   When did Robert Layton start composing music?

   • Layton’s music heyday ran from the early 1950s to the early 2000s. His books were not numerous but his choices of subject were telling. Rather like another Robert (Robert Simpson - also a composer) he waved the flag for Sibelius and Nielsen. It is all too easy to forget that both composers were fairly abstruse figures until the 1970s.
