Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Musicians is the fourteenth volume of Elbert Hubbard’s popular series of biographical sketches, this installment devoted to the lives of celebrated composers. Hubbard visits, in imagination, the homes and worlds of figures such as Beethoven, Wagner, Liszt, and others.
Written in Hubbard’s warm, discursive, and personal manner, the essays mix biography with reflection and appreciation, aiming to bring the great musicians vividly before the general reader. The series was much loved in its day for its accessible, story-like portraits. This volume offers an inviting and humane introduction to the lives of the masters of music.
