"Arcképek a zenevilágból" by Viktor Papp is a collection of biographical and critical musical essays written in the early 20th century. The work presents vivid portraits of illustrious composers, performers, and conductors active around the turn of the century. The likely focus of the book is to introduce, analyze, and celebrate the artistry, significance, and personal traits of various influential figures within the contemporary music scene of Papp's era, blending historical narrative, critical appreciation, and musical insight. The opening of this collection begins with a heartfelt introduction in which the author explains that many of these essays were originally written during the 1917/18 concert season and published in periodicals, now gathered to preserve their relevance and respond to public interest. It then launches into a series of profiles, starting with the distinguished pianist Josef Lhévinne, describing his background, physical and artistic characteristics, technical mastery, and musical journey. Subsequent sections highlight the prodigious composer Erich Korngold, esteemed violinist Willy Burmester, modernist composer Claude Debussy, poetic violinist Bronisław Huberman, the innovative Richard Strauss, dynamic conductor Egisto Tango, and prominent Hungarian musicians Ernő Dohnányi and Béla Bartók. Each profile weaves biographical detail with critical evaluation and personal anecdote, painting a nuanced picture of both the achievements and unique qualities that define these figures.
