Abstract

Musical Chronicles
Sanborn, Pitts | February 6, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the books "My Musical Life," by Walter Damrosch and "Musical Chronicle: 1917-1923," by Paul Rosenfeld. According to Voltaire the secret of being a bore is to tell everything. Walter Damrosch, far from imparting boredom in "My Musical Life," leaves the reader in the plight of Oliver Twist, begging for more. Not a little of this volume is taken up with family matters, ancestry and childhood and sprightly memories of calf love. These and kindred subjects would not need dwelling on in another volume, and Mr. Damrosch could continue without stint to gossip of his memories and recount illuminating anecdotes about musicians dead and living.
