My Years of Indiscretion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025859910)

"My Years of Indiscretion" is a captivating and candid autobiographical work by the renowned British composer and author, Cyril Scott. Written during the height of his creative influence in the early 20th century, this memoir provides a fascinating window into the life of one of the most original voices in modern music. Scott recounts his formative years, his education in Frankfurt, and his subsequent rise within the European musical scene, offering intimate portraits of the intellectual and artistic circles he frequented.

Beyond the technicalities of musical composition, the narrative explores Scott's evolving philosophy and his encounters with various cultural luminaries of the era. With wit and self-reflection, he details his "indiscretions"-the unconventional choices and experimental paths that shaped his career and personal worldview. The book serves not only as a personal history but also as a vibrant chronicle of a period marked by profound cultural shift and artistic innovation. "My Years of Indiscretion" remains a vital resource for readers interested in the development of 20th-century music, the social history of the Edwardian and post-war periods, and the inner life of a complex, visionary artist.
