Seven essays are included in this work: a masterly and exhaustive study
of Brahms entitled "The Music of the Future;" "A Modern Music Lord,"
dealing with Tschaïkowsky (the only personal and professional study of
the kind in print); "Strauss and Nietzsche;" "The Greater Chopin," an
inquiry into what Chopin was and was not, that has no superior; "A Liszt
Étude;" "The Royal Road to Parnassus," a fluent survey of modern
primitive works; and last, "A Note on Richard Wagner."--_Literature._
