Recollections Of A Russian Home A Musicians Experiences With A Pref By L Winstanly PDF Download

Excerpt from Recollections of a Russian Home: A Musician's Experiences I have been asked by my friend, Mrs. Brodsky, to explain how these Memoirs come to be published. They were originally written for the author's private pleasure, in order that she might recall some of the more striking memories of a life rich in happy experiences; as some of these recollections were connected with eminent men, she contemplated leaving them to be published after her death. Friends, however, to whom portions of the MS. were read, desired to possess the whole, and urged Mrs. Brodsky to make it accessible; she decided to agree, but, even then, a private circulation only was contemplated, to remain entirely in her own control.
