Henry T. Finck Livres

    Henry Theophilus Finck fut un critique musical américain, éminent promoteur de Richard Wagner et de ses théories musicales aux États-Unis. Après avoir étudié la philosophie, les lettres classiques et la musique à Harvard, ainsi que mené des recherches en psychologie physiologique en Europe, il devint rédacteur musical pour le New York Evening Post. Tout au long de ses quarante années de carrière, Finck a joué un rôle déterminant dans la popularisation de la musique et des idées influentes de Wagner, tout en conservant une voix critique distinctive. Son œuvre a favorisé une compréhension et une appréciation plus profondes de l'esthétique musicale de son époque.
