A sympathetic study of "The Symphony Since Beethoven," by Felix Weingartner, conductor of the Berlin Royal Symphony concerts, and of the Kaim Orchestra, at Munich, has been translated from the second German edition (Ditson) by Maud Barrows Dutton, with the author's permission. Dr. Weingartner regards Beethoven as unapproachable, and has only pity for modern composers who have attempted the symphony since Beethoven's time. It is interesting to note the fact that he himself, after writing this little book, composed two symphonies. –Review of Reviews and World's Work, Volume 30 [1904]
