loder family as a whole and its four main figures, using them to illustrate aspects of music history in the 19th century.
Review Quotes: This book is a major contribution to the history of British music. It is notoriously difficult to bring neglected composers to life but this study, produced to the highest standard, contains everything anyone would want to know about the Loder dynasty and deserves to succeed in raising its profile.--Peter Dickinson "MUSICAL OPINIION"
