Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Symphonies and Their Meaning
Tm: plan of this book is very simple It is really the reverse of the traditional. Little is here told of the lives of the masters; of a composer's ancestry, of the painful scale of his career, even of the date of his works. Con crete events have, in themselves, no place. And yet, it is believed, instead of a loss, there is in this very omission a great gain of per sonal interest, of insight into the essence of a master's individual quality, of his poetic character.
