Author Description

Excerpt from Mes Souvenirs: 1848 1912 La lueur s'est éteinte. La fenètre ne bril [era plus sur le jardin. Celui qui a guidé toute une génération musicale vers le beau est mort. Le gardien du feu n'est plus. Malgré les hulullements sinistres des oiseaux nocturnes musi ciens envieux qui battaient de l'aile contre la cage de verre dont il entretenait le feu central, son oeuvre continuera de briller éternellement.
