I offer it to those enthusiastic admirers of Wagner who are unable\n      to follow his ideas, and do not in the least understand the dilemma of\n      Wotan, though they are filled with indignation at the irreverence of the\n      Philistines who frankly avow that they find the remarks of the god too\n      often tedious and nonsensical. Now to be devoted to Wagner merely as a dog\n      is devoted to his master, sharing a few elementary ideas, appetites and\n      emotions with him, and, for the rest, reverencing his superiority without\n      understanding it, is no true Wagnerism. Yet nothing better is possible\n      without a stock of ideas common to master and disciple. Unfortunately, the\n      ideas of the revolutionary Wagner of 1848 are taught neither by the\n      education nor the experience of English and American gentlemen-amateurs,\n      who are almost always political mugwumps, and hardly ever associate with\n      revolutionists. The earlier attempts to translate his numerous pamphlets\n      and essays into English, resulted in ludicrous mixtures of pure nonsense\n      with the absurdest distorsions of his ideas into the ideas of the\n      translators. We now have a translation which is a masterpiece of\n      interpretation and an eminent addition to our literature; but that is not\n      because its author, Mr. Ashton Ellis, knows the German dictionary better\n      than his predecessors. He is simply in possession of Wagner's ideas, which\n      were to them inconceivable.\n    \n\n      All I pretend to do in this book is to impart the ideas which are most\n      likely to be lacking in the conventional Englishman's equipment. I came by\n      them myself much as Wagner did, having learnt more about music than about\n      anything else in my youth, and sown my political wild oats subsequently in\n      the revolutionary school. This combination is not common in England; and\n      as I seem, so far, to be the only publicly articulate result of it, I\n      venture to add my commentary to what has already been written by musicians\n      who are no revolutionists, and revolutionists who are no musicians.

This piece I own was originally writ for\nthe celebrating the Marriage of James Chaunter and Moll\nLay, two most excellent Ballad-Singers. I have\nintroduced the Similes that are in all your celebrated Operas:\nThe Swallow, the Moth, the Bee, the\nShip, the Flower, \u0026amp;c. Besides, I have a\nPrison-Scene, which the Ladies always reckon charmingly\npathetic. As to the Parts, I have observed such a nice\nImpartiality to our two Ladies, that it is impossible for either\nof them to take Offence.

The author\r\n      had devoted himself for a long time to the study of Beethoven and\r\n      carefully scrutinized all manner of books, publications, manuscripts,\r\n      etc., in order to derive the greatest possible information about the hero.\r\n      He can say confidently that he conned every existing publication of value.\r\n      His notes made during his readings grew voluminous, and also his amazement\r\n      at the wealth of Beethovens observations comparatively unknown to his\r\n      admirers because hidden away, like concealed violets, in books which have\r\n      been long out of print and for whose reproduction there is no urgent call.\r\n      These observations are of the utmost importance for the understanding of\r\n      Beethoven, in whom man and artist are inseparably united. Within the pages\r\n      of this little book are included all of them which seemed to possess\r\n      value, either as expressions of universal truths or as evidence of the\r\n      character of Beethoven or his compositions. Beethoven is brought more\r\n      directly before our knowledge by these his own words than by the diffuse\r\n      books which have been written about him. For this reason the compiler has\r\n      added only the necessary explanatory notes, and (on the advice of\r\n      professional friends) the remarks introductory to the various subdivisions\r\n      of the book. He dispensed with a biographical introduction; there are\r\n      plenty of succinct biographies, which set forth the circumstances of the\r\n      masters life easily to be had. Those who wish to penetrate farther into\r\n      the subject would do well to read the great work by Thayer, the foundation\r\n      of all Beethoven biography (in the new revision now making by Deiters), or\r\n      the critical biography by Marx, as revised by Behncke. In sifting the\r\n      material it was found that it fell naturally into thirteen subdivisions.\r\n      In arranging the succession of utterances care was had to group related\r\n      subjects. By this means unnecessary interruptions in the train of thought\r\n      were avoided and interesting comparisons made possible. To this end it was\r\n      important that time, place and circumstances of every word should be\r\n      conscientiously set down.