Written by a former student of Einstein's, this portrait draws on the influences and events that shaped his life and work as a Jewish scholar in pre-Nazi Germany and that necessitated his emigration to the United States. Dower provides more than one hundred examples of his criticisms that document the music of Germany and the United States in the second quarter of this century and that demonstrate the art of music criticism at its best. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluded is a chronology that is based on information provided by Einstein's daughter, Eva.
