| Description: |
Albert Schweitzer and Alice Ehlers met as musicians. This book comprises a selection of letters they exchanged between the years of 1928 and 1965. Although music is the main subject of these letters, particularly the early ones, they also deal with their personal and professional lives. |
| Synopsis: |
Albert Schweitzer, the philosopher, theologian, physician, biographer of J. S. Bach and musician, and Alice Ehlers, the harpsichordist and great Bach interpreter, met as musicians. This book makes available for the first time a selection of letters these two great personalities exchanged between the years of 1928 and 1965. Although music is the main subject of these letters during the early period of their relationship, the letters increasingly deal with their personal and professional lives. Later letters reveal the help Ehlers rendered Schweitzer's hospital through benefit concerts, Schweitzer's concern for the future of his hospital, and his happiness with the growing world-wide acceptance of his ethical ideas. Schweitzer's last letter was written only months before his death. |
