Book Description
Jonson's book consists of an account of each Chopin composition, its place among the composer's work, its distinguishing features, notes of any special point of interest attaching to it and an epitome of comments and criticisms that have been made upon it. It is supplemented by biographical details and socio-historical information. The author gives a very detailed overwiew of the composer's life and work which deserves special attention in the field of Chopin studies. Reprint of the original edition from 1905.

Book Description
Leipsic, the centre of the world's music trade, exports about one hundred thousand dollars' worth of music to America every year. I do not know how much of this sum is to be placed to the account of Chopin, but a leading music dealer in New York told me that he sold three times as many of Chopin's compositions as of any other romantic or classical composer. This seems to indicate that Chopin is popular. Nevertheless, I believe that what Liszt wrote in 1850, a year after the death of Chopin--that his fame was not yet as great as it would be in the future--is as true to-day as it was forty years ago. Chopin's reputation has been constantly growing, and yet many of his deepest and most poetic compositions are almost unknown to amateurs, not to speak of the public at large. A few of his least characteristic pieces are heard in every parlor, generally in a wofully mutilated condition, but some of his most inspired later works I have never heard played either in private or in the concert hall, although I am sure that if heard there they would be warmly applauded.

Book Description
Musical Memories by Saint Saëns is about famous composer Saint Saëns friends and admired acquaintances during his lifetime whose influences have permeated his widely-enjoyed music. Excerpt: "In bygone days I was often told that I had two mothers, and I did have two—the mother who gave me life and my maternal great-aunt, Charlotte Masson. The latter came from an old family of lawyers named Gayard and this relationship makes me a descendant of General Delcambre, one of the heroes of the retreat from Russia. His granddaughter married Count Durrieu of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres."
