English My Recollections Produced by Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This book was produced from scanned images at The Internet Archive.) "My Recollections" by Jules Massenet is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. The text likely provides insights into the author's life, particularly his experiences as a composer and his journey through various stages of his musical career. The opening sections suggest a focus on his childhood, education at the Conservatoire, and early influences in his life, reflecting both personal and historical contexts. The beginning of "My Recollections" delves into Massenet's formative years, marked by an introduction to music at a young age when his mother gifted him a diary to record his daily experiences, which later turned into his habit of chronicling life events. Massenet recalls the day he was admitted to the Conservatoire, describing the emotional atmosphere surrounding his entrance exam amid the sociopolitical turmoil of the 1848 revolution. Through vivid memories, he sets the stage for an exploration of his upbringing, the significance of his mentors, and his early ambitions in music, all while portraying the intermingling of personal ambition with the broader historical narrative of his time.
