SECOND SERIES.
FREDERICK CHOPIN, ANTONIN DVORÁK, JOHANNES BRAHMS.
Preceded by an Essay on Musical Form.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
‘The three biographies are charming: and in each case the author has something both true and new to say.’—National Observer.
‘The development of form is described with many brilliant touches and with complete grasp of the subject, and the book, which will probably be considered to be even better than the former work, is most heartily to be recommended to all who wish to attain the highest kind of enjoyment of the best music.’—Times.
‘Highly finished portraits are presented of the three modern masters named, and the articles are distinguished by the same musicianly knowledge and felicity of expression as those in the earlier book.’—Athenæum.
‘The amount of labour and research condensed into these pages is really remarkable.’—Musical Times.
‘There is not a word either in the historical or exegetical portions of Mr. Hadow’s work which will not furnish agreeable suggestion to the casual reader, and satisfaction to the student’—St. James’s Gazette.
