Extract

Everyone who came to know Roger Huntington Sessions and to admire his music was always deeply impressed by his integrity as man and musician. For us his high moral stand revealed itself in every aspect of his mature life: in his music, in his teaching, in his essays, in his moments of light-hearted humour in social gatherings. This quality has been evident to me ever since I heard his First Symphony performed by the Boston Symphony in 1927.
