so-soI‘ve read other composers‘ letters like Schubert, Mozart, Mendelssohn. For some reason, these didn‘t really draw me in. Possibly because his letters are quite long. It seems like he was in love with Tytus. There was a lot of interesting historical/cultural/political information. He talked a lot about his failing health toward the end.
“You know how I have longed to feel our national music, and to some extent have succeeded in feeling it.”
pickI received this book from LibraryThing.com Early Member Giveaway for a honest review. This is my opinion of the book. It was interesting to read letters from the author to her biographer. She talks about what happens in her day to day life and also talks about her writing process. I rated the book a 3 out of 5 stars.
Made me think about a certain time not that long ago (at least to me)… it‘s been 5 ish years already.
I do believe this is my #winterwitch package from @BarkingMadRead @BookwormAHN
pickI love reading other people‘s mail.
It was so lovely to spend time with Jane again but as I got towards the end, I got quite sad.
I started this in 2022 and finally finished it as part of my #finishwhatyoustarted readathon
