 | | A virtuoso musician in the Italian style who was rejected by many critics enamored of the Germanic tradition, Bull concertized extensively from Norway to Paris, Moscow, New York, San Francisco, and Cairo during a 50-year career. |
 | | Haugen documents not only the performance tours but also Bull's efforts to establish a Norwegian national theater. |
 | | Bull's relationships with such luminaries as Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Hans Christian Andersen, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow are detailed in such a way as to illuminate both the myth and the reality of this virtually forgotten, but fascinating, character. |