\r\n    \n\r\n      Concerning the selection of material let it be said that in all cases of\r\n      doubt the authenticity of every utterance was proved; Beethoven is easily\r\n      recognizable in the form and contents of his sayings. Attention must be\r\n      directed to two matters in particular: after considerable reflection the\r\n      compiler decided to include in the collection a few quotations which\r\n      Beethoven copied from books which he read. From the fact that he took the\r\n      trouble to write them down, we may assume that they had a fascination for\r\n      him, and were greeted with lively emotion as being admirable expressions\r\n      of thoughts which had moved him. They are very few, and the fact that they\r\n      are quotations is plainly indicated. By copying them into his note-books\r\n      Beethoven as much as stored them away in the thesaurus of his thoughts,\r\n      and so they may well have a place here. A word touching the use of the\r\n      three famous letters to Bettina von Arnim, the peculiarities of which\r\n      differentiate them from the entire mass of Beethovens correspondence and\r\n      compel an inquiry into their genuineness: As a correspondent Bettina von\r\n      Arnim has a poor reputation since the discovery of her pretty forgery,\r\n      Goethes Briefwechsel mit einem Kinde (Goethes Correspondence with a\r\n      Child). In this alleged Correspondence she made use of fragmentary\r\n      material which was genuine, pieced it out with her own inventions, and\r\n      even went so far as to turn into letters poems written by Goethe to her\r\n      and other women. The genuineness of a poem by Beethoven to Bettina is\r\n      indubitable; it will be found in the chapter entitled Concerning Texts.\r\n       Doubt was thrown on the letters immediately on their appearance in 1839.\r\n    \n\r\n      Bettina could have dissipated all suspicion had she produced the originals\r\n      and remained silent. One letter, however, that dated February 10, 1811,\r\n      afterward came to light. Bettina had given it to Philipp von Nathusius. It\r\n      had always been thought the most likely one, of the set to be authentic;\r\n      the compiler has therefore, used it without hesitation. From the other\r\n      letters, in which a mixture of the genuine and the fictitious must be\r\n      assumed so long as the originals are not produced, passages have been\r\n      taken which might have been thus constructed by Beethoven. On the\r\n      contrary, the voluminous communications of Bettina to Goethe, in which she\r\n      relates her conversations with Beethoven, were scarcely used. It is\r\n      significant, so far as these are concerned, that, according to Bettinas\r\n      own statement, when she read the letter to him before sending it off,\r\n      Beethoven cried out, Did I really say that? If so I must have had a\r\n      raptus.\r\n     \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 3528 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Beethoven, Ludwig van \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 1, 2002 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Kerst, Friedrich, 1870-1961 , Krehbiel, Henry Edward, 1854-1923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Beethoven, Ludwig van,1770-1827 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212360188061,"sku":"gb-3528-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/3528_7df103a0-c2a0-49df-b98c-e98cee220f46.jpg?v=1671256145"},{"product_id":"essays-before-a-sonata-gb-3673","title":"Essays Before a Sonata","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEssays Before a Sonata\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nCharles Ives (1874-1954) was probably one of the most\r\npsycho-intellectually brilliant, imaginative and flexible Americans to\r\never \"walk the land of freedom.\"  A graduate of Yale, he became a\r\nmulti-millionaire in the American insurance industry, introducing\r\nbrilliant innovations within that industry.  He also, unlike a few\r\ncomposers, found the time and the money (being a shrewd and practical\r\nbusinessman) to get married and have children.\r\n\n\r\nHis accomplishments for which he is best known, however, are those in\r\nthe field of music.  At the time of its composition, Ives' music was\r\nprobably the most radically modern in history, and by itself had enough\r\nmaterial to serve as the foundation of modern 20th century music.  For\r\nexample, at the turn of the century, this eccentric composer created\r\nband works featuring multiple melodies of multiple time signatures\r\nopposing and complimenting each other within the same piece.  Ives was\r\nalso a revolutionary atonal composer, who created, essentially without\r\nprecedent, many atonal works that not only pre-date those of\r\nSchoenberg, but are just as sophisticated, and arguably even more so,\r\nthan those of the 12-tone serialist.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 3673 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Ives, Charles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2003 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Ives, Charles,1874-1954 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212369035421,"sku":"gb-3673-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/3673_98a6fcc0-c12e-4409-8bed-701d9777aeaf.jpg?v=1671256497"},{"product_id":"letters-of-franz-liszt-volume-1-gb-3689","title":"Letters of Franz Liszt -- Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLetters of Franz Liszt -- Volume 1\r - from Paris to Rome: Years of Travel as a Virtuoso\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis should be the first thing seen when anyone opens the book.\r\nDo not change or edit it without written permission.

