"This book . . . provides a necessary reassessment of this remarkable composer and paints a portrait of a man who handled his painful situation with rare equanimity."
BBC Magazine
"The presence of a major representative of the Central-European Romantic tradition in a small city in post-Second World War America is a tale worth telling. Veronika Kusz tells it well."

"Kusz’s approach to the analysis of Dohnányi’s late works differs from that of previous studies in that it considers sources that were never before considered in this context. . . . This book is valuable to music scholars and to those interested in Hungarian topics in fields outside of music; and even in analysis chapters, where the work is most technical, Kusz provides context that is accessible and of interest to non-specialists."
