Harriette Brower had the privilege of meeting and interviewing some of the composers in this group, as they were alive during her lifetime.Although the work seemed complete at that time, Mrs. Brower decided to write six more biographies of the Romance composers. These included Liszt, Verdi, Wagner, Franck, Brahms and Grieg.Music lovers will be intrigued with the surprising details of the lives of their favorite composers.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Great Musicians: A Series of Biographies If France had hitherto rendered considerably more homage and enthusiasm to Wolfgang's youthful and aspiring genius than his fatherland, it was reserved to England, whither the family now turned their steps, to enter still more deeply into the true spirit of this young master. Leopold was right when he observed in letters written from England, It passes all imagination. What he knew when we left Salzburg is a mere shadow compared with what he now knows. Wolfgang had indeed learnt much, even during his Paris sojourn, and certain circumstances in England con tributed still more to develop his talent.