It is a short, glowing, and generous sketch,\n      from the hand of Franz Liszt, (who, considered in the double light of\n      composer and performer, has no living equal,) of the original and romantic\n      Chopin; the most ethereal, subtle, and delicate among our modern\n      tone-poets. It is a rare thing for a great artist to write on art, to\n      leave the passionate worlds of sounds or colors for the colder realm of\n      words; rarer still for him to abdicate, even temporarily, his own throne,\n      to stand patiently and hold aloft the blazing torch of his own genius, to\n      illume the gloomy grave of another: yet this has Liszt done through love\n      for Chopin.\n    \n\n      It is a matter of considerable interest to note how the nervous and agile\n      fingers, accustomed to sovereign rule over the keys, handle the pen; how\n      the musician feels as a man; how he estimates art and artists. Liszt is a\n      man of extensive culture, vivid imagination, and great knowledge of the\n      world; and, in addition to their high artistic value, his lines glow with\n      poetic fervor, with impassioned eloquence. His musical criticisms are\n      refined and acute, but without repulsive technicalities or scientific\n      terms, ever sparkling with the poetic ardor of the generous soul through\n      which the discriminating, yet appreciative awards were poured. Ah! in\n      these days of degenerate rivalries and bitter jealousies, let us welcome a\n      proof of affection so tender as his \"Life of Chopin\"!\n    \n\n      It would be impossible for the reader of this book to remain ignorant of\n      the exactions of art. While, through its eloquence and subtle analysis of\n      character, it appeals to the cultivated literary tastes of our people, it\n      opens for them a dazzling perspective into that strange world of tones, of\n      whose magical realm they know, comparatively speaking, so little. It is\n      intelligible to all who think or feel; requiring no knowledge of music for\n      its comprehension.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4386 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Liszt, Franz \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 1, 2003 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Cook, Martha Walker, 1806-1874 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Liszt, Franz,1811-1886 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212416680093,"sku":"gb-4386-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/4386_0abee515-8b05-45fa-9466-38e6a96fb94e.jpg?v=1671277953"},{"product_id":"on-conducting-ueber-das-dirigiren-a-treatise-on-style-in-the-execution-of-classical-music-gb-4523","title":"On Conducting (Üeber Das Dirigiren) : A Treatise on Style in the Execution of Classical Music","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOn Conducting (Üeber Das Dirigiren) : A Treatise on Style in the Execution of Classical Music\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n         You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of\n        any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the\n        electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of\n        receipt of the work.\n    \n\n1.F.3.

The former may\r\nhopefully pursue an ideal, the latter must rest satisfied with a\r\ncompromise between the desirable and the necessary. No doubt, it\r\nis possible to thoroughly digest all the requisite material, and\r\nthen present it in a perfect, beautiful form. But this can only\r\nbe done at a terrible loss, at a sacrifice of truth and\r\ntrustworthiness. My guiding principle has been to place before\r\nthe reader the facts collected by me as well as the conclusions\r\nat which I arrived. This will enable him to see the subject in\r\nall its bearings, with all its pros and cons, and to draw his own\r\nconclusions, should mine not obtain his approval.

