Found in this work are descriptions of the text and music of some
of the most famous masterpieces. The opera is never more enjoyed
than by a music lover who is incapable of criticism from lack of
musical knowledge: music being first and last an emotional art; and
as our emotions are refined it requires compositions of a more and
more elevated character to appeal to them. The history of opera
should be known and composers classified, just as it is desirable
to know and to classify authors, painters, sculptors and actors.
