About this book

Mezzotints in Modern Music, by James Huneker, names Brahms, Tschaïkowsky, Chopin, Richard Strauss, Liszt and Wagner on its title page. A note on Richard Wagner says that if it had been hinted a quarter of a century ago that Semitic blood flowed in Wagner's veins, roaring laughter would have streaked critical Europe. The writer says that Bülow once confessed that Brahms cured him of Wagner mania.

The writer exclaims what an impassioned romance the French horn sings in the second movement. The writer describes the oboe and the horn in tender converse and says you can never forget those first six bars. A list of names with page numbers gives entries for, among others, Berlioz and Bizet.
