Extremely important book about Ives

J. Peter Burkholder's book "All Made of Tunes" is one of the most important books about Ives's music. Burkholder's book exhaustively surveys Ives's music, identifying many ways in which Ives borrowed existing tunes (hymns, popular tunes, patriotic tunes, etc). There are many musical examples that support Burkholder's arguments, and the book also has one of the best bibliographies on Ives out there. For anyone with some musical training who's interested in how Ives borrowed tunes, this book is essential.
