                                  George Templeton Strong was a student, lawyer and prominent citizen in early New York City who faithfully recorded the events of his time in his diary. The diary follows Strong from his days as a student at Kings College (now Columbia University) through his early law career and the entire Civil War era. This diary is a well informed, witty chronicle of the culture, music, restaurants, politics and figures of New York City in the 1820s.

                                  Resonances is the first volume of Strong on Music, Vera Brodsky Lawrence's comprehensive, three-volume chronicle of the little-known New York music scene from 1836 to 1875, based on the superb private journal of George Templeton Strong, one of the great primary records of nineteenth-century
                                  America. Over this forty-year period, Strong, an avid and articulate music lover, attended a great number and variety of musical events and recorded his responses to them in his journal. Taking these comments--few of them previously published--as a point of departure, Lawrence has rounded out the
                                  scene with a fully documented account of the many worlds of music outside Strong's circle, culled from music criticism, editorial comment, gossip, and advertising found in the New York daily and periodical press.
                                  Resonances immerses us in the deluge of music that from the early 1830s through 1849 descended upon the New York public, vividly portraying concerts, oratorios, and operas, as well as an amazing profusion of musicals, burlettas, melodramas, opera travesties, blackface minstrel shows, and other
                                  forms of popular music. We meet glamorous opera stars and spectacular instrumental virtuosos from abroad, feuding Italian opera companies, the New York Philharmonic Society, and the vicious breed of music critics who agreed only in their antagonism toward emerging American composers. A blend of
                                  meticulous scholarship and witty commentary, Resonances informatively and entertainingly reveals for the first time a fascinating and important area of our cultural past.

                                  5 out of 5 stars A brilliant book and fascinating reading.......2003-02-22

                                  I have read a great deal about the cultural history of 19th-century America. And in particular I have tried to learn more about what was going on musically in our country during those times. Pianist/musicologist Vera Brodsky Lawrence happened upon George Templeton Strong's extensive diaries perhaps twenty years ago and realized that he was a true cultural man about town in New York during the middle years of the century and that his comments on musical goings-on were invaluable. So she extracted his musical observations, collected them into three volumes, of which this is the first, and wrote extensive footnotes that explain references that would have little meaning to modern readers. In the process she has written what may be the definitive musical history of the time in New York.

                                  A side note: George Templeton Strong's son, who has the same name, became an important composer of his own era and Naxos is currently recording some of his hitherto ignored orchestral music.

                                  I'm not one given to this sort of thing, but after I read this volume I wrote a fan letter to Ms. Lawrence.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Dynamics of a new nation / seeds of a coming civil war.......1999-07-06

                                  Louis Auchincloss presents two diaries which help the reader better appreciate the growth of Manhattan during the nascent years of this country.

                                  Both the diarists chronicle the great and the mundane events which guided this nation through the assimilation of new citizens, the growth of a two-party system and the development of a war between the industrial states and the agricultural states.

                                  Hone is expecially descriptive of the social dynamics which followed the overthrow of aristocracy and the rise of a political party whose leaders succeeded by manipulating large numbers of newly immigrated citizens.

                                  This book is especially valuable for those of us who have trouble visualising Manhattan as a town modest by today's standards. To paraphrase Mr. Auchincloss' notes, it is for people who don't remember when The Battery was uptown.

                                              I would recommend everyone to read this book. Know that, when you do something, it is not forgotten. Black South Africans are really forgiving people. Their smiles are for real. Purchase this book and read it.

                                              I can not wait to see a movie that will be made from it one day.

                                              Well done!!

                                                5 out of 5 stars easy read - many of his profitable ad examples with explanations.......2007-06-28

                                                Melvin has had decades of experience, and sold millions of books. So he's worth listening to.

                                                His methods are simple, cheap and easy to put to work.

                                                The book is easy to understand, without any wasted words. He just lays out a step by step plan on how to start advertising successfully in classified ads. Without wasting money.

                                                He explains how to write a classified ad that gets results. But he doesn't go into detail about how to write the follow up letter you send to people responding to the ad. But he tells you enough to get a basic job done. And gives successful examples to learn from. In the book he recommends Victor Schwab's "How to write a good advertisement" for learning how to write ads well.

                                                This book more focuses on the process of running classified ads, where to place them, what to offer in the ad, and how to do the follow up. Plus organizational details on running a classified ad driven business.

                                                Recommended.

