According to The Times, "though a skilled contrapuntist and scholar, notably of Bach, he published little ... but [at the Reid School] was able to sustain the high standards of musicianship, scholarship and performance established during Tovey's reign—indeed he was a less erratic conductor".[1] He died, aged 65, only a year after retiring from the Reid chair.
