Lawrence Gilman war ein amerikanischer Autor und Musikkritiker, der später durch seine vernichtenden negativen Rezensionen von Kompositionen, die zu Klassikern wurden, berühmt wurde. Sein kritisches Auge und seine scharfe Prosa enthüllten eine einzigartige Perspektive auf musikalische Schöpfung und deren Rezeption. Gilmans Werk regt die Leser an, über den bleibenden Wert und die Wirkung von Musikstücken über Generationen hinweg nachzudenken.