                                                Rarely have I found a book that I just pick up and can't put down. But this book is one. I bought this along with 2 other books yesterday at a seminar that I spoke at and scanned through them all. This book caught my attention. I started reading it on the plane ride back home and had it finished by the time I landed. I was so impressed - I emailed Melivn to see if he is open to chat on the phone for 1 hour consultation. I'd be willing to pay him what ever he wants for that short period of time.

I dare say that everyone in the business that you see on the TV Infomercials, got their original info from Mel Powers. The gent was long in the business, out of a squat little office in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, CA in the late 1970s when I began in the marketing and sales business. Over the years, I have purchased probably 20 of copies of this book. I keep loaning them out, and they never come home ! The book has the actual copies of very successful newsprint ads and therefore you can use these actual copies of successful ads to write your own. Everyone speaks about the internet for selling, but hands down, nothing beats newsprint ads if the product is appealing to the public.

                                                5 out of 5 stars I would give it 9 stars if I could! Melvin is wonderful!.......2001-05-06

                                                5 out of 5 stars Obviously.......2005-07-15

                                                Ever since I’m interested in the topic I am fascinated by the energy that a lot of people use to deny the obvious: that Wagner’s aggressive an prototypical anti-semitism (that went far beyond what could be expected in his time and let Hitler call Wagner his only true precurser – Vorgänger) can also be found in his works.
                                                If an artist hates religion or women you would not be too surprised to find traces of that in his works. “Obvious” you would say.
                                                But Wagnerians all over the world go a long way to deny that there is anti-semitism in Wagner’s dramatic operas. You have to be very determined to do so. For instance you have to drop his anti-semitic books out of his “Collected Works” as happened in Germany with the innocent explanation they were lacking intellectual “niveau”. Well, racism usually does.
                                                The less you want to know about Wagner’s anti-semitism (and there is a LOT of nonsense about it to be read, things like “anti-semitism was in the air at the time, he couldn’t escape it”, that kind of stuff) the easier it is to enjoy his works (and continue to spend money on them).
                                                You don’t have to read Weiner – read Wagner himself and you are cured. Only: Not his “Collected works”. Rather things like “Das Judentum in der Musik” or “Was ist deutsch?” If you are reminded of „Mein Kampf“ you got the general idea.

                                                So some reviews contend that Wagner’s villains only appear to be jewish because in his time so many people attributed these mischievous traits to them. But of course Wagner, the arch-anti-semite, didn’t intend that.
                                                Sure. If you are ready to believe that then probably Hitler killed 6 million jews by mistake.

                                                Marc Weiner’s book may be a little overly complicated. That is because he is under enormous pressure to prove his OBVIOUS point scrupulously.
                                                It is a very informative book that offers a lot of information about what anti-semitism is like.
                                                That could be part of the reason why so many people hate it.

                                                Finally my favourite quotation from the book, worth keeping in mind for future use:
                                                From Georg Groddeck (a psychologist in the times of Freud) (translated from German):
                                                “When things are done up heroically they cease to be immoral. I learned that from Wagner’s analytical textbook.” (Der Ring, 1927)

                                                1 out of 5 stars Keew da Vagnah!.......2002-06-21

                                                The title of this review is perhaps appropriate, as only one with the approximate intelligence of Elmer Fudd would give any merit to this convoluted, highly questionable stab at serious scholarship. And no, I'm not a hopeless Wagnerian who tailgates at the elitist festival at Bayreuth or who owns 50 different copies of Die Feen on CD. Wagner's anti-Semitism was real enough, but this book goes so far over the deep end that in the end it actually comes close to redeeming the accused (to a certain extent).

                                                While not as obviously venomous as Paul Lawrence Rose's Wagner: Race, Revolution & Redemption, RW & the Anti-Semitic Imagination is just as questionable. Weiner's thesis is that all of the unpleasant characters in Wagner's later operas, with their appearance, smells & voices, are clandestine Jews. Weiner uses such airtight evidence as using another composer's (Mussorgsky) alleged anti-Semitic work to prove that Wagner was doing the same. I hope Mr. Weiner is never my attorney.

                                                One of Weiner's favorite examples in trying to prove his thesis is The Ring's Alberich. Alberich is short, ugly, greedy, manipulative, and cruel to his own race. According to Weiner, this is proof positive that this character is a metaphor for Jewish people. Well....the Nibelungen, the race that Alberich enslaves with the ring & is a member of, were peaceful & not portayed by Wagner in a bad light before Alberich used the nasty little trinket. I suppose it never occurred to Weiner that the Nibelungen were depicted as dwarves in the saga centuries before Wagner even set the tale to music. Of the Nibelungen, only Alberich, Mime, and Hagen are shown as ruthless. The rest are downtrodden. Incidentally, Alberich is the only major character to survive the whole Ring cycle. If Wagner had truly genocidal feelings towards this metaphor, surely he would have had Wotan spear him in Rheingold.

