Goethe's Dramatic Use of Music

Extract

Despite all the vast amount of paper and ink devoted to the topic headed “Goethe and Music,”—and students of the subject may well be impressed to learn that Calvin Brown, after checking the extensive bibliography of this field recently issued in book form by Frederick Sternfeld, found some seventy titles in his own file which were not in Sternfeld's list—despite all this erudition and toil, there is one little angle of the subject which appears to have been overlooked. And yet it seems to me more eloquent of Goethe's originality of mind than most of what has been printed regarding his relation to music.
