Description

A warm, personal memoir of one of Canada's best-known composers, this volume chronicles the remarkable life of Sophie-Carmen Eckhardt-Gramatté. Though she achieved recognition in Europe she really came into her own in the last stage of her life when she and her second husband, Ferdinand Eckhardt, emigrated to Winnipeg.
