This is study of Premonitions, a short piece for chamber orchestra by Charles Ives. Feder traces the themes of Ives's aggression and guilt toward his father as the crucial factors in his periodic lack of productivity. Premonitions, the author argues, marks the creative death of the son which coincides in chronological age with the actual death of the father.
