Excerpt from Masters of Music: Their Lives and Works The love for and devotion to their art, in all the great composers, is a very wonderful thing to con template. In its name they would brave difficulties and dangers, and counted no sorrow too keen when accompanied by the comfort of music. One day while trudging along in Rome, singing happily to himself, he happened to pass the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The chapel-master within heard the fresh voice, and noted the sweet ness and correctness of tone. He knew that the singer had musical taste, at least, so, going out, he stopped him and told him that he might enter his school as a pupil. Gianetto was then almost sixteen, and this was his first opportunity of studying to become a musician. He was very happy, and at once came to Rome to live, beginning to work with the perseverance which was always one of his strongest characteristics.

Excerpt from Masters of French Music The reader who turns to these pages with the idea of finding therein a large and exhaustive account of the composers mentioned, with a technical analysis of their works, will, I fear, be disappointed. My intention has been a far more modest one. The dimensions of this volume would not have allowed me to devote that amount of space to each composer that might be considered due to his merits. The object I have had in view has been to give an account of their lives and to draw attention to the tendencies exhibited in their works.

Excerpt from Masters in Music, Vol. 1 Then, my good sir, replied Mozart, I have only to resign myself and die of hunger. And whatever were the causes of his poverty, we can have nothing but admiration for the courage with which he bore the misery and anxiety it entailed; the mental heroism with which, in his work, he held himself above them. He continued composing, from this time on, with unimpeded vigor and fertility. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Masters of Italian Music No one who ventures to write about modern Italian music can hope to avoid a certain element of monotony. At the present time, and indeed for many years past, music in Italy has meant Opera, and Opera alone. The vast majority of Italian composers devote their best energies to this peculiarly national form of art, while those who cultivate its other branches constitute a minority so insignificant as scarcely to be worthy of mention. In France and Germany Opera has divided honours with Orchestral Music and Oratorio. In Italy it has reigned supreme. In England, except at a few favoured moments, Opera has always been an exotic. At the present time, as a national form of art it is practically non-existent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Masters in Music, 1905, Vol. 6: A Monthly Magazine At that time, with the exception of Glinka, there were no Russian composers nothing but amateurs, dilettante landlords, dilettante clerks: musicians, real artists, who looked upon their art as the very essence of their lives, were nowhere to be found.

Excerpt from The Masters and Their Music: A Series of Illustrative Programs, With Biographical, Esthetical, and Critical Annotations, Designed as an Introduction to Music as Literature, for the Use of Clubs, Classes, and Private Study When a musical student begins to think of music as a literature and to inquire about individualities of style and musical expression, it is necessary for him to come as soon as possible to the fountainheads of this literature in the works of a few great masters who have set the pace and established the limits for all the rest. In the line of purely instrumental music this has been done by Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, and Wagner. The latter, who exercised a vast influence upon the manner of developing a musical thought and in the selection of the orchestral colors in which it can be expressed advantageously, powerfully stimulated all composers later than himself, nevertheless exerted this influence at second-hand, so to say, never having written purely instrumental movements, but merely dramatic accompaniments of one intensity or another. Hence, for our present purposes we may leave Wagner out altogether. Practically, down to about the year 1875, everything in instrumental music is original with the masters already mentioned, or was derived from them or suggested by them.