                                                Secondly, Weiner claims that Wagner had Hegelian notions of "the East" being a place of degeneracy and fear, while "the West" was enlightened. However, anyone who knows even a little about Wagner knows that Schopenhauer was a much bigger influence on his thinking than Hegel ever was. What were those statues of Buddha doing at Wahnfried? Why exactly did Wagner become a vegetarian? What is the entire premise of Tristan und Isolde? It was Schopenhauer's love of Eastern thought (primarily Buddhism) that motivated Wagner to formulate such things. Buddhist resignation, rather than any Teutonic drive to conquer, is at the heart of Wagner's later masterpieces.

                                                If you want some good books that deal specifically with Wagner's anti-Semitism, I suggest Ring of Myths and/or The Darker Side of Genius. Unfortunately, both of these books are a little over Elmer's head.

                                                2 out of 5 stars Not entirely untrue, but..........2000-03-25

                                                The most naked flaw of the book is that its rather simple themes are described in graduate school vocabulary of the most indulgent kind. Often, complex ideas require complex language. But here, there is little complexity beyond word choice. For example, instead of 'walk' Weiner consistently chooses 'perambulate'. Is MW's tongue in his cheek? Is he punishing us for all his years of educational drudgery? Is he (un)consciously emulating Wagner's steriotype of Jewish intellectuals being little more than stuffed shirts spouting flashy, showy, yet ultimately shallow knowledge? Other examples:

                                                perambulatory peregrination

                                                topoi, gustatory, mephitic

                                                (he uses vouchafe at least 4 times!)

                                                A big diction (my penis may be small but I have a huge diction...) is an asset, but MW continually trips over it. Obsfucation, like sloppy handwriting, is an aid to the inept--it forces the confused reader to assume that the writer has made some sort of profound point when in fact there is little beyond the vocabulary. But this style is endemic to academia, and it contributes to no one 'in the real world' taking academics seriously. More odiously, an anti-semite could take such an observation, combine it with the disproportionate representation of Jews in the academy vis a vis general population, and conclude that MW's book is evidence of the deleterious effect of Jewish thinking on higher education [pretentious word choice deliberate]. In this light, MW's book becomes fodder for high-brow anti-semites--and I assume that this was not his point. But again, this is a style problem, and there are much worse examples out there, I just can't think of one right now.

                                                The content is simple. But even more simple than MW realizes. In the 19th c. Jews were often associated with 'bad' or evil attributes. So much so, that if one were to make an opera with an evil character, then the attributes of that character could be construed as Jewish. Furthermore, there any fool can find anti-semitism in a Wagner opera, particularly if one looks for it. But that is the beauty of Wagner. There is such a degree of complexity to his work, so many levels of interpretation, that one can find a myriad of meanings. I believe MW is on to something. But it is not profound, it is overdone, and it misses much more profound and meaningful levels of interpretation. The book would make a nice thesis, especially if it was shortened to about 100pp. But the book oversimplifies Wagner's operas, and it has the potential to ruin a reader's couriosity in Wagnerian opera, especially if that reader is sensitive and Jewish. And if you want to hate Wagner as a person, which I do, or if you think you like him, read 'Köhler's Nietsche and Wagner, A Lesson in Subjugation'. Here is a book that gives you more than you thought possible. And if you want some high-brow-dirt on Wagner or Nietzsche, its here.

                                                Wagner's art is too profound and rich to be viewed as Marc Weiner desperately tries to convince us it should, ie, a tool of hate propaganda. Taking Weiner too serioulsly would only impoverish our experience of Wagner's operas. Weiner is so bigoted that he can only see hate in every note of Wagner's operas. Do not let it diminish the rich experience there is in Wagner's works awating for those who want to really explore them.

                                                1 out of 5 stars No contemporary evidence.......1999-07-22

                                                The people who say this book is nonsense aren't necessarily "screeching", as a reader from New Orleans says.

                                                (Though the "reader from New Zealand" who seems to be expressing support for the losing side during WWII is the kind of Wagner fan who embarrasses Wagner fans.)

                                                Anyway the New Orleans reader quotes as "facts", the only two pieces of "evidence" that Weiner cited to show that audiences in Wagner's lifetime recognised coded antisemitic messages in the operas.