Chopin's violence was psychic, a travailing and groaning of\r\nthe spirit; the bright roughness of adventure was missing from his\r\nquotidian existence. The tragedy was within. One recalls Maurice\r\nMaeterlinck: \"Whereas most of our life is passed far from blood, cries\r\nand swords, and the tears of men have become silent, invisible and\r\nalmost spiritual.\" Chopin went from Poland to Francefrom Warsaw to\r\nPariswhere, finally, he was borne to his grave in Pere la Chaise. He\r\nlived, loved and died; and not for him were the perils, prizes and\r\nfascinations of a hero's career. He fought his battles within the walls\r\nof his soulwe may note and enjoy them in his music. His outward state\r\nwas not niggardly of incident though his inner life was richer,\r\nnourished as it was in the silence and the profound unrest of a being\r\nthat irritably resented every intrusion. There were events that left\r\nineradicable impressions upon his nature, upon his work: his early\r\nlove, his sorrow at parting from parents and home, the shock of the\r\nWarsaw revolt, his passion for George Sand, the death of his father and\r\nof his friend Matuszynski, and the rupture with Madame Sandthese were\r\ncrises of his history. All else was but an indeterminate factor in the\r\nscheme of his earthly sojourn. Chopin though not an anchorite resembled\r\nFlaubert, being both proud and timid; he led a detached life, hence his\r\nart was bold and violent. Unlike Liszt he seldom sought the glamor of\r\nthe theatre, and was never in such public view as his maternal admirer,\r\nSand. He was Frederic Francois Chopin, composer, teacher of piano and a\r\nlyric genius of the highest range.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4939 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Huneker, James \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Huneker, James,1857-1921 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212470943901,"sku":"gb-4939-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/4939_90c4099b-f70f-4cff-b65b-e7ad8432876d.jpg?v=1671279295"},{"product_id":"brandenburg-concerto-no-2-in-f-major-bwv-1047-gb-4949","title":"Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F Major, BWV 1047","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F Major, BWV 1047\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4949 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bach, Johann Sebastian \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Bach, Johann Sebastian,1685-1750 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212471697565,"sku":"gb-4949-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/bookcover_802a9513-93cf-4466-b1df-cbcc2db28168.jpg?v=1671279316"},{"product_id":"string-quartet-no-02-in-g-major-opus-18-gb-4950","title":"String Quartet No. 02 in G major Opus 18","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Quartet No. 02 in G major Opus 18\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4950 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Beethoven, Ludwig van \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Beethoven, Ludwig van,1770-1827 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212471730333,"sku":"gb-4950-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/bookcover_0988f84c-3f10-42ed-a629-2fb5cfdeea62.jpg?v=1671279319"},{"product_id":"string-quartet-no-17-in-b-flat-major-hunt-k-458-gb-4951","title":"String Quartet No. 17 in B flat major, \"Hunt\", K. 458","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Quartet No. 17 in B flat major, \"Hunt\", K. 458\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4951 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus,1756-1791 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212471763101,"sku":"gb-4951-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/bookcover_7670e126-198e-4278-95d9-1c37386ed3c7.jpg?v=1671279321"},{"product_id":"frederick-chopin-as-a-man-and-musician-volume-2-gb-4972","title":"Frederick Chopin, as a Man and Musician — Volume 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrederick Chopin, as a Man and Musician — Volume 2\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE loves of famous men and