	Piano Forte News * Charles Fierro on the Music of Edward MacDowell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		For one who has lived with the music of Edward MacDowell for twenty-five years, it is tempting to write of him as though he were in the pantheon of established composers.
		To remember MacDowell solely as the composer of "To a Wild Rose" is as unfair as remembering Beethoven solely for "Fur Elise" or Brahms only for his "Lullaby".
		MacDowell's rightful place in music history is up to the judgment of the listening public, of course, but this judgment cannot be made unless the music is played.
