Produced by David Newman, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Musicians of to-day" by Romain Rolland is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work explores the lives and contributions of prominent musicians, focusing on figures such as Hector Berlioz, Wagner, and Richard Strauss. It aims to provide a deep understanding of these composers' artistic struggles, perspectives, and the evolution of music during the period. The opening of the text specifically delves into the life and works of Hector Berlioz, highlighting the paradox that while he is widely recognized, his true essence remains misunderstood. Rolland discusses how Berlioz's complex character and unique approaches to music often led to misinterpretations of his genius. The narrative emphasizes the challenges Berlioz faced both in his personal life and within the musical community, illustrating his internal struggles and the profound impacts on his compositions. Through detailed analysis and rich descriptions, Rolland sets the stage for a deeper appreciation of Berlioz's artistry, which boldly defied the conventions of his time.
