Richard Strauss the Man and His Works (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Richard Strauss the Man and His Works

When asked to write this introduction, it seemed to him as funny as if he had invited Doctor Schmidt to write an overture for Elektra but he consented. An extract from this document, relating to the value of hostile criticism, will be printed later in this volume. Pertinent to the present subject is the final paragraph.
