Excerpt from Strauss Salome: A Guide to the Opera, With Musical Illustrations

The writer was invited to prepare this little book with the idea of satisfying, in some measure, the widespread curiosity and interest awakened among music lovers by Strauss' much-discussed and - at the moment of writing - unfamiliar opera. He has had no other intention than to furnish an outline of the dramatic and musical structure of the work, feeling that the uncommon attention which it has attracted warrants such an attempt at an exposition of its content. What the essential artistic value of Strauss' score may seem to be, and how far it appears likely to fulfill the predictions which have been made for it, are questions purely of critical appraisement, and have no legitimate bearing upon so wholly utilitarian an endeavor as this.
