The Love Affairs of Great Musicians (Vol. 1&2)
This is one of the very first books on the subject that features, among other interesting love stories, a revelation of the exact identity of Beethoven's «Immortal Beloved»; the letters of Liszt to his princess; letters of Chopin long supposed to have been burned, as well as diaries and letters gathered by an intimate friend for a biography whose completion was prevented by death; the publication of a vast amount of Wagneriana; the appearance of a full life of Tschaikovski by his brother, with complete elucidation of much that had been suppressed; a detailed account of the whole progress of Clara Schumann's beautiful love story, down to the day of the marriage; and numberless fugitive paragraphs throwing new light on affairs more or less unknown or misunderstood. Volume 1: The Overture The Ancients The Men of Flanders Orland Di Lassus and His Regina Henry and Frances Purcell The Strange Adventures of Stradella Giovanni and Lucrezia Palestrina Bach, the Patriarch Papa and Mamma Haydn The Magnificent Bachelor Gluck the Domestic, Rousseau the Confessor, and the Amiable Piccinni A Few Tunesters of France and Italy – Peri, Monteverde, et al.

What Will People Say? - The Original Classic Edition
This is a high quality book of the original classic edition. <p> This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you. <p> Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: <p> Forbes noted, too, that the people she bowed to in other cars or on the sidewalk seemed to be important people, and yet to be proud when her hat gave a little wren-like nod in their directions. <p> …The men who pay for these things are not here: they are in their offices or shops or at their tasks somewhere, building, producing; or in their graves resting from their labors, while the spendthrift sex gads abroad squandering and flaunting what it has wheedled. <p> …The scarlet woman on the beast, the pink girl with the box of chocolates, the white matron, the widow in the most costly and becoming weeds?they were all more important to the world than any other of mans institutions, because they were pretty or beautiful or in some way charming?as useless, yet as lovely as music or flowers or poetry. <p> …He crept into a tub of water as hot as he could endure, and simmered there, smoking the ache out of him, and imagining himself as rich as Haroun al Raschid, instead of a poor subaltern in a hard-worked little army, with only his pay and a small sum that he had saved, mainly because he had been detailed to regions where there was almost nothing fit to buy. <p> …Forbes sat in the dark room in an arm-chair and muffled his bathrobe about him, watching the electric signs working like solemn acrobats?the girl that skipped the rope, the baby that laughed and cried, the woman that danced on the wire, the skidless tire in the rain, the great sibyl face that winked and advised chewing-gum as a panacea, the kitten that tangled itself in thread, the siphons that filled the glasses?all the automatic electric voices shouting words of light.
