Ives, Charles. (1874–1954) [Taylor, Deems. (1886–1966)]. Annotated Music. A printed edition of Deems Taylor's Three Songs... Opus 13, with autograph annotation by Ives in the composer's characteristically colourful, often cryptic, and somewhat irreverent style. New York: J. Fischer & Brother, [c. 1920].
1f. (title, printed in dark brown ink), pp. 2-5 music, [i] publisher's advertisements, printed in dark brown ink.
With short autograph annotation to title-page in pencil: "(nice Tim Talle - NY Central to & fro [)]," and additional autograph annotation by Ives in pencil to head of first page of music, signed with his initials: "In my opinion, this is nice ribbon-counter music! The one thing that stands out strong in this music, is the proof that this nice composer never had an idea & never will have one until just after the 'Styx' & then he will get a nice one from somebody else. C.I."
"[Ives's] music is marked by an integration of American and European musical traditions, innovations in rhythm, harmony and form, and an unparalleled ability to evoke the sounds and feelings of American life. He is regarded as the leading American composer of art music of the 20th century..."
"[He] had an extraordinary working life. After professional training as an organist and composer, he worked in insurance for 30 years, composing in his free time. He used a wide variety of styles, from tonal Romanticism to radical experimentation, even in pieces written during the same period. His major works often took years from first sketch to final revisions, and most pieces lay unperformed for decades. His self-publications in the early 1920s brought a small group of admirers who worked to promote his music. He soon ceased to compose new works, focussing instead on revising and preparing for performance the works he had already drafted. By his death he had received many performances and honours, and much of his music had been published. His reputation continued to grow posthumously, and by his centenary in 1974 he was recognized worldwide as the first composer to create a distinctively American art music. Since then his music has been frequently performed and recorded and his reputation has broadened further, resting less on his innovations and nationality and more on the intrinsic merits of his music."
"The unique circumstances of Ives’s career have bred misunderstandings. His work in insurance, combined with the diversity of his output and the small number of performances during his composing years, led to an image of Ives as an amateur. Yet he had a 14-year career as a professional organist and thorough formal training in composition. Since he developed as a composer out of the public eye, his mature works seemed radical and unconnected to the past when they were first published and performed. However, as his earlier music has become known, his deep roots in 19th-century European Romanticism and his gradual development of a highly personal modern idiom have become clear." (J. Peter Burkholder et al in Grove Online)
