Book Synopsis The Book of Musical Anecdotes by : Norman Lebrecht
Download or read book The Book of Musical Anecdotes written by Norman Lebrecht and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is one of the most enjoyable and illuminating books ever published for the music lover, a feast of delightful anecdotes that reveal the all-too-human side of the great composers and performers. There are stories of appetites (Handel eating dinner for three), embarrassments (Brahms falling asleep as Liszt plays), oddities (Bruckner's dog being trained to howl at Wagner), and devotions (a lovely admirer disrobing in tribute to Puccini). There are memorable accounts of Stravinsky telling Proust how much he hates Beethoven, of Tchaikovsky's first bewildering telephone call, of Dvorak's strange love of pigeons, and of Verdi's intricate maneuvering to keep the now-famous melody of "La donna e mobile" top secret. There is also wonderful trivia (Beethoven loved to cat "bread soup" made with ten raw eggs), along with eccentric strategies (Verdi, disturbed by the sound of street organs playing arias from his operas, hired them all for a season and kept them locked in a room). There are examples of musicians munificent generosity (Haydn called Mozart "the greatest composer known to me, either in person or by name"), and scathing dismissal ("Have you heard any Stockhausen?" the conductor Sir Thomas Beecham was asked. "No," he replied, "but I believe I have trodden in some"). Collected from thousands of books, articles, and unpublished manuscripts (with historical sources provided in extensive notes), these anecdotes appear in their original form, throwing fresh light on familiar figures in the musical hall of fame. For browsing, reading, research and amusement, this book is a grand entertainment for concert-goers, record-buyers, operamanes, gossips and music lovers everywhere.

Excerpt: ...according to the measure usually given to the spondee." Pope in his "Memoirs of Martinus Scriblerus," has mercilesslyt ridiculed the accounts of the power attributed to music by the ancients, and we must say that we feel inclined to agree with the author of "The Dunciad," when he refuses to give credence to accounts which are certainly over-seasoned with that quality known as the "miraculous." 403.--An Indirect Hint. Musicians as a rule love good cheer, both liquid and solid; fortunately for this predilection they have been at all times favoured guests of the wealthy, and perhaps no class in the whole community has had so large an experience of the hospitality of great men. That this rather undignified position of musical artists is no new thing is shown by the following story of ancient date: Philoxenus, who taught Antigenides the flute--and who, Burney says, "was so great an epicure that he is said to have wished for a throat as long as that of a crane, and all palate, in order to prolong the relish of the delicious morsels he swallowed--being served with a small fish at the table of Dionysius of Syracuse, and seeing an enormous turbot placed before the tyrant, put the head of the little fish close to his mouth, and pretended to whisper to it: then placed it close to his ear, as if to receive the answer more distinctly. Upon being AN INDIRECT HINT. 161 asked by Dionysius for an explanation of this mummery, he said, fI am writing a poem, sir, upon Galatea, one of the Nereids, and as I want information concerning several particulars relative to her father Nereus, and the watery element, that are quite out of my ken, I was in hopes of obtaining some satisfaction from this fish; but he tells me that...
