[312] The authoritative work on Tchaikowsky is The Life and Letters by his brother Modeste; the abridged biography by Rosa Newmarch should also be read. There are excellent essays in Mezzotints in Modern Music by Huneker; in Streatfield's volume Modern Composers and in Mason's From Grieg to Brahms.

[319] According to Liszt "a compendium of musical science in the form of a jest."
