 Edward MacDowell (1860-1908)

According to The New Penguin Dictionary of Music, Edward [Alexander] MacDowell was an American composer, also pianist. Trained in France and Germany. Wrote many short piano pieces, somewhat after Grieg's manner, which once had wide popularity; also two piano concertos, "Hamlet and Ophelia" and other symphonic poems, songs, etc. The MacDowell Colony - a peaceful working place for composers and other artists, in New Hampshire - was organised in his memory.
