Richard Strauss & Romain rolland: Correspondence… door Rollo Myers
Fascinating discussions of music and literature are leavened with the thoughtful prose of two of the geniuses of modernism. The insights into the music of Strauss are enhanced when seen through the eyes of one of the greats, a nobel prize novelist.
Another dim memory from my youth. Whether this bk really 'deserves' a 4 star rating I can't say. I give it one b/c it was the 1st bio I read re Satie (other than, perhaps, the one contained in "The Banquet Years"). Given that I love Satie's music & that his life interests me, it's no surprise I give this bk a good rating.
