Lee, E: Grieg (Classic Reprint) -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Grieg

P to the present only a limited number of European nations have produced tone poets who have spoken with the unerring con viction of inborn instinct in the idiom of their native land. The youngest of the arts, Music, when it emerged from the amorphous, though very beautiful, position which it held as hand maid to religion on the one hand, or its more shapely, but still crude, use as accompaniment to the song or dance on the other, found its domicile in Italy and Germany. Putting aside the glorious contrapuntal and polyphonic schools of the Netherlands, which had their in?uence upon our own country, as being the medium of expression of a by-gone age, music (and by that is meant modern music) passed its adolescence and vigorous manhood in Germany, served by such sons as Bach, Beethoven, and the whole line of wondrous German composers.
