Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Goethe and Mendelssohn: 1821 1831
The scene which this volume attempts to present to its readers is an episode of Weimar's golden days. It shows us old age and fame hand in hand with youth in its first aspirations; the aged Poet fondling the curls of the little musician and calling to him in playful and endearing accents to make a little noise for him, and awaken the winged spirits that have so long lain slumbering in his piano.
