Excerpt from The Story of Symphony Weingartner's Symphony Writers since Beethoven carries on the story up to recent times, but more prominence is given in this to German compositions than to the equally, if not more, important works of the Russian and other schools. The nearest approach to a complete work on the subject is Sir Hubert Parry's masterly article in Grove's Dictionary, which treats exhaustively of the history of the symphony up to the time of Brahms. But in this, again, more modern composers obtain but slight consideration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
