GLUCK AND THE OPERA:
A STUDY IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC
"This book is an admirable study, not only of the great musical reformer's career and artistic work, but of the philosophy of musical drama, with more especial reference to its earlier manifestations . . . The book is one of those rare achievements in musical literature that are likely to gain a certain amount of recognition from literary people, as well as from musicians. It well deserves it, for a more thorough, temperate, and right-minded piece of work has not lately been seen in England.—The Times.

A STUDY OF WAGNER
By Ernest Newman
"Mr. Newman has written a very interesting volume on Wagner's greatnesses and weaknesses, and his study is especially to be welcomed, since it is the work of a critic and not merely that of a worshipper. . . . It is this note of reaction against Wagner-worship, in a book written however by a great admirer of Wagner's music, which gives it its distinction and interest. . . . Altogether this is a book which by the vigour of its style and the outspokenness of its views will make a stir in the Wagnerite and anti-Wagnerite world."
