Constant Lambert

Mr. Margot Fonteyn #1, the ballerina who must have been a feminist's nightmare. Wrote Music Ho!, a wonderful insight into the 1920's - 1930's musical scene.
All good music has already been composed was one of his claims. Interesting and profound. And not a great Stravinsky lover. Oh, those ostinati!!
