Notes:

Includes bibliographical references (pages 255-256) and index."Classical music programming has expanded to an unprecedented extent, now including works by less familiar composers and underappreciated works by familiar names. At the center of this trend has been the musical legacy of Florence B. Price, an African American woman originally from Arkansas, later spending her career on the south side of Chicago. The rediscovery of Price's manuscripts in an abandoned house circa 2009, along with subsequent publishings, major label recordings, and Grammy Awards, has further fueled this development. This new biography of Price appraises her career and legacy."--
