  For more than half of his long life, composer Roger Sessions was a commanding figure on the American musical scene. Yet he was a difficult composer. As the story is told, often in the composer's own words, the complex picture emerges of a remarkable man who, gradually learned, not very willingly, to accept his unexpected lot.
