Page 84, "same" changed to "some". (The striking success of this
composition reminds us of the following passage occurring at the end of
an article by Sir Hubert Parry written some years ago.)
Page 122, "Frankfort" changed to "Frankfurt" for consistency. (The chief
feature in the interpretation on Tuesday was the superb rendering, by
Professor Hugo Becker, of Frankfurt, of the violoncello solo which
throughout the work is identified with the person of the titular hero.)
Page 129, "Symphony" changed to "Symphonie" for consistency. (="Faust
Symphonie," Düsseldorf.=)
Page 129, "like" changed to "likes". (Whether one likes his style or
not,...)
Page 151, "dramatized" changed to "dramatised" for consistency. (He is a
great master of form, but he dramatises the chamber-music forms very
much as Beethoven dramatised the symphony,...)
Page 153, "Carneval" changed to "Carnaval" for consistency. (In his
rendering of Schumann's "Carnaval" not a point was missed,)
Page 179, "Wienaiwski's" changed to "Wieniawski's" for consistency.
(Wieniawski's Fantasia on Themes from Gounod's "Faust," Paganini's
caprice "I Palpiti," Bazzini's "Ronde des Lutins," the last-named played
among the encore pieces.)
Page 180, duplicate "and" deleted. (For the present we are mainly
concerned with Mr. Kreisler, who is not so desperately youthful, but is
a mature and military-looking man, though he is commonly reckoned among
the players of the new school, or the rising generation.)
Page 192, "Leonara" changed to "Leonora" for consistency. (Glancing now
at musical activity in other countries, we find attention necessarily
concentrated in the first instance upon the heroic figure of Beethoven,
who in this year (1813) had already given to the world his Eroica, C
minor, Pastoral, and Seventh Symphonies, besides his Violin Concerto,
Razoumoffsky Quartets, Waldstein and Appassionata Sonatas, his one opera
"Fidelio," together with the third "Leonora" overture, and many other
works of towering genius.)
Page 224, "idiosyncracies" changed to "idiosyncrasies". (But when all
allowance has been made for such personal idiosyncrasies, it remains the
fact that Nietzsche has more boldly than any other writer of our time
raised the most important of social questions ...)