women, especially of those connected\r\nwith literature and the fine arts, have always excited much\r\ncuriosity. In the majority of cases the poet's and artist's\r\nchoice of a partner falls on a person who is incapable of\r\ncomprehending his aims and sometimes even of sympathising with\r\nhis striving. The question \"why poets are so apt to choose their\r\nmates, not for any similarity of poetical endowment, but for\r\nqualities which might make the happiness of the rudest\r\nhandicrafts-man as well as that of the ideal craftsman\" has\r\nperhaps never been better answered than by Nathaniel Hawthorne,\r\nwho remarks that \"at his highest elevation the poet needs no\r\nhuman intercourse; but he finds it dreary to descend, and be a\r\nstranger.\" Still, this is by no means a complete solution of the\r\nproblem which again and again presents itself and challenges our\r\ningenuity. Chopin and George Sand's case belongs to the small\r\nminority of loves where both parties are distinguished\r\npractitioners of ideal crafts. Great would be the mistake,\r\nhowever, were we to assume that the elective affinities of such\r\nlovers are easily discoverable On the contrary, we have here\r\nanother problem, one which, owing to the higher, finer, and more\r\nvaried factors that come into play, is much more difficult to\r\nsolve than the first. But before we can engage in solving the\r\nproblem, it must be properly propounded. Now, to ascertain facts\r\nabout the love-affairs of poets and artists is the very reverse\r\nof an easy task; and this is so partly because the parties\r\nnaturally do not let outsiders into all their secrets, and partly\r\nbecause romantic minds and imaginative litterateurs are always\r\nbusy developing plain facts and unfounded rumours into wonderful\r\nmyths. The picturesqueness of the story, the piquancy of the\r\nanecdote, is generally in inverse proportion to the narrator's\r\nknowledge of the matter in question. In short, truth is only too\r\noften most unconscionably sacrificed to effect. Accounts, for\r\ninstance, such as L. Enault and Karasowski have given of Chopin's\r\nfirst meeting with George Sand can be recommended only to those\r\nwho care for amusing gossip about the world of art, and do not\r\nmind whether what they read is the simple truth or not, nay, do\r\nnot mind even whether it has any verisimilitude. Nevertheless, we\r\nwill give these gentlemen a hearing, and then try if we cannot\r\nfind some firmer ground to stand on.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4972 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Niecks, Frederick \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Niecks, Frederick,1845-1924 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212473139357,"sku":"gb-4972-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/4972_4ba511cc-16e8-415c-8b25-cee70862bcba.jpg?v=1671279378"},{"product_id":"frederick-chopin-as-a-man-and-musician-complete-gb-4973","title":"Frederick Chopin, as a Man and Musician — Complete","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrederick Chopin, as a Man and Musician — Complete\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      BESIDES minor corrections, the present edition contains the correction of\n      the day and year of Frederick Francis Chopin's birth, which have been\n      discovered since the publication of the second edition of this work.\n      According to the baptismal entry in the register of the Brochow parish\n      church, he who became the great pianist and immortal composer was born on\n      February 22, 1810. This date has been generally accepted in Poland, and is\n      to be found on the medal struck on the occasion of the semi-centenary\n      celebration of the master's death. Owing to a misreading of musicus for\n      magnificus in the published copy of the document, its trustworthiness has\n      been doubted elsewhere, but, I believe, without sufficient cause. The\n      strongest argument that could be urged against the acceptance of the date\n      would be the long interval between birth and baptism, which did not take\n      place till late in April, and the consequent possibility of an error in\n      the registration. This, however, could only affect the day, and perhaps\n      the month, not the year. It is certainly a very curious circumstance that\n      Fontana, a friend of Chopin's in his youth and manhood, Karasowski, at\n      least an acquaintance, if not an intimate friend, of the family (from whom\n      he derived much information), Fetis, a contemporary lexicographer, and\n      apparently Chopin's family, and even Chopin himself, did not know the date\n      of the latter's birth.