This book is a biography of French composer Albert Charles Paul Marie Roussel (1869-1937). After spending seven years as a midshipman, he turned to music as an adult and became one of the most prominent French composers of that period. His early works were strongly influenced by the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel, while he later turned toward neoclassicism. The first four chapters of the book are chronological (1869-1894, 1894-1909, 1909-1922, and 1922-1937). The next section is broken down as to the type of composition he wrote including Symphonies, the Orchestral, Dramatic, Piano, and Choral Works, Ballets, Songs, and Chamber Music. Each section includes a list of compositions of that category. The book concludes with a chapter about "The Man and The Composer," followed by two appendixes and an index. The author, Norman Demuth (1898 – 1968) was an English composer and musicologist, currently remembered largely for his biographies of French composers of which this biography of Albert Roussel is one.
