Reviews for Alexander Zemlinsky: A Lyric Symphony
Moskovitz has supplied a bibliography that is lively, encouraging, and informative. [...] Alexander Zemlinsky: A Lyric Symphony is a worthy introduction to a composer worth knowing. Zemlinsky's wait has been much too long. If his time has still not come, it is long overdue, and Moskovitz's book should help to hasten its arrival.
