October 4, 1894 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "The Boundaries of Music and Poetry," by W. A. Ambros. The name of Ambros is well known in the province of musical history and literature, it would have been hardly worth while to translate this little treatise, for a more rambling, illogical, undigested, bewildering book has rarely been written, even by a German with symptoms of metaphysical mania. The book gives the impression of being the work of a man who had some interesting things, more or less related, to say, who put them down at random, trusting to luck as to sequence and who felt too lazy afterwards to rewrite the whole thing and give a literary shape.
