Excerpt from Borodin and Liszt: Life and Works of a Russian Composer; Liszt, as Sketched in the Letters of Borodin

London drawing-room. Would he be told that we had no serious and representative composers worth discussion? Or learn that English music found its only true expression in the comic Operas of Sir Arthur Sullivan? Would he be taken to the Symphony Concerts or to the Music Halls? In short, would it be to Dr Hubert Parry, or to Mr Albert Chevalier, that he would be bidden to pay homage as the immediate representative of musical modernity in England We can but conjecture and pity the confusion of mind which would be almost certain to result from this method of picking up information on the spot. The summing up of the Russian ama teur was succinct, if one-sided Orchestral works by composers of the New School are occasionally given, but meet with poor success. Tschaikowsky is our most truly national glory.
