DOWNLOAD EBOOKChop's main claim to fame is his 1904 study of Delius, the first on the composer to be published; it laid the foundations for future Delius biographers.

In his day he was widely respected as a musicologist, music journalist and newspaper editor. He published a number of compositions.
