Dorothy de Val provides an indispensable account of Lucy's interactions with key figures in musical circles and her influence upon a younger generation of composers and performers. The book reveals Lucy's part in the rapidly changing musical landscape at the turn of the century, and her development as a performer, arranger and composer.
