Text Appearing Before Image:
er to describeworks, written according to strict ideas of form,usually in the Sonata and Symphonic style. Thegreat classical masters are Bach, Handel, Haydn,Mozart and Beethoven. The word Romantic is usedto define the works of the composers who came di-rectly after the Classical composers and who wishedto write in freer form, permitting more play for theimagination. The great Romantics are Weber, Schubert, Mendels-sohn, Schumann and Chopin. Widely as the composers of this new school dif-fered in other respects, they were alike in their sus-ceptibility to the tone of thought and feeling whichso deeply colored the romantic literature of theirtime. None of them were strangers to that weariness,approaching to disgust, of the actual world aroundthem and those yearnings to escape from it whichpursued so many of the finest minds of the generationto which they belonged. To such men it was a reliefand delight to live in an ideal world as remote aspossible from the real one. 1 Edward Carpenter.
Text Appearing After Image:
C. M. VON WEBER By Scbimon THE ORCHESTRA 233 Some took refuge in mediaeval legends, where noborder divided the natural from the supernatural one;some, in the charms and solitudes of nature; andothers in the contemplation of peace and beatitudebeyond the grave. 1 Of all the German musicians of the NineteenthCentury none exercised a greater influence than Weber.The historian of German music in the NineteenthCentury will have to make Weber his starting-point.His influence was even greater than that of Beethoven,for deeply imbued though Beethoven was with themodern spirit of that time, he adhered as a rule to thetraditions of the Eighteenth Century. These Webercasts aside and starts after fresh ideals. He was farless perfect in form than Beethoven, nor was he hisequal in power; but in originality he has never beensurpassed by any musician, ancient or modern. Thegerms of life he scattered broadcast; and the whole ofGerman Opera down to Wagners latest works isevolved from Webers spirit. Eve
