• Excerpt from Mozart's Don GiovanniThere are in history certain men who seem destined to mark, in their own sphere, a pinnacle beyond which it is impossible to advance. Such was Phidias in the art of sculpture, and Moliere in that of comedy. Mozart is one of these men. Don Giovanni is such a pinnacle.One word as to the aim of this book. I dedicate it especially to young com posers, and to those who take part in the interpretation of Don Giovanni. It is not here my intention to teach either the one or the other, but I have thought that in presence of beauties so profound and delicate, distributed with such profusion in this imperish able masterpiece, it would not be useless to make known and to record the impressions and emotions of a musician who has loved it unswervingly and admired it unreservedly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
