Jeffrey Dane

Jeffrey Dane, author,
with composer
Elmer Bernstein (Ten Commandments - The Magnificent Seven) at left

is a New York-based music historian, researcher and essayist whose work appears in the USA and abroad in several languages. His book, Beethoven's Pianos, was published by New York's Museum of the American Piano, and he's a contributor to several other volumes. He has a marked tendency to develop an almost emotional attachment to those people, living or not, whose work he studies. An eccentric preference of his is to deal with sensible people. He's been called by some a real idealist and by others an ideal realist. Both are right. He feels he's hitting his targets in his aim to make a contribution, even if it's ultimately only an incremental one, to the sum of human knowledge.

Jeffrey Dane says: "My aim is not to decorate but to illuminate, to show not the shadow but the substance of the subject, to go beyond simple documentation (anyone can report facts), to pierce the armor and enter the sanctum of personality and character.
