His influence as an arts administrator, educator and composer caused him to be considered at one time as probably the most powerful figure in the world of art music.Complex, driven, and filled with a confident optimism that characterized America at the time, Schuman thought of himself as a part of many different worlds.

His music has been characterized as full of American directness in its vibrant rhythms and brilliant orchestrations. This firstever complete biography of Schuman brings the many threads of his life together within the context of the personalities and events that shaped how we experience the arts in America in the twentyfirst century.
