Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Six Months, March-August 1914 Having been travellers - not to say explorers - all our lives, my mother and I decided to visit Dalmatia, Montenegro and Bosnia during the months of March and April. We were - as was our custom at that season - passing a few weeks in Venice before proceeding northward. We occupied a splendid fourth-floor room at the Hotel de l´Europe - the very room in which Verdi conceived and wrote the fourth act of Rigoletto. The sight of the raging sea in the basin of St. Mark is said to have inspired the Italian composer, just as the calmer aspects of the same incomparable scene must have aided, if not inspired, the great German to write the unsurpassed love music of Tristan and Isolde in a second-floor apartment of this same hotel. We, too, witnessed a storm from Verdi´s windows, which command an uninterrupted prospect extending from the Public Gardens to the Salute. During the storm, which lasted for three days, we sat in our wonderful sky parlour and read The Count of Monte-Cristo, talking between whiles of Dalmatia and planning for it with our good friends, Cook and Son. Finally, in spite of considerable discouragement, great difficulties and some misgivings, we embarked on the tour which was to begin at Venice and end at Vienna.
