Mr. Henry T. Pluck is an ardent admirer of Chopin, and writes with the view of explaining, to a certain extent, his compositions, and of defending him for never having written any large work. It is more of a treatise on his work than an account of his life, which is at first, perhaps, slightly disappointing; but the reader will be well repaid if he persevere. ‘How Composers Work’ is an extremely interesting portion of the book, but the most interesting is that entitled ‘German Opera in New York,’ which is chiefly an account of the growth of the Garman opera and its dramatic vocalists.” -The Spectator, July 20, 1889 Less
