The ever-fascinating Maynard Solomon, author of the first psychoanalytical study of Beethoven and the first biography to suggest that Schubert was an active homosexual, died on September 28 at the age of 90.

Together with his brother Seymour, Maynard founded the Vanguard record label in 1950, launching the folk revolution with Joan Baez, Odetta, Phil Ochs and the Weavers are their early stars.
