Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Compensation or Always a Future I should have no need to write a preface, if had not some explanations to make to my musical reader. The counsels to teachers, and the analytical descriptions of some of the compositions of those great masters, Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin, which this book contains, are not given presumptuously on my own opinion solely. Although I have enjoyed valuable opportunities of musical culture, not only from artists as masters, but from artists as friends, having listened to fine instrumentalists in their hours of leisure, and thus formed my taste and opinions; I have also studied very closely the writings of those excellent critical authors, Berlioz, De Lenz, Oulibischeff, Liszt, Scudo, and others. I am sorry we have not such writers on musical aesthetics in English; and still more sorry that translations of their masterly works, so useful to the musical student, could not be given to the public. But after seeing a cultivated woman spend her time in translating that exquisite and difficult book, "Liszt´s Chopin," just for the pure love of art, with the hope of being use ful to the musical scholar, and then knowing that her fine, conscientious translation traveled from publisher to publisher, each one shrugging his shoulders, saying, "the book is clever, but will not sell," I thought it would be labor lost to give the time I have devoted to the construction of this book to the translation of even one of those valuable works; but, wherever I could use their excellent counsel, or give their technical analysis, I have done so. To Berlioz, De Lenz, and Liszt, particularly, I refer my readers, that they may see how useful such works are to the musical student.
