Louis Charles Elson, critico musicale americano (1848 - 1920). Come Chadwick studiò dapprima a Boston e poi a Lipsia (teoria musicale con K. Gloggner-Castelli). Collaborò a numerosi periodici di Boston, Berlino, Parigi e Buenos Aires e dal 1890 fu insegnante al New England Conservatory. Elson rewieved a number of concerts featuring either Busoni or his music. He also translated into English the annotations to Busoni's edition of Bach's Two-Part Inventions in the Breitkopf & Härtel printing (1892).
