Críticas
"Mooser's memoirs in English translation, enhanced by Mary Woodside's splendid annotations, make available an important primary source in its own right, to the benefit of music historians and music lovers alike." - Malcom Hamrick Brown Professor Emeritus Indiana University Founding Editor of the series Russian Music Studies "Mooser's Memoirs provide a valuable insight on what happens when musicians and music migrate from one cultural site to another." - Dr. Friedemann Sallis Associate Professor University of Calgary "This book will be the first English translation of a primary source for the period 1890-1910." - John D. Kissick Professor and Director School of Fine Art and Music University of Guelph "An entertaining, illuminating romp through turn-of-the century St. Petersburg culture.... Neal Johnson is to be commended for his sparkling translation and Mary Woodside for her indispensable commentary to the memoirs, which, beyond their technical insights, attest to the power of art to shape politics." - Dr. Simon Morrison Associate Professor of Music Princeton University"
