Enchanted Wanderer

"'Enchanted Wanderer is a fascinating story of a great, neglected composer, Carl Maria von Weber. With this biography, Lucy and Richard Poate Stebbins have supplied a long-standing need. In a pleasing and readable style, through careful research, the authors have supplied a long-standing need. In a pleasing and readable style, through careful research, the authors have presented the composer with honest sincerity. He becomes a living personage set in a frame of the early Romantic period, which relates him to his contemporaries, many of whom become very real in the pages of this book. It reads like a novel, although it is a truthful record of Weber's tragic life.'--Marion Bauer, author of How Music Grew"--Dust jacket.