                                                "Fact 1" is that there were protests against "recognizable antisemitism" at the _Die Meistersinger_ premieres at Mannheim and Vienna in 1869. But that's not a fact.

                                                The protests weren't against _Meistersinger_, but were against Wagner's disgraceful re-publication, early in 1869, of the antisemitic essay _Das Judentum in Musik_. All Wagner productions current that year (except in Berlin) suffered a backlash. In Breslau Wagner's _Lohengrin_ was withdrawn after protests from the local Jewish community, and the reception of Wagner's _Rienzi_ in Paris was "harmed". Serves Wagner right, too.

                                                Weiner didn't allege there was any antisemitism in either _Lohengrin_ or _Reinzi_ (and obviously he would have if he thought it could be done) but they were still part of the same wave of protest, in 1869, that also included the Mannheim and Vienna _Meistersinger_.

                                                That is, the protests were not about or caused by any of the three Wagner operas that were campaigned against in 1869, but were to do with offence properly taken at Wagner's essay.

                                                For background to the 1869 republication of _Das Judentum_ and the hostile reaction it caused, see Jacob Katz, _The Darker Side of Genius: Wagner's anti-Semitism_, pp 70-77.

                                                Further evidence that the protests were about the essay's republication, not about _Meistersinger_ or the other operas, is that after Wagner later wrote his open letter disassociating himself from antisemitic agitation, there were no further protests at performances of _Meistersinger_ or any other Wagner operas.

                                                On the Mahler "fact", that's not really evidence of what Wagner's contemporary audiences read into Wagner's operas. Weiner says that even by the turn of the century it would have been hard to read Wagner's alleged coded messages. This presumably explains why early commentators mysteriously failed to notice them. But the Mahler quote is from the turn of the century, 1898, twenty-seven years after the _Rheingold_ premiere (in which Mime first appeared), twenty-two years after the _Siegfried_ premiere (in which Mime returns), and fifteen years after Wagner's death. It tells us something about Mahler in 1898, but not about Wagner's contemporary audiences.

                                                The late date is only one issue with the Mahler quote. I quote the review by Lisa Norris, Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, for H-Judaic:

                                                "Weiner's references to Mahler are problematic too. He quotes Mahler's private remark in 1898 that Wagner's Mime was "intended to ridicule the Jews (with all of their characteristic traits...)...," but Weiner does not point out that in 1897, the Jewish-born Mahler converted to Catholicism, and so his own relationship to Judaism and antisemitism was singular and at a critical stage. Can Weiner then really claim that "Mahler stated what I believe must have been obvious to Wagner's contemporaries..." (p. 143)? Where are representative statements from the broader spectrum of opera-going society to corroborate this?"

                                                Where indeed?

                                                The issue is not whether Wagner was antisemitic; I doubt if many Wagner fans, "screeching" or otherwise, would deny that. It makes Wagner the man reprehensible in the same way that other antisemitic composers like JS Bach, Chopin, Liszt, Mussorgsky, Schubert, Schumann, to give a few examples from a regrettably very long list, were reprehensible people. 19th century antisemitism was a European-wide cultural attitude, not a Wagnerian one, and for some it may be easier to focus on one individual than on a culture, or several cultures. Still, the fact remains that Wagner _was_ antisemitic, and that's a disgrace for the man. But it doesn't follow that artists put the worst of themselves into their art: no-one alleges, for example, that TS Eliot's antisemitism is hidden in coded messages in the poems of "Cats".

                                                But the issue is whether Weiner's book alleging secret antisemitic codes in Wagner's operas is a good book or a lot of nonsense.

                                                The second conclusion seems more reasonable. Weiner suggests that people who disbelieve him are in denial, and hints this may be because they are antisemitic themselves. This is not an acceptable kind of argument. You could turn it around and say that only someone who has - perhaps inadvertently - absorbed antisemitic attitudes could read supposedly Jewish characteristics into a fairly standard-issue mythological dwarf like Mime. But insult, on either side, is not a particularly useful form of argument.

                                                People refuse to accept Weiner's thesis for the same reason they refuse to accept von Daniken's thesis in "Chariots of the Gods" or Berlitz's thesis on the Bermuda Triangle: because the arguments don't hold up and the evidence isn't there.

                                                Weiner's arguments in favour of his coded messages are so unconvincing, despite the ingenuity used in creating and describing them, that taken as a whole his book is a convincing argument against the existence of coded antisemitic messages in Wagner's operas.
