NOTE
Several of the foregoing essays have appeared in Scribner’s Magazine, the Musical Courier, Criterion, Harper’s Bazar, Metropolitan, New York Sun, and elsewhere. They have been greatly altered and amplified for republication. The study of Parsifal, the major part of which was first printed in the Musical Courier, has been rigorously revised and much enlarged. A few anecdotes of Richard Strauss must be credited to the London Musical Times.
