"The Poor Musician" is an autobiographical novella by Austria's
famous dramatist and poet Franz Grillparzer (1791-1872): Rounded
and compacted, and yet saturated with the sad tragedy of his own
isolation it is the most artistic work we have from his pen. For
the student of Grillparzer-psychology it is a veritable treasure
trove. "The Poor Musician" was the one piece of his creative genius
that unflinchingly grappled with the great problem of resignation;
the one piece that pictured resignation; but also the one piece
that made resignation itself tragic. --- The poor, half-witted
fiddler, shipwrecked in life, coddling his woe as the last sweet
treasure it has left him, pouring it forth in the midnight solitude
of his chamber in music that is music to none but the illusioned
player such is resignation.
