II is the present charm and the abid-
ing value of Mr.. Krehbiel's numerous
essays on various phases Of musical
art, and especially of his writings about
operas, that TREY are Of interest and
profit to both the professional and the
lay reader, to the accomplished and eX-
pert musician and to the mere MUSIC
lover. who knows nothing of technical
ties but who wishes to be intelligent IN
his or her simple enjoyment OF the
sensuous delights of melody and har-
mOnv. We have read works on music
and musicians which were mere COM
pilations Of stage and foyer tattle. Cos
sin and scandal: titillating the palates
Of the thoughtless. but of less signifi-
canoe than the whistling Of the wind.
And we have seen prodigicusly and por-
tentously technical works which scarce
" the cognOscenti themselves could
read without either yawning or mental
fatigue.
Mr.. Krehbiel avoids these errors. His
devotion TO musical art is so scholarly
and serious that mere tattle and inven-
ton have no place in his ken. But he
finds and he presents the truth so rich
in both human and artistic interest as
to be as fascinating to the lay reader
as any imaginative romance. Thus he
makes these chapters on operas highly
entertaining even to those who have
never seen one of the works described,
and rich with the information which
every operagoer should possess Tor a
right understanding and full enjoy
ment of the scores and librettos, while
they are also authoritative for the IN
struction of even veteran musicians.
OF the catholicity of Mr.. Krehbiel's
taste. the sanity and fearlessness of his
judgments. the amplitude Of his knowl-
edge and the elevation Of his ideals, we
need scarcely again speak. Have they
not been writ large and bold upon the
pages of The Tribune for many year
All these qualities are summoned into
service in this volume. which ranges IN
its considerations from the border line
between oratorios and Biblical operas
and from the noble essay of Rubin
stein at a "Geistliche Oper" TO the hot
