He was born in 1879 and this volume, first published in 1944, takes us as far as 1923. He underwent his first marriage in 1903, there being two sons from this union, but you would never know any of that for anything he tells us about it here. What this book is about is his life as a musician, with a 3-year hiatus forced on that through the financial problems consequent on his father's untimely death together with the exceptional circumstances of World War 1. His style of writing is simply exquisite. It is more than slightly lofty, of course, but he is neither self-important nor (perhaps surprisingly) snobbish - he knew talent when he saw it and did not confuse it with status. He has a little to say about politics and the world scene, but here too he is surprisingly undoctrinaire. Naturally there are some caustic denunciations, but the ironic sideswipes are more characteristic, including his delicious comment on the meetings held with a view to establishing an orchestra in Birmingham Ref J7.