\n    \n\n      Where the character of persons and works of art are concerned, nothing is\n      more natural than differences of opinion. Bias and inequality of knowledge\n      sufficiently account for them. For my reading of the character of George\n      Sand, I have been held up as a monster of moral depravity; for my daring\n      to question the exactitude of Liszt's biographical facts, I have been\n      severely sermonised; for my inability to regard Chopin as one of the great\n      composers of songs, and continue uninterruptedly in a state of ecstatic\n      admiration, I have been told that the publication of my biography of the\n      master is a much to be deplored calamity. Of course, the moral monster and\n      author of the calamity cannot pretend to be an unbiassed judge in the\n      case; but it seems to him that there may be some exaggeration and perhaps\n      even some misconception in these accusations.\n    \n\n      As to George Sand, I have not merely made assertions, but have earnestly\n      laboured to prove the conclusions at which I reluctantly arrived. Are\n      George Sand's pretentions to self-sacrificing saintliness, and to purely\n      maternal feelings for Musset, Chopin, and others to be accepted in spite\n      of the fairy-tale nature of her \"Histoire,\" and the misrepresentations of\n      her \"Lettres d'un Voyageur\" and her novels \"Elle et lui\" and \"Lucrezia\n      Floriani\"; in spite of the adverse indirect testimony of some of her other\n      novels, and the adverse direct testimony of her \"Correspondance\"; and in\n      spite of the experiences and firm beliefs of her friends, Liszt included?\n      Let us not overlook that charitableness towards George Sand implies\n      uncharitableness towards Chopin, place. Need I say anything on the\n      extraordinary charge made against menamely, that in some cases I\n      have preferred the testimony of less famous men to that of Liszt? Are\n      genius, greatness, and fame the measures of trustworthiness?\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4973 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Niecks, Frederick \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Niecks, Frederick,1845-1924 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212473172125,"sku":"gb-4973-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/4973_71a02b51-9da1-4472-aa52-11830776de2e.jpg?v=1671279379"},{"product_id":"my-life-volume-2-gb-5144","title":"My Life — Volume 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMy Life — Volume 2\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMINNA had been lucky enough to find quarters near Zurich which\r\ncorresponded very closely with the wishes I had so emphatically\r\nexpressed before leaving. The house was situated in the parish of Enge,\r\na good fifteen minutes' walk from the town, on a site overlooking the\r\nlake, and was an old-fashioned hostelry called 'Zum Abendstern,'\r\nbelonging to a certain Frau Hirel, who was a pleasant old lady. The\r\nsecond floor, which was quite self-contained and very quiet, offered us\r\nhumble but adequate accommodations for a modest rent.\nI arrived early in the morning and found Minna still in bed. She was\r\nanxious to know whether I had returned simply out of pity; but I\r\nquickly succeeded in obtaining her promise that she would never again\r\nrefer to what had taken place. She was soon quite herself again when\r\nshe began to show me the progress she had made in arranging the rooms.\nOur position had for some years been growing more comfortable, in spite\r\nof the fact that at this time various difficulties again arose, and our\r\ndomestic happiness seemed tolerably secure.

