Music-Study in Germany, from the Home Correspondence of Amy Fay

** "Music-Study in Germany" by Amy Fay is a series of letters offering a personal view into the life of a music student in 19th-century Germany. We experience her initial excitement about the music scene, her first lessons, and the difficulties of adjusting to a new country. Her experiences with other musicians, especially her teacher Tausig, show her fight through the demanding atmosphere of German music programs. Through personal stories and sharp observations, the author shows the educational methods and cultural standards of the time, enabling a look into her transformation as a musician and a person. **
