Excerpt from Wartime Letters From Italy A tenor of the Boston Opera Company felt the same way; here at sea, hundreds of miles from Italy, the shadow of war projected itself. The Americans and the English said: N 0, Italy will not fight. Every day Austria will make more concessions and Italy will get what she wants without war - even the provinces which were stolen from her many years ago. But the tenor, lusty and of fighting age, knew otherwise. The young stewards, the boys who fill wine-bottles, the sailors on the decks and the men deep down in the hold - they could see the mailed fist with the clutching fingers reaching out for their youth, their vitality and happiness, for their lives. Yesterday their Latin gayety was stilled, their voices low, their eyes sad. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Carry on Letters in War-Time Think, adequately expressed in the phrase C curry On, which I have used as the title of this book. It was our happy lot to meet Coningsby in Lon don in the January of the present year, when he was granted ten days' leave. In the course of conversation one night he laid emphasis on the fact that he, and those who served with him, were, after all, not professional soldiers, but civilians at war. They did not love war, and when the war was ended not five per cent of them would remain in the army. They were men who had left professions and vocations which still engaged the best parts of their minds, and would return to them when the hour came. War was for them an occupation, not a vocation. Yet they had proved themselves, one and all, splen did soldiers, bearing the greatest hardships with out complaint, and facing wounds and death with a gay courage which had made the Canadian forces famous even among a host of men, equally brave and heroic. The secret of their fortitude lay in the one brief phrase, Carry On. Their fortitude was of the spirit rather than the nerves. They were aware of the solemn ideals of justice, liberty, and righteousness for which they fought, and would never give up till they were won. In the completeness of their surrender to a great cause they had been lifted out of themselves to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Italy and the World War How can a reasonably just picture be given of a country whose capital is Rome and whose roads stretching north and south therefrom were built by and bear the names to day of a decemvir and of a consul who was slain by Hanni bal, Without taking into account the continuity of its people and the causes which have contributed thereto The fol lowing anecdote may serve to illustrate this idea.

Excerpt from The Letters of Two People in War Time I wonder why I write to you? Is it because your eyes are large and blue - or grey, are they? I scarcely saw. Or is it because I did see something in that flashing moment - something of your soul? Probably No, but since I write, possibly Yes. How enigmatic you are - enigmatic as only simplicity can be. And your charm - that is more easily described - that trick of the lifted lids - all childhood and frankness - that low, clear voice rippled as a woodland pool is rippled by the first warning of a nearing storm.

Excerpt from Scenes From Italy's War Since I wrote this Preface and the first third Of the book, the winter's leisure has been interrupted by the brief campaign in which the Italians captured men and guns, liberated Trieste and Trento, and forced Austria to surrender. That part Of the book stands as first written, with the alteration or addition of a very few sentences referring to the end Of the war. We have thus, for more than three years, been living in constant daily contact with Italians of all ranks, some times joining their messes, always receiving their orders, discussing points of service with them, loading our ambulances daily with their sick and wounded. Our Unit also had for two years a field hospital for Italian soldiers. These opportunities for intercourse and oh servation have been rendered greater by the confidence with which we have always been treated by the Italian chiefs with whom we came in contact, by the spirit Of hospitality and comradeship in which we have been received by thousands of Italian Officers in the scores Of different divisions that we have served, and by the popularity of our service among the peasant soldiers in the ranks.

Excerpt from Italy and the War IN publishing this volume for the benefit of the Italian Red Cross, the National Association of University Professors has been actuated by the desire to place before the public a further expression of the justice and sanctity of the cause for which Italy is now fighting, and to which the Italian University, proud of the glorious pages inscribed by it in the history of the Risorgimento, has consecrated its entire ardour and faith. With these words the following essays by different writers, originally issued under the title La Nosim Guerra, were introduced not only to the Italian, but also to the French public, and with the like aim they are now given to English readers. The English version has unfortunately suffered from the delay inevitable in translation and publication, during which period the rapid march of events that has taken place, causes some of its contents already to appear belated. Nevertheless, as depicting the reasons, the aims and ambitions with which Italy entered on war, it is hoped' that the little volume may awaken some interest among Italy's Allies.

Excerpt from Italy in the War It was an honourable privilege to be permitted to observe, at close range, the young army of an old and famous people, locked in its struggle with a formidable antagonist. Nor could the observer fail to be stirred by these grandiose warlike Operations amid scenes that make so moving an appeal to the historic and artistic imagination carried on as they were under conditions of exceptional and excessive difficulty. Italy has borne the strain with patriotic ardour and high courage, and she has done valuable service to her allies no less than to herself. She has earned the gratitude and respect of the great nations with which she is associated in the vindication of liberty and justice and her well-wishers have good ground to expect that she will emerge from the contest with her national and racial unity complete, and with her political and economic stability more securely established.

Brings new insights to the music of well-known European composers by telling a fascinating, little-known story about French music publishing, specifically through the lens of Jacques Durand's Édition Classique. French composers, performers and musicologists acted as editors of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European 'classics', primarily for piano. Among these editors were Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Debussy, Ravel and Dukas; the objects of their enquiries included core works by Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann and Chopin. Presenting six composer-editor case studies, the volume shows that the French 'accent', both musical and cultural, upon this predominantly Austro-German music was highly varied. Editorial responses range from scholarly approaches to those directed by performance or compositional agendas, and from pan-European to strongly patriotic stances. Intriguing intersections are revealed between old and new, and between French and cross-European canons. Beyond editing, the book explores the Édition's role in pedagogy and performance, including by pianists Robert Casadesus and Yvonne Loriod, and in the reassertion of contemporary French composition, especially regarding innovation around neoclassicism. It will interest a wide readership, including musicologists, performers and concert-goers, cultural historians and other humanities scholars.
