Henry Fothergill Chorley was music critic of The Athaneum for over thirty years. This three-volume book originated in a journal written by Chorley while travelling in Europe, which he edited heavily before its publication in 1841. His aim was to 'illustrate the present state of theatrical, orchestral, and chamber music abroad', focusing on aspects that would be least familiar to an English readership. Volume 2, mainly on Germany, begins with Chorley's impressions of the Harz mountains. He then describes the cultural scene in Berlin - opera, theatre, art galleries and monuments. A final chapter reflects upon Parisian journalism of the time. Chorley's incisive and entertaining eye-witness accounts will fascinate music-lovers and theatre historians, as well as others interested in the performing arts or travel writing in the nineteenth-century.
