A FuN-ScoIe Portrait of the Composer
BerIioz, Who Put q Vital Era to Music

The influence of Berlioz on such
great modern composers as Wag-
,ner, Franck, Richard Strauss,
Debussy and Sibelius long has
been obvious to even casual STU
dents of music. But Mr.. Barzun
insists on Berlioz' eminence as a
creative composer. He also ex-
plodes~ the idea. fostered by some
critics, that the revolutionary
Frenchman was a mere writer of
program" music. And the biog
rapher points out that there is
contrary to a lot of nonsense
about absolute" music. no music
without some sort of program,
for "the art of sound. like every
other, requires a set of specifica-
tions to follow"
"Berlioz and the Romantic
Century" has brought vast scholar
ship into the discipline of a style
easy to read. There should be
much in this critical panorama
for any reader interested in music
or in the recent development of
all the arts.

tional and theological meanings
of the lawsuit. 10 was unprece-
dented because it represented, in
effect, the determination of for
mer citizen of the Soviet Union
to make that government the real
defendant in a court of law and
in the court Of world opinion. He
accused the Soviet government OF
nothing less than crimes against
its own people and against liberty
and humanity.
Readers can judge for them
selves whether he gained a SUBJ
stantial victory In that particular
fight. OF more immediate inter-
est than his further warning
against Stalin's system and COM
munism is his warning to the
United States.
BY the device Of trying to let
us see ourselves as he says many
Europeans see us. he urges us to
guard against blunders that might
actually encourage spread of COM
munism at home and abroad
Some of his views are open at
least to question. But Americans
should choose to read and reflect
on what he saws.

his drinking has been greatlJ
exaggerated. Certainly he drank
at times; just as surely he alb
stained at other periods. Once
he joined the Sons of Temperance
but soon lost interest in those
teetotalers.
It has been said that after he
left the Army, he failed as farm
er and as a businessman. This
was true, in a way, but there were
crop failures and other factors
including the panic of 1857. He
was a shabby, obscure figure, but
sober, earnest one, when the
Civil War broke out and he went
to various authorities looking for
the commission he finally got.
Colorful Childhood.
The chapters on Ulysses child
hood are colorful. He was a shy,
undersized child, who had d
strange mastery of horses which
enabled him before he was IL to
break the widest colts and to
drive adults hundreds of miles
through the Ohio wilderness.
There are glowing descriptions of
the Mexican War, where Grants
bravery and capacity we're rec
ognized by the two commanders
he served under-zachary Taylor
and Winfield Scott. A different
sort of courage was displayed
when after the war the young
officer went aboard a ship at
Panama City and nursed cholera
victims.
In a biography that is sympa-
thetic and yet does not lack real
ism, Mr.. Lewis cites many other
examples of the young Grants
kindness. generosity and lf-ef-
facement.

characters, where there are quota
tions to be had, and let the evi-
dence point to conclusions. AS the
biographer once said in letter to
his publishers, he felt that biogra-
ply "is not instruction or teach
ing, but just a story that happens
to be true"
The cumulative testimony of
this book goes far toward dis
pelling the old idea that Grant
was misfit in the Regular Army,
who just squeezed through West
Point, did pretty we'll in the Mex
lean War, but later was kicked
out of the service for drinking.
The future general and President
had little difficulty at the acad-
emy. Mathematics. always basic
subject, was easy for him. Grant
was never happy in the Army.
but that was aside from his
obvious ability. In the years after
the Mexican War he acquired a
family, and 1t was hard to get
along on a lieutenant's pay in
those days. Naturally he wanted
to better himself. He planned to
resign his commission, as so many
young West Pointers did. but he
put it off. When he finally did
resign. he had been promoted to
captain, but he had been alone
in Oregon and California for two
years. lacking the means to send
for his wife and two children and
to support them in the West at
gold-rush prices.
A False Accusation.
There is nothing in the War
Department records to show that
he was forced or requested to re-
sign. Gossip at the time had it
that his colonel compelled him to
resign for intemperance. The
whole record of Grants young
manhood seems to indicate that

Though he has brought in a great

has analyzed his compositions

The author points out that

90 years bore the brunt of fighting
for the modern art of his epoch"
