Modern music and musicians
From pre-classical to early 20th century. Highlights: Edvard Grieg on Mozart and Schumann, Antonin Dvořák on Franz Schubert, Victor Herbert on “Paganini, the torch of Romanticism”, Saint-Saëns on Liszt, César Cui on Russian music, Hugo Riemann on Rubinstein, Romain Rolland on Richard Strauss, Lalo on Saint-Saëns, D’Indy on César Franck, Grover Bower on Afro-American composers. Interesting to see how estimates of importance have changed—or not.
