“Dittersdorf, the honest chronicler of his own failures and successes, should have his say in England as well as in Germany.
If not ornate, he is true. Haydn’s imaginary talk, as given in George Sand’s ‘Consuelo,’ is hard to reconcile with the language of Haydn’s Diary. In this plain-spoken little volume we hear the very words uttered by men of genius, not those coined for them by others.”—A. D. Coleridge, Preface
