Franz Schubert ; And His Time (1928) · Translated by Beatrice Marshall (????–????)
Apparently, the only book by the author to be translated into English.
No sheet music included.
"MANY books have been devoted to Schubert’s life and works. Among the most exhaustive are the biographies of Kreissle von Hellborn, Walter Dahn, and the great work of reference, "Schubert, die Dokumente seines Leben und Schaffen," by that admirable and praiseworthy Schubert Student and inquirer, Otto Erich Deutsch. The present book is a resume of other writings on the subject by the same author, and is meant to be a supplementary contribution towards the solution of the insoluble Schubert problem. It does not boast an array of new biographical material such as has been sufficiently exploited in other works, but its object is, by means of picturing the milieu in which he lived, to throw new light on a figure which more than any other is representative of Viennese art and culture.Schubert, reflected in the mirror of his time, is the theme of this book, which should be accepted as a book essentially characteristic of Austria’s domestic life—in short, a Viennese Schubert book. May it promote in ever-widening circles a love and appreciation of his work, and a more intimate knowledge of the wealth of beauty and melody with which the Master’s genius has enriched the world in the sense of a memorable utterance of Nietzsche’s:
"Franz Schubert, a lesser artist maybe than some other great masters, but of them all, endowed with the most abounding heritage of music. He expended it with a generous heart and a lavish hand, so that musicians for a hundred years to come will nourish themselves on his thoughts and ideas."" (Preface)
