Paul Leopold Rosenfeld (1890-1946) was an American journalist, best known as a music critic. He studied at Riverview Military Academy, Poughkeepsie, and Yale University, graduating in 1912. After further education at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, he became a prolific journalist, writing on literature and art as well as music. He was one of the Alfred Stieglitz circle, and favoured an intellectually-heavyweight and quite European approach. Magazines which published Rosenfeld’s writing included: The New Republic, Seven Arts, Vanity Fair magazine, The Nation, The Dial and Modern Music. He edited Seven Arts from 1916 to 1918, and was an editor of the American Caravan yearbooks. His works include: Musical Portraits: Interpretations of Twenty Modern Composers (1920), Musical Chronicle (1923), Port of New York (1924), Men Seen (1925), The Boy in the Sun (1928), By Way of Art (1928), An Hour With American Music (1929) and Discoveries of a Music Critic (1936). --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