It was only possible to restore, and to enable others\r\n      to enjoy this charma charm so novel, even to those already\r\n      conversant with Mozart's life, that the most familiar incidents acquire\r\n      fresh zest from itby an ungarbled edition of these letters. This is\r\n      what I now offer, feeling convinced that it will be welcome not only to\r\n      the mass of Mozart's admirers, but also to professional musicians; for in\r\n      them alone is strikingly set forth how Mozart lived and labored, enjoyed\r\n      and suffered, and this with a degree of vivid and graphic reality which no\r\n      biography, however complete, could ever succeed in giving. Who does not\r\n      know the varied riches of Mozart's life? All that agitated the minds of\r\n      men in that daynay, all that now moves, and ever will move, the\r\n      heart of manvibrated with fresh pulsation, and under the most\r\n      manifold forms, in his sensitive soul, and mirrored itself in a series of\r\n      letters, which indeed rather resemble a journal than a correspondence.\r\n    \n\r\n      This artist, Nature had gifted in all respects with the most clear and\r\n      vigorous intellect that ever man possessed. Even in a language which he\r\n      had not so fully mastered as to acquire the facility of giving expression\r\n      to his ideas, he contrived to relate to others all that he saw and heard,\r\n      and felt and thought, with surprising clearness and the most charming\r\n      sprightliness, combined with talent and good feeling. Above all, in his\r\n      letters to his father when travelling, we meet with the most minute\r\n      delineations of countries and people, of the progress of the fine arts,\r\n      especially in the theatres and in music; we also see the impulses of his\r\n      own heart and a hundred other things which, in fascination, and universal\r\n      as well as artistic interest, have scarcely a parallel in our literature.\r\n      The style may fail to a certain degree in polish, that is, in definite\r\n      purpose in expressing what he wished to say in an attractive or congenial\r\n      form,an art, however, which Mozart so thoroughly understood in his\r\n      music. His mode of writing, especially in the later letters from Vienna,\r\n      is often very slovenly, evidencing how averse the Maestro was to the task.\r\n      Still these letters are manifestly the unconstrained, natural, and simple\r\n      outpourings of his heart, delightfully recalling to our minds all the\r\n      sweetness and pathos, the spirit and grace, which have a thousand times\r\n      enchanted us in the music of Mozart. The accounts of his visit to Paris\r\n      may, indeed, lay claim to a certain aesthetic value, for they are written\r\n      throughout with visible zest in his own descriptions, and also with wit,\r\n      and charm, and characteristic energy. As these combined merits can only\r\n      become apparent by an ungarbled series of the letters, I have resolved,\r\n      after many long years of zealous research in collecting them, to undertake\r\n      the work,that is, to publish the letters entire that have come to\r\n      my knowledge.\r\n    \n\r\n      It now only remains for me to give some words of explanation as to the\r\n      method I have pursued in editing them.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct

For we shall be gainers, I take it, if this can be proved.'\n      Aristotle certainly knew the passage, and it looks as if his treatise on\n      poetry was an answer to Plato's challenge.\n    \n\n      Few of the great works of ancient Greek literature are easy reading. They\n      nearly all need study and comment, and at times help from a good teacher,\n      before they yield up their secret. And the Poetics cannot be\n      accounted an exception. For one thing the treatise is fragmentary. It\n      originally consisted of two books, one dealing with Tragedy and Epic, the\n      other with Comedy and other subjects. We possess only the first. For\n      another, even the book we have seems to be unrevised and unfinished. The\n      style, though luminous, vivid, and in its broader division systematic, is\n      not that of a book intended for publication. Like most of Aristotle's\n      extant writing, it suggests the MS. of an experienced lecturer, full of\n      jottings and adscripts, with occasional phrases written carefully out, but\n      never revised as a whole for the general reader. Even to accomplished\n      scholars the meaning is often obscure, as may be seen by a comparison of\n      the three editions recently published in England, all the work of savants\n      of the first eminence, (1) or, still more strikingly, by a study of the\n      long series of misunderstandings and overstatements and corrections which\n      form the history of the Poetics since the Renaissance.\n    \n\n      (1) Prof. Butcher, 1895 and 1898; Prof. Bywater, 1909; and Prof.\n      Margoliouth, 1911.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 6763 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Aristotle, 384 BCE-322 BCE \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Bywater, Ingram, 1840-1914 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Aristotle, 384 BCE-322 BCE \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43215369470109,"sku":"gb-6763-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/6763.jpg?v=1671284955"},{"product_id":"string-quartet-no-09-in-c-major-opus-59-gb-6871","title":"String Quartet No. 09 in C major Opus 59","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Quartet No. 09 in C major Opus 59\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 6871 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Beethoven, Ludwig van \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Beethoven, Ludwig van,1770-1827 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43215377957021,"sku":"gb-6871-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/bookcover_f3636584-5165-47e7-b5f1-8f6c1020a676.jpg?v=1671285400"}],"url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/collections\/music.oembed?page=146","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
