Overview
Book 2 of a two-volume set in which Casler (music critic and editor) provides an interesting study of the interplay of stimulation and pleasure when listening to music. He singles out the music-and-literature category of symphonic program music and discusses numerous works in terms of the intersections of music and its literary inspiration whether connected to the text itself, or with a biographical aspect of the author's life, or whether created to depict a character, serve symbolic significance, or impart a mood. He also discusses the structures of works of literature that are symphonic in form.Annotation © Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
