Winthrop Sargeant (December 10, 1903 – August 15, 1986) was an American music critic, violinist, and writer.
He studied violin in his native city with Albert Elkus, and with Felix Prohaska and Lucien Capet in Europe.
In 1940, William Saroyan lists him among "contributing editors" at Time in the play, Love's Old Sweet Song.
He continued to write music criticism for that publication until his death in 1986 at the age of 82.
[4] Sargeant published his own English translation of the Bhagavad Gītā (see article) in 1979.
